I just recently found out about the Popgun book and I bought it online and it'll get it in th email tomorrow. I'm stoked. Plus now I just GOTTA find out why she has "balls" written on her forehead! Ha ha ha!

You did a great job on the coloring! I look forward to seeing your work on the whole story.

*collects*

Thanks! Actually, this pinup was my only contribution to the work. The story was by someone else.

I wouldn't say I'm *on* the book. I just colored one pin-up because Khary didn't have time on the first volume.

Yees he is but you did an amazing job over him. I would say by far you colored him better then anyone I have seen over his work other then him coloring his own work.

Great work!
Do you know why she has written "BALLS" on her forehead?

JohnRauch In reply to DasTenna [2008-01-05 00:24:16 +0000 UTC]

I *think* she fell asleep in class and had it written on her, but I'm not sure on that.

Wow, awesome!
Love the eyes on the bug creature.
Also great separation between the foreground character and the bug creatures behind her.

I do dig! Very cool! How do you do it?

JohnRauch In reply to ginmau [2008-01-02 16:05:59 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! My process is really, really simple. I just get a brush and put what I want on the page. The difficult part is just understanding color theory and how light works. Honestly, that part isn't difficult either, it just takes some studying and some trial and error.

Yeah, I know what you mean, sometimes I'm happier than other times, but slowly things are looking up, as for the painting with a brush, I gotta try that one of these days

oh wow, how do you mix with those color?, whats your color mood?

JohnRauch In reply to Reza-ilyasa [2008-01-02 16:04:29 +0000 UTC]

Normally, I color in Photoshop, but this one was done mostly in Painter. I just fill the canvas with a starting color, usually whatever my ambient/mood light will be, then I paint everything else into that.

That's great. I really dig the colour job... But man, you'd think she'd smell his breath at that proximity.
