you really nailed this- i guess it would be redundant to have you color the inks i did?

I was going to flat it and have finish it for a different coloring style.

Nice colors man, so do you work with RGB colors or do you use the CMYK profiles like Chamba does?

There are a couple of steps he does that I follow that I'm not sure why I do yet, except that it looks good to me in the end. So on one of the shadow layers I use a 25,25,25,0 fill which I believe converts the colors to cmyk. So I'm not actively using cmyk, I just use the color picker to get my desired color. Thanks!

I think the guy who mentioned how you highlight the clothes and body in a similar manner is on to something. I could actually see reversing the technique (adding the small bright highlights to the clothing and not the skin) being more effective. Your coloring skills are tight, but to take them to the next level, consider changing how you make the shapes for highlights (and shadows) depending upon the material you're working with. For example, look at the parts where the clothes crease heavily (such as the neckline). That's an ideal spot to add a lot of small highlights to augment the way the fabric is affected by the muscles underneath (even though it wouldn't actually do that in real life no matter how tight the top is, but this is comics so no matter). But Shotomanexe was right about the skin; in most cases it shouldn't be shinier than the clothing.
Your attention to the shadows worked very well with the pencils, but maybe the shadows could use a touch more contrast to make them noticeably darker than the rest of the figure.
Overall though, you did a fine job.

No I just wanted to give it a shot. I wasn't sure my colors worked over Noel's lines. Thanks, Wayne.

Much appreciated, since I was apprehensive about this piece in the first place.

I don't know why, This thing is awesome.

Everything else is legit though. I would keep from highlighting the clothing(unless they're shiny) as much as the skin and sword, but that's just me.

I used a lower opacity for the clothing because I felt it needed something. That's just my preference I guess.

I feel ya. Maybe a softer highlight then?

Wow, that didn't take long, Hulkster! This looks Gangsta! What were you worried about?

I saw it this morning and jumped on it. I am really glad you like it. I think its funny that my colors are starting to get a lot of attention now, because I still feel I am missing something major.

Well, you've found a technique that works for you, stay with it!
