Description Color me something beautiful
So that I may dance a vivid life...

Since I've almost put up all of my coloring tutorial [link] at this point, I figured I should upload some nice line art for people to play with. I had this picture drawn (with mechanical pencil) and lying around, so I decided to ink and scan it, and then ink it some more on the computer. Those of you who know my art know that I am absolutely terrible at inking, so I'm not quite sure what possessed me to want to ink this monster of a picture. The Photoshop pen tool helped immensely here. XD Probably my longest inking job in... forever. >D

Anyway, I'm not sure how conducive this is to an easy coloring job, but I figured with all the bells and whistles, It should at least provide for some creativity in the look-and-feel. So go at it! You guys are free to download this (the big version), print this out, color it either by digital or traditional means. And upload it when you're done! Leave a link on my front page or note me, and I'll take a look and comment. ^__^ I just ask that you guys give me credit for the line art when you're posting this on the web.

As for me, I might color this as well someday. Just... not anytime soon. XD

Wow! It's so detailed! Might want to colour it, if i can... but i don't have those programmes you mentioned in your tutorials... but i'll cope... some how I'd sure love to see how you'd colour this, i bet it'll be as beautiful as your other works.

Oh, wow. An artist such as yourself giving petty artists such as myself a chance to try? Wow! Kool!
And I really love how you respond to every comment you get... Unlike some of those popular deviants out there who ignore everything...
So I can actually try my skill at coloring this? *sparklie eyed* You're so totaly my new fave DA idol! *worships*

It's not the talent that I totaly wirship. It's the kindness as well! *glee*

joulee In reply to Oh-Link-save-me [2005-09-02 02:31:07 +0000 UTC]

lol~ well, I used to not respond... but it's summer, and I have more time, so why not? It just so happens that the number of messages I get isn't ridiculously large, so I'm able to respond. I can imagine that more popular deviants would have their comments and notes overfilling, hence making it infeasible to respond to each individually, so I guess you can't really blame them When school starts anew and I'm pressed for time, I probably won't respond as much. Thanks for appreciating though! ^^
