Description This is a digitally colored version of a pencil drawing I did previously: [link]

I've been trying to think of a new style to try out and this came to mind, so I decided to give it a shot. The quality is still in the larva stage, but the concept might be promising. What do you guys think of it? Any suggestions?

If I do more drawings in this style I'll be able to get the shading much better in the initial pencil sketch since I won't have to worry about getting the illusion of hue difference. I imagine that will help out a lot, since the main problem I had with this was getting the shading more pronounced.

I quite like the painted-look of the background even thought it wasn't planned.

I'm sorry I waited so long to comment on this one >_<

I like this one so much!!
I was already very impressed by the drawing, but the coloured version is even better! A LOT better!!
The shading of Red's left arm and his... uhhh... skirt (?) is really just perfect!!
For an experiment it looks just amazingly great!! *_*

No problem. I do the same thing sometimes. ^^

Thank you. It turned out a lot better than I was expecting. The trick was figuring out what modes to have the layers in, I think.

lol. I had someone look through my sketchbook a week or two ago who had never even heard of IZ and I had to explain to him that no, the big one was not a girl and that yes, he was wearing a skirt. It would have been even harder to explain if I had him with his original colors [link] XP

lol it's different, i'll give ya that
but it looks so good!!!
i'm loving it!
but, just a tiiiny bit of a suggestion?
maybe, make the part facing away from the light a tad darker, and have an accented shadow over Zim,
like Red is being imposing

lol thanks. ^^

Ah, I didn't think of that. Originally the red-shadowy-thing was going to be the light and I said "Hey, that's cool!" so I put more in without thinking about it. XP

Thanks for the CC. And the fav, of course.
