Awsome .. this is very good work ...

But maibe still in halph ...

I got a trick for ya to finish with more quality it ...


When yu got works with this "aspect" and yu realize that they are done and thers not much to do or you will screw it ...

Well there is a way to continue it ...

Duplicate the image so yu have 2 layers
Desaturate the image below to grayscale ...
Then work in grayscale just with black & withes very softly ... painting with very low opacity ...

ya can and should use both aplications for that
Painter x and photoshop cs4 ..

hummm...
Yu with that can also use texture matization in grayscale also ...

Then in painter you aply the "older" duplicated layer with color information as a "colorize" layer above ... the new improved grayscale information "more valued and detailed base
But then still with the same color

Then after that ... yu can continue painting with again very low grades of opacity and texturing in photoshop to finish it !

And with that tecnique yu can .. do things like this ..

Check it out ! - [link]

look at all the guy website for all the making offs of him .. in the step by step

u se ethem here [link]


Then again dont take me wrong...

But yu see myself wasting of my precious professional live time to go after yu and tell yu things like this...

Is because i do trully believe that yu with the same grade of tecnique and knoledge ...
( just with that ) ...

Yu can achieve things as good as the man there ...
[link]


Yu just need to take your art "more serious efforted " ...

On the again... classic methods of it...

I will passbie again near christmas or next year to see ho wmuch you evoluted with my lil tips and ear pushings ..


HAVE BUNCH Of fun dude...

And ho ho ho ...

Bie !

the series is great, i will happy to have it back This is impressive color work, so is the rest of your galley! I've tried some coloring, it;s not good haha, i'm kinda computer dumb, but i figure it's a good skill to learn to some extent being an inker, if nothing else so i can know how to make things easier on the colorist with my inks.

Beautiful and great work!
I really like the design. The balance of curves and straight lines is quite pleasant.
The colors make it look so good and I really like the composition.
And lighting gives it an incredible personality!
Looks great
