I surely would like to know how you get the color to look like that.. ermm can you say tutorial

?? or pointers/tips, or url to sites that has one, that produce color like yours.

The coloring is awsome, kinda like comic book coloring (eg X-MEN) the design is great, Do you work for Marvel, because you should!

Thanks for the response and taking a look. Is there anything in particular your referring to in how that look is achieved? It'll probably be years before I put together a tutorial of any kind...but if there's anything in particular about the colors I could answer here, I'll try my best. Nope, I don't work for Marvel or any other company. I wish I could paid for coloring, but I don't have time to take on a book, and companies probably wouldn't hire unless you could do 5 pages a week or something...I still have years to go before worrying about that, but it'd be nice to get paid

wow, awesome picture.

i love the composition, and the scenery, great colors. I think the highlights are a bit to strong, especially because the light comes from the right side. I guess the labrador(i think it is supposed to be one ^^) sits in the guy's shaow, but I could be wrong.

Your style is really "marvelish", .. like it.

I thought I'd put this back up, because the pic didn't show on Jikyjacks thread, See you copied the colors of the flag.

Sorry, but this is the pic I remembered, Because it caught my eye, Yours is different, please dont hate me!

swany hmm DONT HAve anything against me but why does it matter if he copied the colour on the flag? I mean IT is an american flag soo anyone can colr it the same colour.. I dont know it would be like if i saw an artist colour grass green and then i would colour grass in one of my pics green...

Anyways whatever doesnt really matter i just thought you could have thought a bit before accusing... No hard feelings...

I love it quiet a bit, but I think you lost a bit on the guy's face. The origional sketch shows a lot more emotion on him, which I personaly like- But perhaps you were going a different route? Also the fade on his cheekbone should be an ounce more gradual.
