I took a vacation from my computer and when I return stuff has gone down. Well, I'm not going anywhere and panic is not in my book, plus getting the original artist's permission to repost on a different page is too bothersome. So once this website goes down for good (which it probably don't.) All of the coloring I made will gone for good and life will continue regardless. Make what you will about this situation but as a colorist my hands are tied.

With help from my close friend again, my main computer is up and running with a brand new OS and Photoshop.

man, it feels good to be back in the saddle again.

right now I'm working on a private request and once I'm finished I'll start looking for a line art to do that 10000 view special!

Wow I never really expected that number to appear for quite a while.

Anyway I was meaning to do something special once I hit that number, but seeing that the main PC I'm using is junked that won't happen for quite a while.

Thanks to a close friend with needed backups I'm back to coloring at 80% capacity. now it's going to be awhile before I relearn most of my skills.

Oh ever since SPCGirls sank with the PALComix forum, I going to do some updates to the gallery.

Busy coloring and getting other things done so here's a video to pass the time.



and some music to tide you over.

and here too. http://www.solarobo.channel.or.jp/index.html

Happy holiday everyone! Sorry for the dead space for the last few months this poor computer had issues and thanks to several great guys at the spybot forums I'm back and better than ever!

I have an open door policy about requests, if you want a line art colored you know who to send the note!

just make sure the line art is relatively neat and provide a color key.

Being a colorist for a several years I stumble across several books which really help me out and some book more so than others.

Airbrush: The Complete Studio Handbook by Radu Vero
ISBN: 0823001695

This is the best book written even though its for an airbrush user; however it can easily transfer to a computer user.
A must get!

Color Harmony 2
ISBN: 1564960668

This book is a colorist's friend I'll never let it leave my sight it is perfect for finding what mood you want to achive!

How to Draw Manga: More about Pretty Gals
ISBN: 4766112423

This book made My life eaiser in coloring females and shading with textures.

The Watercolorist's Essential Notebook
ISBN: 0891349464

Sure it's not for a Photoshop user Per se but it contains very nice ideals for colorist's to utilize.

These books helped me in more ways than I could think of hopefully it can help you.
