I love this page - this is coloring I really appreciate! I often work with my colorists to reduce their saturation and, more importantly, have the backgrounds be part of the work, but not *dominate* the work. The characters need to take the center stage in comic art (imo). This page is an outstanding example of how it should be done, imo.

Thank you, Andrew!
Yeah, I usually have trouble with over saturation, but managed to tone it down for this piece as duller colors seemed to fit the mood well.
Thank you for the kind words!

Most colorists tell me I'm abnormal because I don't want the over saturation, so I guess it is normal to for really bright/bold/in your face colors. But colors like this page I think are much better at telling a story. I have always felt that over saturation is the colorist seeing "their" art, not telling the story the best way. But, take that with a grain of salt... apparently I'm "abnormal" haha.

Absolutely will. Katja Louhio does most of our colors now, but we will need another colorist more than likely here soon...just one problem...we can't afford much here at KING.

Totally understandable, Stacy. I pay, but I don't pay anywhere near what you're talent is worth.

Sweetie, I couldn't agree more with the previous comment, you are such an amazing talent, and I for one am not ashamed to say how much I envy that talent! One question though, do you use corel painter or photoshop for your work, or do you use some other program? I really am interested in painting and coloring but have no real place to start off at!
Fantastic work again my sweet sis!!

Thank you, my friend!
I use photoshop. I usually don't use any other program unless I need to ink an image then I often use Illustrator for that. I'm not very good at traditional inking, so I try to stick to digital. lol But yeah, for colors I only use Photoshop.
I didn't know you're interested in digital painting! That's wonderful! If you need a place to start there are some amazing tutorials here on DA (sometimes you have to dig a little through the crappy ones though lol) [link] as well as a ton of great coloring tutorials and digital painting tutorials on YouTube.
, , and are some of my favorite places to get great line art to color.
If you do some digital coloring please send me the link (I watch over 400 people so sometimes your art gets lost in my over-filled inbox lol - so a link would be awesome!). I totally want to see your coloring/digital painting.

Hey miss Stacy,
I am so happy for you. We have know each other a while and I have been able to follow your progress. I is so encouraging to see someone go after and get a chance to develop something that they enjoy. Its inspiring to others. You have gotten so good at this. You are one of the people I wait on and look forward to your next submission. Just keep up doing what you do, it's a beautiful talent to have. I guess I am a little jealous, just don't tell anyone.
Max

Awwwww, Thank you, Max! 
You have nothing to be jealous about though, your photo-manipulations are beautiful and I suck at manips. lol We all have things that we're strong at and stuff we're not so strong at.
Thanks again for the awesome feedback and wonderful words of encouragement! That really touched me!
