DynamicDragon's Original Characters Color Thread

pineappleherb · Aug 8, 2009

attention: all members of the forum are hereby ordered to choose one of (the many) DynamicDragon original characters posted on his deviantart (link- http://pokefreak.deviantart.com/gallery/) and color it

-- note: i havent talked to DD about this, but he'd have to be real lame to not want to see his (fantastic) characters with color splashed in

the point is to get everyone to try and use their creativity and imagination to come up with some good color combos instead of coloring the same old boring naruto panels every week

by all means, go crazy, make it look perfect if you want, im going to leave mine simple and instead focus on having fun

heres my first color into what (hopefully) becomes a thread full of original character colors

NOW... get to work!

(this isnt about taking credit and posting it everywhere on the internet for critique. its a FUN, RELAXED thread where people should post some cool lookin' stuff)

again, DONT do it for attention, do it to CONTRIBUTE to (what should become) a badass thread.

his drawings are far and above what most of us are cabale of doing, so if ANYONE gets credit, it's him

NOW get to work

here let me contribute a little more

I like how you colored these Pineappleherb, good job.

I probably can't do an amazing job coloring but I can use my base coloring skills and attempt to add shadows.

nah get the idea out of your head that you cant do an amazing job, that aint the point of the thread! anything will look fine, no need to go crazy.. but by all means add shadows, highlights, add a background if you're feelin' like it!

this is creativity in action! hahah

True, you can't go wrong with coloring Dynamic Dragon's art. At the same time, it's kind of nice to see something in just base colors. I guess it's just a nice change of pace for me.

wow....thanks very much pineappleherb for this awesome idea and thread
i really will color something when have a free time
hope DD won't be mad at us ))) but i think he will probably be happy about his drawings spreading all out the internet

nice colors, the line color goes well with the flats.

erm, my answer to this thread is that i dont mind. but please dont post this up on your DA account because that would be stealing since these were character commissions, and you'd need the commissioner's permission to post it on DA too ^^'

good luck everyone.

nah dude (hopefully) no one is doing it for credit and we're just keeping it in this thread

^___^

whoever changed the thread to [fanart], screw you change it to colors or something, this aint fanart
