Awesomesauce. Glad you liked it :3

Ravenhawk · Nov 03, 2010, 11:49 PM // 23:49

I really do! In fact, I am working on it right now

Would you upload it in your DA page by any chance ? (even in scrapbook) so I can link the thumbnail when I post the colored version in my DA page?

Vulpes Rex · Nov 04, 2010, 12:29 AM // 00:29

Sure, I'll go do that now.

Ravenhawk · Nov 04, 2010, 03:19 AM // 03:19

Here's the colored version. I am not sure if I am satisfied with the way I colored it. So don't be surprised if I re-do it >_<

Never saw this coloring style from you Raven.

Or maye it's because of the sketch.

Either way, looks well made on both sides.

Ravenhawk · Nov 04, 2010, 04:36 AM // 04:36

Thanks Hydra! I think the coloring I did is actually growing on me. I have it as my wallpaper now. lol.

About the style, I don't remember doing anything special in coloring but somehow it ended up looking different O_o. I noticed that my collab pieces usually tend to look different depending on the lineart.

Thanks Vulpes again! Ran rarely smiles but now that I think of it, I can totally imagine him pulling off something like this with Mina. And I love how Mina's expression is somewhere between "I am not impressed" and moderately amused lol. Totally suits the characters! =^_^=

Wow, what a gorgeous collaboration from the both of you!

Perynne · Nov 04, 2010, 07:30 AM // 07:30

Oooh, the lineart looks really good, and Raven's colouring is very very pretty. :3 I've noticed as well that colouring someone else's lineart tends to make your colouring technique look a bit different. I don't think it's a bad thing, it'll help improve colouring since you're working with something different as a base.

Ravenhawk · Nov 04, 2010, 01:41 PM // 13:41

Thanks Thisle and Perynne. I hope I did justice to Vulpes' stunning sketch.

@Perynne - That is so true. I actually worked on coloring this one longer than I expected. I tend to put dark shadows in my usual artwork. I did something like that with this one initially and I thought it didn't fit. So I reverted to lighter shading and I think it looks better that way. I actually learned that in this one - don't overdo the shadows lol. Less is more

So yeah it was a great experience.

Yeah, I used to do the really dark shadows too, but unless you're really trying to do a hiding in the shadows/it's really freaking dark in the setting kind of look, it will usually look MUCH better if you tone it down. :3

It looks good, I'm heading over to DA to fav it now. ^^

@everyone else: Thanks~ Raven did a great job.

Ravenhawk · Nov 04, 2010, 06:38 PM // 18:38

Glad you liked it Vulpes. ^______^

*nods* Noted! I am always glad to learn new stuff. Thanks again!

*sits happily and waits for more awesome artworks to be posted*

Oh, I thought I'd seen your style around, you had commissions a couple of years back. (Thanks Captain Obvious!)

Love the style (anatomy's really nice too), you have going on there; your ele portrait is gorgeous. :3

Vulpes Rex · Nov 05, 2010, 06:52 AM // 06:52

Yeah, I picked up playing GW again not too long ago~
Thank you! ≧‿≦

Perynne · Nov 05, 2010, 07:05 AM // 07:05

Seems to be a recurring theme around here...

Play GW for a while, post art in Nolani. Take a break from GW for an indeterminate amount of time and disappear from the forums. Make a comeback to GW, with Nolani following very close behind. Just can't seem to be able to separate the two!

Vulpes Rex · Nov 05, 2010, 06:47 PM // 18:47

Haven't done enough snooping around other threads, but that certainly seems true for me. xD;;

Firebrazer · Nov 08, 2010, 12:30 PM // 12:30

Loving your work

I'm probably gonna get a commish done of my ele once I'm done with my Tormented Collection :P
