Title: Colouring feedback please
Post by: Dan Kelly on 16 September, 2004, 03:53:31 AM
Being bored tonight, and looking through the board I decided to improve my photoshop and tablet skills by having a go at inking PJs Alan and John sketch...

Any feedback from those better at these things than I would be appreciated...

That was obviously the wrong webfu (but was a nice Charlie Adlard zombie, if you followed the link)

This was what I was trying to do (I hope)

This style of colouring probably suits the cartoonish style, although it still feels a bit "flat" to me.

I like it, the flat style suits the picture, and the actual colours you've used work well.

Hmm, bit of an ignoramus meself but reckon it would work better with a more diverse range of colour.

Bump this up for the morning...

Thanks for what's already been said.  Thought that flat would work - also not skilled enough for decent shading.

Any more feedback?

I liked it, reckon someone should do a strip of it for the website.

It's very good indeed!

I second the call for a comic strip, but feel they ought to be wearing comedy Scotsman hats, like Kenny Who? :-)

Dan, thats nice. The style you've used suits the strip perfectly.

I too would like to see this produced as a strip, but I'm waaay too busy at the mo.

PJ could do it in his sleep though.......

So people like then...

Was thinking perhaps sticking it on a t-shirt for Shed/Dreddcon.  Would need to speak to PJ first though as it's his original...

Might want to wear a jacket over it so you can zip it up whenever Wagner walks past!
