Description My entry for the Coloring Contest at

So, this is the finished version after and . No need to mention it took me AGESQ__Q I am really, REALLY lucky the contest had its deadline extended in one more day on dear;_; Well, at least is here.;w;

It was really hard to color everything (the detailing on this is INSANE) so I abused textures. 50+ layers. 'nough said.

But it was fun at the same time, I learned a lot coloring it, and now I understand Sai and even Photoshop a lot better. I tried a lot of different brushes and coloring techniques and such. It was fun~

To you, *ravenlael , I bown down to you. WHAT A WORK, my friend.

I hope you'll like! And wish me luck at the contest, people!

Steampunk Angel Lineart belongs to *ravenlael
Time: +- 35 hours, 1 month
Tools: (Coloring only) Photoshop CS2, Paint Tool Sai + Credit for the fantastic textures: `cloaks , *joannastar-stock ,~my-dark-desire , ~create-stock , *meisan , ~contractcat and !Lady-Timeless-STOCK - THANK YOU!

It looks like you spent quite a bit of time, I have to say. o.O

I like how the wings are in bolder colours whilst the background is in paler shades, like.. I do feel it's a bit too much and yet it also feels... It fits, in a sense.

I think it's awesome how you've colour co-ordinated it, anyway. There's a good amount of depth there. My favourite colours are the blue... and I think it's quite cool how there are some places that sparkle a bit more.

VelCake In reply to 3wyl [2011-05-06 01:03:21 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I kinda tried to balance it.:'D

Thanks I knew you'd like blue more. Always blue for you.

You're welcome

And I knew that you did not draw the line art (I'd know that cause you credited the person who made the lineart and YES I read the descriptions )

VelCake In reply to LarianTheAngelTheII [2011-05-04 03:11:12 +0000 UTC]

I am sorry. It is just that sometimes I assume through the comment the person made they thought I drew that. I wished.

Simple gorgeous! one of your best, I think. Beautiful work. The details in the clockwork, the cogs and such, is simple amazing! You've done a stellar job, Gwen! Especially those wings... really, really, really well done. An amazing work. Pleasure to view. Love her shoes! Her outfit is totally kickin' - very jealous of her wardrobe. :3 Gorgeous, bright, and yummy, yummy, yummy to look at! Have a cookie: and maybe even a fave. (DEFINITELY a fave.)

Belle332 In reply to VelCake [2011-05-02 09:40:38 +0000 UTC]

Ah! Right. I hate it when I do that! I always feel so mean! I need to pay more attention to artists comments!
I literally just complimented the lineart. -_-; Sorry,sorry! Well, let's try that again, shall we? Without me being a total douche!
FROM THE BEGINNING!

Beautiful use of textures and stock! Is that an old paper texture used in the clock? Looks brill. Really love the use of textures in the clock work to the left - looks ethereal, like it's a night sky. As if time encompasses everything. Probably looking too far into it - but it looks great nonetheless! The soft background is lovely - the whole scene looks floating! The way you coloured her wings and her clothes is still totally fab - and I wouldn't be jealous of her wardrobe if it was just black! Your love of colour makes my day far, far, far brighter! You get a cookie and I get a for not reading the description.
