Lol, another belated comment, I know, but I've always loved this because I thought the style of the lineart you selected was such a PERFECT fit for your coloring style, especially the loud colors you used here. The extreme contrasts and your knack for blending/gradiating color beautifully works SOOOO well with this femmy, mystical fantasy style for me...Supah nice work!

Why thank you! I enjoyed this, and I still want to learn more about subtle/detailed layers of color for shading.

Thank you!! I love the art, especially the fire chick. The ice was harder because I didn't just want to do white/silver or blue. I'm not totally happy with it, but I definitely enjoyed coloring this!

Very nice!!! I like that there are two different light sources one for each girl....makes the colors more interesting.

virtualpapercut In reply to D4rkD4wn [2011-03-20 19:32:56 +0000 UTC]

I kind of envisioned a source down the middle, which makes little sense, but when I shaded them both from one angle it flattened them too much. That is also partly my inexperience, of course. Glad you like it!!
