..An impromptu one, that is
Alright, if you followed me on Patreon (become one of the patrons if you haven't! There's a WIP post for this very pic! click here ) I've stated that I'm in a high mood to do stuffs featuring the Astrogirls suit from the Xbox 360 Game The Idolmaster: Live 4 You! lately after quite a long time, and this one is one of it. Heck it is most likely that my next stuff, which is back to a full-fledged drawing, will feature that suit as well! But for now we have this one for starters. This time though, instead of featuring characters from the Idolmaster franchise itself, we have from left to right Sakura Kinomoto, Syaoran Li and Tomoyo Daidouji from Cardcaptor Sakura anime and manga series, also the first one after quite a time. Started off as a secret, personal project really to warm myself up before going back to drawing, but then I asked if he ever planned to do a coloring commission to me, and this one line art, done by , is one of them. And then I revealed to MGM that I have actually already working on it, and I asked politely if he would like to pay, and he did, making this pic his first coloring commission he asked me to do
Previously, this line art have also colored by , also commissioned by MGM. You can check for his version of coloring, where he also have a bit of a story for it, linked right here as well as the alternative, darker version right here . The latter made after my advice, and I haven't really figured out how to do dark room scenes properly back then.
You might wonder, wait, Syaoran, a boy, in the Astrogirls suit? That kind of defeats the name's purpose? Well frankly and technically, The suit isn't really that feminine. With how kind of bulky the suit is, Like Sakura, or should refer to him as TSS, mentioned in his take, is pretty much unisex despite the name, so male characters can fit into the suit just fine. And given that these three characters here are kids, the proportion and shape for the suit is pretty much similar, so there's not really any reason why only teenage girls can wear it. We all just got used to the name,
Talking about the process a little bit. Before and in between the coloring process, I actually made some modifications to the line art, first being the badges and the nametags, which like the previous Astrogirl colorings I did like this one , got replaced by a proper logos and fonts over the ones written in Arial Black font the original line art used, but this time I went extra mile. The fonts I used for the name tag is UD Digi Kyokasho, which is one of the fonts commonly used for needed Latin portion of a Japanese writing. And specially for Syaoran's nametag, I went with the Romanized Mandarin spelling for it, because I just feel like too :v (and this was done before I revealed this to MGM BTW). I also made some more changes to the line art, like adding the missing lines in some parts, like on Syaoran's DCM, replacing Tomoyo's mouth to the one similar to Sakura's version, and rather vitally, Syaoran's back hair. It was missing on the original line art, making his head looked kind of flat on the back XD. I also improved the outlines for the helmet's visor, and finally, removed some unnecessary lines on the pose. Finally a coloring itself. I put the shading in the same way as one of my previous pics like MGM's Carter inside a shipwreck (which you can check right here ), and for Syaoran's Rashinban compass, I was originally thinking of using a clip art, but then I found out that I could put colors under the original one just fine, except for some kanjis on it which is still made after tracing a random CCS Rashinban image. For the beam on it though, I wanted to follow the same style TSSdid, but didn't managed to do so, until I found out that in CorelDRAW, there's an "Add" option in the dropdown for the transparency tool which is actually increased the contrast and brightness of the image under the object, which I found useful, so I applied it to the beam, as well as the lights on each of the three's DCM and helmet light, and their visors, to amplify the color of their faces. And the result is pretty satisfying. always glad to find another functions that could improve the result.
In the end, I liked how well the coloring goes
Thank you for the order, , And I hope you guys liked it as well
