Tita's drawing. My colors.
I didn't have to do much. So much black. I still don't know how to do blood right. It never looks good.

That is some pretty cool lineart. I like David Mack's Scarab. There are some other things you could have done since you said "I didn't have to do much." I probably would have went another direction with the shadow. Maybe add a secondary color to bring out some highlights on the suit. Add some more shineyness to the metal spikes. Maybe run a radial gradiant on the background to add emphasis to the mask appearing on the right.
As far as blood. Blood is thick, but it is transparent also. Add some gloss to it and when it is above other textures I suggest making it a multiply layer. The color you are using looks ok.
By they way here skin tones looks a little too yellow. You can also see your color strokes in the lineart, because the lineart is not a solid black. Eh.. this is longer than I thought.. oh well.. my $.02 |

Yah what chapel said. Btw, your shoelaces are untied.  Adding a few highlights in the hair would help a lot. For somer eason you have some kind of washed out grey color... that doesn't match with the black. Try to avoid using pue black. |

You can see the color stroke in the lineart? Are you talking about where she used crosshatching? I'd better check my settings.
The spikes are too dark and fuzzy.
Thanks.

Washed out grey? Huh?
The only black on there is lineart. The spikes are a grey and same with the sword.

That a really good idea Chapel. I hadn't thought of that.
I just tried to fix the black. Is it right now?
How come it looked fine to me, and no one mentioned it before?

I fixed some issues, I think.

I had intended to put the blood splatters on originally, but I forgot during the coloring.
