Description Wowowowowowow....this was alotta work LOL but damn I'm glad I took the whole month to do it and really refine it.

This is definately one of those pieces that I can say has changed me as an artist and colourist. I've learnt so much just from this one piece. I've never attempted a piece of this magnetude and complexity before but what a rush to finally get it done . So yeah, before I forget, this is my entry to [link] Mark Brook's Age of Apocalypse Compo [link] Basically colouring in his lineart and then other peeps can vote who's is the best. So, if ya'll like mine then pleeeeeeease vote me meh dunno when the voting will be open so spose you'll have to keep an eye out on his page.

Have to say I'm esspecially proud of the background cos they've never been my strong point when colouring. Much more confident about them now and I'll have to try another big piece like this again.

But ya, Enjoy (Don't forget to fullview )

This was all done in Photoshop 5.5

I have to say this is one of the best pictures i've ever seen.

I mean, look at the scale, magnitude and the deliverance! This must have taken a phenomenal effort. I'm both jealous and in awe.

Well done sir.

Wow... You got everyone's look right...

Seriously, I'm impressed. Not only does it look damn good but it's accurate. I should know. I have the complete 41 issues of the AoA series. The 38 original X-Men comics, the Special guide "AoA: The Chosen" and the later published "Sinister Bloodlines" and "AoA: Origins" where Blink and Morph join the AoA X-Men.

You have created art.

Be proud.

tyzue [2006-06-12 00:05:01 +0000 UTC]

I think what i like best about this piece is that the lineart is not BLACK. It looks like you redid the entire thing (probably just made the lineart opacity lower), but it made this picture stand out above the others. It looks way smoother. The coloring is gorgeous, I dont understand how you kept this so clean and under control. It's a beautiful piece all together. Very nicely done.

Wow, seriously, CONGRATULATIONS!

I have been basically staring at this thing for the last ten minutes, taking in every detail of your coloring job. I'm thinking that my favorite tiny little nuance is the pink glowing effect around Magneto's platform. I freakin LOVE that. SO badass. It truly is a piece that you should be VERY proud of.

I am ridiculously jealous of your skills, but again, congratulations! You really deserve it. Nice work.
