Description Traced with Illustrator, here we have Colossus...looming, I might add. I made the X logo myself, but traced out the Colossus logo from a comic entitled Bloodline. I think I like this taller picture, it feels like a poster! I just hope that the metal highlight seperations look alright. I didn't plan ahead and had to fill that in at the end...which was time consuming to fix, but worth it I believe. My favorite part of this picture, however, is his fist! It tells me, come get some!!!

Have I told you how awesome you are lately? Send him my way, and I'd be more than glad to color him! I am wanting to know how you got all the little white lines on his suit. That's not a stoke 'cuz it doesn't wrap all the way around the black lines. How'd you do it?!

Thanks! I'll be sure to send it tomorrow, I can't wait to get this one colored! The tedious process was making the lines that wrap around his body, then making the shapes for the black shadows, then cutting away the lines for the metal to show light glaring off of the metal, then making a new layer, taking the newly cut lines and cpying them twice, joining them all together then putting them on top of the black shadows and subtracting them away. In turn I kept my original lines and had shapes with holes to look like highlights under them! Except for working out that exact process, I was done with it yesterday... oh well, all's well that ends well!

Luckily, it sounded way worse than it was. When I joined all the lines I just had to join two points not make the whole thing a closed shape.

Nah, just gotta know how to work your way around the program~! Illustrator is my bread and butter after all.
