Full Moon Brew - Transformation Club Scene - Colored
Please leave comments!
I greatly appreciate your Watches and Favorites, but especially with the "Views" counter not working, please let me know what you think. Constructive critisizm appreciated!
=================================================
UPDATE! EDIT! 4/5/06
I've laid the original line-art lines over the colored pencils for some cleaner lines.
=================================================
Just a warning, I am excited that I finished this and I like it, but I'm still going to tare myself apart.
So, this is my attempt at coloring with colored pencils. I thought I'd give it a try, and realized just how inept I am at it.
I wish I had a larger color pallet. I used about 20 different colors in this piece, but I still don't feel like I explored the whole range well enough. Oh, well.
The scan really makes it look terrible, but what I was most upset at myself with was the crap/flakes/dust that junked up the surface. It's speckled with bits of Primsacolor pencil, and if I'm going to color anything again, I need to find out how not to get that, or how to deal with it better. *sigh*
Anyways, I printed this out onto card stock (with a decent tooth) and colored it so that the commissioner can at least still have the original.
I think this is just one more example of how I need to learn to color digitally and forget this real media crap.
Anyways, I like it, but I just don't like the flakes that showed up. Maybe with practice I'll learn some techniques or something.

I like it! Great crowd scene. It can get almost overwhelming espeically when it is time to color and you dont want to saturate it with any one color.
Great job at creating the scene and the backdrop. YOur strokes are a bit rought but no rougher than mine. digital makes it so easy to undo.

I thought it was marker too, until you mentioned it. Personally, I can't see any reason not to use real media outside of material costs. Though (with colored pencils especially), I'd go for more of a gradient rather than solid colors.
As a side note, I personally get very angry whenever I've tried using my tablet. I had it for six months, and I never liked how anything came out. I gave it to someone who could better use it, though he applies his real media style via the tablet. There's something to be said about the texture of the charcoals, the feel of a brush flowing across paper, the smell of fresh ink. Without this, I don't think I could live.
Then again, I might just be crazy.

Marker? Really?
Yeah, like I said, I'm still really new at colored pencils. I'm trying to learn how to lay one layer on the other (you can see how magnificent my blue floor looks, as well as some of the other "mixture" colors I tried to create with my limited pallet). The speckles of pencil are what make me nervous though... you try to wipe it off, and it imbeds itself. Ugh. But, yeah, I need to learn how to blend better.
I have a decent sized Wacom that I just don't use enough of... I still like my pen and paper, but when it comes to color, I just don't have the technique yet.

^.^ Thank you for noticing. There's probably a lot more that can't be seen on the 500 pixel tall version, but for now, I'm only uploading 500 pixel tall images both to retain some control over my artwork being "taken" for other uses out there, as well as not being given permission by the person who commissioned the piece to upload a larger version.
Again, thank you for the comment and interest. :)

It's probably the ecstacy, or that they're drunk.. or that they're used to it?
(Actually, there's one guy... by the right red dragon wing who seems to be the only one who gives a damn about his transformation. Maybe he's trying to figure otu what's going on?)

By the way... if you click the "reply" next to the message you're actually replying to, it'll continue the thread down so that it doesn't start a brand-new reply each time.
It'll be much more useful too when other folks reply after you... the "conversation" won't be lost.

A story? Hmmm. Not really. If I remember right, the commissioner asked for a transformation scene with a crowd of people at a party or club and all being transformed and this was what I came up with. I guess I kinda went with a "marketing advertisement" sort of image, but folks are free to imagine one if they'd like.
