Description Oh my, it's amazing what you find when you go through old computer files, isn't it? This is one such result. I must apologize to Mania for not posting it sooner. u__u;
Anyhoo, ~ManiaVampire asked me to color this for her a VERY long time ago. And when I finally finished, I forgot to submit. Aren't I so smart?

Yeah... I colored this with my colored pencils, but then took it into Photoshop to add some effects and gradients, so does that make it digital or traditional? Ah well. Everything was 100% pencil, then I went over the buildings and water to make them all the same blue tone, like the 'Birthmark' episode, hope it looks ok. >.> <.< Fiddled with the eyes and sky too. Dum de dum, hope Mania likes it alright, despite it's belatedness.
Go visit her and give her some attention.

Seriously? Wow, you have no idea how awesome it is to hear that. :3 I'm really trying to get back into the groove with my pencils, since I've had so many of these dumb Photoshop requests (and I can't even use PS very well >.> ). I'll be sure to keep this coloring style then, thanks a bunch!

Well, thats not to say I want you to stick solely to coloring with pencils. I mean, obviously from what I've seen and from how you talk, you're more comfortable with coloring by pencil, but I wouldn't completely rule out PS coloring either. Both have pros and cons. I think it's just a gradual style you have to ease into. Plus I thinks its a good idea for you as an artist to be at a balance where you feel comfortable with both styles.

raven-of-shadows In reply to BlueSerenity [2007-11-24 13:42:16 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes, I know what you mean. I meant stick with the style of traditional coloring I was using, since it looks much better than my previous methods. I completely agree with you, I do enjoy learning how to improve in both, but some things come more naturally than others of course. I'm getting much more comforatable with PS, it's just confusing sometimes, due to myself being computer illiterate. I do enjoy both though, and thank you kindly for the advice, it helps immensely.

Thanks so much, you have no idea how nice it is to hear that. I've been trying very hard to improve my traditional, since I've done PS stuff so much. I'll try to do some more, thanks again!

You're so very welcome!! Traditional work is harder than digital... so aim to practice more with traditional works! They're far more impressive ;D *only colors digital works* (XDDDD)

Duh, I'm so smart, I forgot to reply to this one properly. Anyway, I agree with you there. I like doing traditional, even if it's more time consuming then the digital.

Not really, it's not the great piccie it is without your lineart. I'm so glad you liked it though. I worked really hard too, remember you telling me to use everything I had? That's what I did, I used all my pencils, pens, and my Photoshop. I'm just so glad you liked it! Thanks a bunch for letting me color it!

raven-of-shadows In reply to KalmaHine [2007-11-11 09:44:50 +0000 UTC]

Why thank you. I'm sure you can color like that already, you just have to understand the program stuff. Photoshop was so confusing, and now that I understand it better, I've improved my stuff. There's always someone better, and I'm not that great in reality, but it's just fun to practice and try. Thanks again for you sweet comment Em.
