it is so cool when someone does something nice like this. And you could not have done it for a nicer person than Teri!
Her characters are great, and you did a really good job in giving the image a lot more kick. Well done!

While she is a great character, I always hate seeing her because that means the real ock is dead.

Nice color job! Very Kirby-esque! What do you use for pens (forgive me if I've asked before; senior moment)?

Thanks!
All drawings are colored digitally in Photoshop CS3, using a Wacom Bamboo Fun drawing tablet. I started coloring 3 months ago, so I'm still learning.

Hmm...people here keep crowing about Photoshop; I wonder if I should look at getting into that again, but the last time we did, it took over the computer COMPLETELY, so I'm a little gun-shy of it.

I don't have a steady hand, so coloring manually is going to be a disaster.

I think I could do okay coloring by hand, if I had better materials. Right now, my best pens are a bunch of different color Sharpies permanent markers, and they bleed all over everything that isn't like super-glossy coated paper.
I've been using Neopaint for some coloring, and that's not bad; the main issue I have is dealing with the "fuzz" one often gets using JPeGs, even line art ones. Can Photoshop help with that, or am I doomed to just reduce everything to monochrome bitmaps?

There are several filters that can filter out the fuzz, but you can also level out the drawing (no more greys, all black) and change it into a bitmap with 50% treshold (pure black & white) and then change it back, so that you color it.

Yep, monochrome bitmaps. They do ok, to a point; what I've been using now is MS Paint to reduce the palette down to maybe even 16-color, which still retains some of the detail that monochroming might remove, then open it in NeoPaint to do anything fancy.
