beedoo!

Rockin' pick, Roundeye. This was a lot of fun to color. I just wish I had anywhere near your level of talent when it comes to form and value.

you are amazing...
how did u color the picture soo percisely?

do u use tablet?
i got mouse only..

please post some tutorial about how to color, i like ta learn
:-)

thanks

Not much to it, JD... I do have a wacom, but I could have done just as good a job with only a mouse. It would have taken a little longer, but having a tablet didn't really have any effect on the end result.

The most important thing, probably, is to work at a higher resolution than you're gonna post the image at. I scaled this picture up to 1500x2160 before working on it, then scaled it back down when I was ready to put it online.

Next thing, I'm using photoshop... So I made another layer above roundeye's b+w version, and set the blending mode to "color". That way I could play with the colors without affecting any of the work roundeye did.

Finally, it helps if you use a hard-edged brush with the paintbrush tool, with the opacity set at about 50%. You have a whole lot more control that way.

Hope this helps.

[edit]Oh, and gimbal, I really love your version! It has an awesome retro feel to the colors. Works great with the subject matter.

hey, that's bitchin.

Great job roundeye, I love her expression. The exagerated facial features really work well in this instance, magnifiying her mood.

Awsome

waylon · Posted: Tue Dec 18, 2001 9:43 pm

That looks cool, soulfuct! She looks goth.

I'm assuming that was your intent... if not, you might want to give her skin a little more color. She looks like the dead.

Soulfuct · Posted: Tue Dec 18, 2001 10:06 pm

Well thanx man....i wasnt making her gothic in particular no..i was just trying to make her a *spunky* cowgirl....all my other stuff is mainly gothic and dark and I don;t usually do stuff like this so um yep..i guess it shows

she can be the living dead if you say so :P

Nice work from everyone. Especially the author of thise fine lady.

Anyway, here's my rendition. My, that's a lot of mouse clicks.

Everyone went with the "cowgirl" look for her, but IMHO, those full leather gloves, the shoulder-strapped weapon belt and and the canister of tear gas (or is that a grenade?) along with the arm band says to me "Freuline". So I went with a bit of a German look. Green military clothing and auburn hair. Yup, definitely Austrian.

AfterShoxX · Posted: Sat Dec 22, 2001 1:17 am

Wow, nice.

but I think the right eye is a bit bigger than the left, or vice versa, vhatever you choose.

AAAAGH! I'm late, I know. But I couldn't resist when I saw the pic. This is near perfection. Love it! But as someone mentioned before me, her right (the viewers left) breast could use some more definition.. otherwise it's soooo good
