RIVOLUTION In reply to Zhone14 [2006-03-25 08:17:47 +0000 UTC]

i just duplicated the line art, masked off the lines i wanted to be a diffrent color, and changed the lines colors through the 'Color Overlay' in Layer Styles.

I added some extra lightning around his chestplate that wasn't orginally there too. its just a solid white lines with the layer style set to "outerglow.' You can fiddle with the outer glow color and size to get the desired look.

hope that helps

much credit goes to Gabe for doing the lines. He's way more of a Thor fan then i am, and he'd been asking me to color it for awhile.
Sorry bout the pants too, the dry cleaning bills on me

Oh Shit, Nick when did you put this up? I was wondering when it was going to be finished. Looks great man. Oh and I see you went with the vortex thing in the back like you said very cool.

Don't cheat your self dude, I have yet to see you punk out on any project. If anything I should take a page out of your book, and start nukaling down on my stuff and stop pussy footing around.

thanks, mario.

i don't know what to say bout the lines, i didn't draw them.
I noticed that it looks kind of mucky in regular view, perhaps it looks a bit better in fullview?

dmario In reply to RIVOLUTION [2006-03-13 07:31:24 +0000 UTC]

nah its just that maybe a different coloring technique, the colors are solid, its just that try adding color to the lineart in the right places

Lineart is always fun to do. lol I barely do it now, though. I'm just now getting back into art.

But the coloring style is GREAT! Keep it up.

RIVOLUTION In reply to Thievius-Raccoonus [2006-03-13 07:05:33 +0000 UTC]

its pretty easy to get lost in doing colors. I been mostly practing inking and penciling though. . . i wish my lines were a little more up to speed with my coloring, but it'll all eventually come together.

Gabe's had TONS more expirince with inking then me though. . .and he's not afraid to ink with dip pens like me

Thievius-Raccoonus In reply to RIVOLUTION [2006-03-13 07:07:59 +0000 UTC]

I see LOL. Welp, practice makes perfect! *thumbs up*

And hey--coloring is much MUCH more harder than inking.

true, true.
to each it's own. . .i always have trouble with inking cause my hand shakes waaaay to much. at least with photoshop i got the good ol' CTRL + Z!

I forget what it's called myself, but it's a mouse that well.. looks like a drawing pen.

Really useful. I need one.

And hand-inking is very rough. I'd rather do digital anyday.

you wouldn't be talking about a wacom pen would you? :

i got one of those. there pretty cool.

id like to find something that help my hand feel a lil more at ease with traditional inking. but i guess that just takes practice like you said
