Description
The Darkness Cover: Co-Op with Azreal Silver(My first shot at colorizing and texturing a sketch so be gentle
Admittedly, I know nothing about the comic The Darkness but when I was perusing Twira's fun filled page of furry art a week or so ago I noticed her latest Fave addition and immediately contacted Azreal-Silver about doing a Co-op. Azreal-Silver did all of the sketch work (actually, here is a link to the original piece [link] ) and I did all of the coloring, texturing and cleanup.
I have about 15 hours total involved in this, and about 20 ibuprofen, the detail work gave me such a headache!!
Programs Used
Ulead PhotoImpact 6 (any and all texturing work, colorizing and such was done in PI6. Fast becoming my choice for graphical work.
Plugins Used
Eye Candy 4000 Glass Effects, Bevel Boss, and various combinations of filters. I came up with and saved about 5 seperate glass effects for the amber color to try to get the correct lighting for this one.
I also had to use an obscene amount of Smudge, Burn, Lighten and such.
Make sure to check out gallery, it's quite good
Thanks in advance...

i agree with sixwings, should make the BG a bit lighter, but i like how it gives a hellish feel to it
same goes for the border, i pretty much jus cut them off in my colored version but yeah you could make them all black would worm to i think

This is amazing! You really did a wonderful job bringing colors to this masterpiece. I love the red flames in the background, I would love to be able to do those.. but the coloring of the armor is definitely what finally catch my attention, it's so detailed and perfectly done!
I love this, man, you did a fantastic job with it!

The main cahracter is terrifically done here..the yellow and green areas are nicely shaded. Sixwings ahs a good point about having the fire cut off ahlfway be those ghost thingys but overall id say this pretty much kicks ass.

I think the coloring of this guy is WAY freakin awesome man
EXCELLENT job.
The hair - everything.
The only thing that bugs me is the background... The fire idea is good - could work well, but the black parts of the fire BG are blending in too much with the dark parts of the characters and loosing the detail of their outlines. If you could make a fire BG that is lighter, but not too light, it would be a whole lot better me thinks. If you get it too light then it is gonna throw your character lighting off, so be carefull - might wanna play with the saturation of the BG when you get the right fire BG ready. The swirl of the fire looks nice tho
Another thing - you might want to make the left and top border all black - that way the black characters look like they are coming out from behind something instead of just cut off by a line. Maybe keep the line lighter.
That's it
