Those are some really nice pencils you found to color though. I have trouble getting the colors to go over the pencils nicely without having it end up murky looking. Did you use layer effects or...

Two colors? You mean the left side having a yellow tint? It's from the secondary light source (the yellow highlights on her face) showing on her hair on that side.

Haven't been here in ages, but then again, I haven't colored anything in a long while either. So here's something I finished up today, a panel with Orihime from chapter 277.
...

Well, I didn't enter because as was already mentioned, it was a pretty small resolution that is also very, very detailed. I know we're supposed to be veteran colorists, but that shouldn't mean...

Waiting to hear about the changes planned and wow, I won the advanced for June? I really wasn't expecting that. There seemed to be a nice amount of votes overall for both contests.

Since I've been hating more and more on the original version of this piece that I posted in this thread, today I present a reworked and re-visioned version of my Sakura Haruno piece done last year. ...

The grey and white color scheme doesn't look bad at all. I think the lines could use some refining (they are all the same weight) and the shadows are pretty generic, but overall it's not bad.

Thanks for the comments and reviews, guys. Jaime, I'll have to go back in and check that line you're talking about and see if I can't fix the jagginess you see. After looking at these a while now,...

I like the first ones colors a bit more for the background, but the heavy shadowing on the upper right side is too much. Maybe if that were toned down it would look better. That plain grey...

So, finished coloring some lineart this weekend.

I present, the awesome Stark, from Bleach 361, pages 18-19.

More clarifying is all. So many people think that if you can't produce above average or excellent work yourself, you have no right to critique someone else who is better/worse. At first glance,...

My critique (as if anyone cares :eyeroll ):
As others have said, it's not your best, but you chose a difficult angle to light from. Most people do/did choose to have the light source coming from...

I agree with Sherlock, this is very cool looking. Nice use of textures to punch up the colors like that.

It's nice looking, but the colors just aren't right for an Espada. Any other kind of character, but the Espada have all had a white-with-lack-trim theme going on, and occasional accent colors. ...

Wow, excellent!

I kind of agree with Therhi though about how the collar bones are sticking out. It seems the shading is a bit too dark just there. The rest of the neck is fine to me.

Very nice, I love how your hair looks! Doesn't look much like a glare though :D

I'm back with a new fanart piece to show off for D.Gray-Man.

Inspector Howard Link (is all kinds of awesome, oh yes!)

The first one is gorgeous, but I actually like how you oversaturated the second photo. That shade of red for the bricks is wonderful and the black fire escape is almost blueish in contrast. ...

I like the shading on the face better in v2, but I prefer the skin tones in v1. Mostly because I just like Hitsugaya with paler skin tones I guess.

Nice job!

Thanks!

Googlez_kun, the background was something I threw together using some grunge brushes and pure luck, actually. I had no idea what to do (since he's leaning against a plain wall) so I...

Terrific! The automail is pure awesome! I don't think I've seen anyone try to make it look so realistic before.

The colorings themselves are nicely done, although the blue highlights in version 2 don't make any sense IMO (in version 1, they're fine though). I don't like the texture you used in the background...

Wow, really great! I love Ichigo (although I thought his eyes were yellow in mask form?) and Grimmjow looks good too. I don't care for that much red glow around the Getsuga Tenshou, but the...

Very nice! The soft shading is really well done, but it's almost too dark, IMO.

I like the colors, but the image seems very washed out with the white overlay (I'm guessing on it). It doesn't look as if Ishida is shooting from the outside through a hole in the wall.

Great...

Finally finished something else again. I found an old page coloring that I apparently started last April and decided to finish it.
...

New Bleach panel:

Also posted on my dA site, although it's the same size as here.

Found this panel while looking for...

Very nice! I really like how you did her hair. I thought Rangiku's eyes were more of a blueish-grey though and not amber/brown.

They are certainly interesting looking. Your color palettes lack any depth to them, by which I mean you are basically sticking to a few (overly bright, in a few cases) colors and then it looks as if...

Oh? I must have missed some official art somewhere, damn. Thought there wasn't anything out there but I guess I skimped on my research. Still, he doesn't seem like a blue-haired type to me.
...

I really like how you did this. It's definitely very symbolic and the coloring style is different but it works well with these panels. Nice job!

Thanks, RyuSensei. I sat down and cleaned up the lineart to get rid of the jpeg artifacts so that the lines would be as clean as possible (in fact, that probably took longer than the actual coloring...

Just started reading Fairy Tail recently and I really liked this page. This piece was really quick to do, although the background is typically bland (for me). I rather like how everything else...

I just noticed that you spelled it "hogake" on this and the other post you did here. It should be "hokage" right?

As for the lines, there seems to be some anatomy problems with the characters. ...

Wow, I really like the color palette you used for this. They look so rich and bright. Great job!

Really nice job! Have you tried just a simple gradient of blue shades (for the sky)? Otherwise, the bg you have now is nice as well, the faded abstract shapes look nice too.

It's not bad, but the eyes look really weird like you've got them. Even for the side characters, they look kind of painted on doll's eyes.

Good job! The eyes look really nice, although I thought Sasuke's eyes were grey?

I'll second the question about the jaggy lineart. That is really bad.

The coloring is pretty decent. Might want to give the cloaks a few highlights as well as some shadows, although that's not...

Okay. I'm not sure where the masculine part is coming from though. The pose reference I used was of a woman and I didn't particularly change anything from that.

Huh, you know, I just realized I...

So I finished a straight out fanart piece today - Sakura Haruno from Naruto. I had an awesome reference photo that I worked from and did the entire piece in about 5-6 hours. Not entirely happy with...

Nice job modernizing his outfit, that looks great!

Thanks!

I can see places where I would do something differently, especially since there's about 2 months between wen I started and when I finished, with almost no work done on the image in the...

Heh, commented on dA already, but I'll say it here as well. I really like how the hair turned out and loving the background, oddly enough. Simple yet it works well. Nice choice of colors, the...

Wow, I haven't posted anything here in ages. But then again, I haven't finished anything in ages either. Wonder if there's a connection... :blink

Pages 15-16 from Chapter 298, when Captains...

Very nice! I like the painterly style, but like Shindou, I don't care for how red the lips are. Maybe if that were toned down a bit, it wouldn't look so stark against her skin.

Do you color directly on the lineart itself or do you use layers? It seems as if you're coloring the lineart, which would account for the white spots inside some of the text. It looks like you've...

Very nice! I really like how you do your eyes.

Not bad. Those clouds are awesome, btw.

The only thing I can see that is off is Shikamaru's sleeves. Shouldn't they be black/dark instead of the same color as his flak jacket?

I had fun doing Orihime's hair actually. It was nice to work with something other than brown, black or white/grey for hair colors, that's why I went with such a rich orange.

For Stark, the...
