[Van Kleiss and the Generator Rex cartoon show belong to Man of action and Cartoon network]

this should probably be in scraps but I don't care.
In fact, even though this is WIP, I'm going to share it with the fangroups [if they'll allow it] because that's the most likely place for it to be see by people who can give useful feedback.

The sketch version before coloring looks much better...

I LOVE lineart. coloring is tricky and often doesn't make things better

but I still find coloring fascinating, so I imagine someone else might. Color really changes the feel of the image, completely and in unexpected ways.

which colors I choose, also, changes it completely ...

I just roughed in some approximate colors to get a feel for what colors I want to use and what challenges I will face. textures [and I don't mean the pre-made kind, I don't use those] will be a challenge, for example, the metallic gold hand will have to be distinguished from the vine more though texture and shading than through color, because the colors will be similar.

I'm not sure what color his coat really is, in the show it never looks red to me but people draw it reddish all the time. I'll have to do some research on that. also need to do some reveiw on fabric folds, anf for the background look at some general backgroud pictures of Abysus...

and I need to draw a cherry blossom tree. I've never drawn one.

there's something about color, even rough color, that brings a picture to life. I love color, and it frustrates me that I don't yet have the skill to do it well. I will try to remember that as I work on learning those skills to color this.

all feedback and suggestions very welcome

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THI PICTURE???--please tell me. I need constructive criticism more than praise at this stage of the game.

[praise is ok too though...or just your own thought on VK or Gen Rex in general or color in general. ANYTHING]
