Description This is page 5 of my webcomic, Predator Turned Prey.

This is a sample of what those seeking to do the coloring will, in fact, be coloring. If you have image enlargement software, feel free to use it. Or turn the whole thing into a vector. Do whatever makes it easier on you.

Here are the specifics:

This comic is read with the panels going left, to right.

Characters:
Panel 1, Master Darrel. He's in his 40's and is in the middle between fat, and average. Too lazy to do much about it, but bothered just enough to make minimal effort to keep the weight off.

He is balding, but is at the point where his hair is just "thin" and he attempts to correct it.

He has medium Caucasian skin. He'd be Mariah according to this chart . Except he has a farmers tan, so his chest and arms are closer to Buff.

He has deep brown eyes.

His clothes, like him, are imposters. They want to look fancy, yet warn by someone who has no business in fancy clothes. He works for a living, and has need of clothes that don't easy tear. He'd be seen in cotton and wool, as well as leather. Sturdy materials. Pale, faded blue shirt. The idea is he at one time spent money on a good, deep blue shirt that has since stretched and faded, yet he is too cheap to just go buy another, so certain areas can be darker, or lighter.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Panel 4, starting at the far left is Victoria Lilith. Victoria is also in her forties, and slender.

She is of Asian heritage and is pale skinned, working hard (by not working at all) to keep her complexion fair, and yet often uses makeup to obtain rosy cheeks, and wears lipstick constantly (the color is never "striking" and always appears to have an attempt at looking natural).

Victoria has deep amber colored eyes.

She has on a deep green shawl and veil.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Panel 4, after Victoria is her husband Samuel Lilith. Samuel is in his 50's, and is also on the thinner side.

Samuel has the same skin color as Darrel, except it is a consistent color, the same Mariah tone all around.

All three characters have hair that's dark enough it can be left as-is, as can the black in their clothing. Samuel's tuxedo is black and white, so no coloring needs to be done for him.

His eyes are hidden here, but when seen, they are green. His hair is greying, but he dyes most of it a very deep brown, which will only be seen in future scenes, not here.

_________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, panel 3 and 5 have Hunter .

Hunter is the lead character in the story, which focuses around his life.

He is 12 in this scene, and has pale skin with a broken tan that's starting to fade (he lived outside for a few months, but hasn't seen the light of day in quite a few weeks, so his tan is fading.

His hair is dyed blonde, also starting to fade. this is a magnificent example of colors that can be used

His eyes are a bright, sapphire blue, and are slit like a domestic cats.

His outfit is grey, and he has a tin collar and chain around his neck.

And yes, in panel 3 he's totally asleep. He wakes up in panel 5 because it's never a good thing when Darrel brings people down there, it means he's getting yet another new home to try out, and he knows he's had enough that it's grating on his Master's last nerve.

I am not seeking realistic colors for this, as it is a manga. I love the shading and such has already done! We initially only considered printing this in black and white, but now that we're releasing it online, we want a colored version to offer at conventions.

The characters are in a dark hallway, walking to a cell kept underground.

I was going to release a few pages for people to color, but it just makes more sense to have it be the same one.
