Description
I tried yet another coloring style!
!deargodthiswasfuntomake
I have a weird craving lately, craving? I dunno fits , anyways I have been dying to do a big colored image with a background. So, when I got m chance I pounced with the red purple and brown hues.Β
The character in this, (with the tale) is another character of mine from a species I am gonna be someday putting together a reference for you all. Though Sadly you won't know much about him for some time in the comic.Β
all art and the characters belongs to *TheEvilTeaDrinker

Oh this was an instant favorite I don't know who or what that creature is watching him but I'm in love everything is just so lovable here especially the little green men who hasn't a clue he's being watched or followed. Love love love it.

It is a character that I am keeping under wraps at the moment for my stories sake that I am working on with ~Alison-lynn Β
But I am really thrilled you enjoyed this piece Sad thing is little green man there probably isn't gonna be around much longer with this bugger following him. π: 0 β©: 0

XD You just might~~Β
I wish i could post more about his species but due to the comic my friend and I are making most of it is going to have to remain a secret for now >->Β
I was trying dozens of new things here from coloring to perspectives ;v; I am just glad that people liked it..~Β

Wow that colouring came out so well! I love that character so neat (that tail is epic) >.> but I was wondering (since my eyesight sucks and all) is that Archer down there?

Hu hu hu~ lets hope that the more I post of him doesn't give away too much about his character.Β
It could be, in my head canon for irkens most irkens are made from a similar base DNA strand. There being a variations of DNA strands though, it making it not uncommon to encounter Irkens with similar faces. Cause well cloning is a bitch like that when it comes to making twins and what not.

Honhonhon~ hmmm now I am curious! Β
That's neat makes sense though.... I bet they see doubles everywhere, and here I think it's weird when I see someone who looks like someone I know O.O imagine how they feel...... >.> lol (though I suppose it's normal for them....)

Well your just gonna have ta wait~
There are natural born irkens which have a larger variety compared to the PAK wearing ones. But they are greatly looked down on due to their PAKlessness.Β Plus it makes a great excuse for not being able to draw too many differently shaped heads XDD π: 0 β©: 1
wouldn't surprise me
Yup, yup, true... So true.... Makes your job easier I imagine

Lovely composition! The lighting and the colors set the perfect mood! Great work!Β

I am glad that it came out as hoped then! I really wanted the colors to give it a dark suspenseful feel, and kinda draw your attention to the guy walking as well because of the bluer colors and the way the paint strokes lead to that single point. >v>Β
Thank you ;DΒ

I have to admit reds are definitely some of my favorite colors, so drawing this was just a complete blast for me. Especially playing with some other coloring formats.Β

Huzzah for trying a few new things in painting like coloring styles >w<Β
Uhh hun wouldn't recommend pulling his tail
Originally i had them just blank but after a look over of the finished image i felt like having some grey lines to express text or images fit better then just blank paper π: 0 β©: 1
It turned out really well ^^ I'm always trying out different effects and styles I find its a great way to improve ^W^
I can't help iiiiiiiiiit |D
nice ^^ it certainly feels more realistic ^^

Actually 10 I was playing around with a coloring style similar to yours XDD
Β the way the red lighting was done was inspired by some of your pieces ovo~
π: 0 β©: 1
i'm flattered~ ....although i actually did think that.. "messy painting? that's me!" 
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, well messing paintings are definitely quite Β a bit of fun to play around with especially with the color blending >v>~
Well Its true ovo! I have wanted for awhile to try an painting like style of coloring. And figured why not after browsing through your gallery the other night. So taa daa you have inspired me~ Β
π: 0 β©: 1
that's so sweet truth be told, i despise using it, more often than not, but i just can't color any other way...
π: 0 β©: 1
Really nows? >->
Why not try cell shading? ovo its much simpler ;D I think you would like it quite a bit!
π: 0 β©: 1
no idea what that is, or how to do it either
π: 0 β©: 1
Cell shading is the usual type of coloring i do for my blood sport ovo Kinda like a simpler coloring.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
aah the..... clean lined shadows? i used to do that a lot when i was just starting SAI..Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeps thats just the one ;D I kinda do a mix of mixed colors and cell shaded XDΒ
π: 0 β©: 1
