Default Artwork by Renato Italo and Reiq

Last year I commissioned Renato Italo to draw a couple of pictures loosely based on my mesmer Sanra Sprinkleworth, and thanks to Reiq I've now got these 2 drawings coloured.

First picture is the original artwork by Renato, the other is by Reiq.


Although I personally don't like the colour scheme it got, Reiq's version looks very good. Once I get my head around photoshop I'll see if I can some of those colours tweaked. The face looks especially good on Reiq's version.

First picture by Renato. Second by Reiq:

Uncensored versions: Renato - Reiq (WARNING: These contains nudity)

The outfit came out great on Reiq's version, but the picture overall lacks the consistency of the original artwork, and I think that when I requested him to fix the proportions of the hips that just created new proportion problems.

Links to Renato's and Reiq's official galleries:
Renato Italo (warning, some nudity in his gallery)
Reiq (warning, while there's not any nudity here unless you sign up, most of his artwork is quite risque)

As the old saying goes, "I don't know art, but I know what I like" and I really like that first one. The second one could almost be any comic book superheroin, but the first is nothing but mesmer. Very nice.

If you're shocked to see nudity on a link warning about nudity you should take more care next time.

Yeah, looks a bit like Jolie. The face became rather different compared to her look ingame, but I really can't complain considering how stunning it looks.

You have good taste in artists >_> I have a ton of Reiq's work on my deviant favorites :P

I'd be happy to give the first REIQ image a re-colour in photoshop if you want. If you can get hold of the original PSD file, that'd give you a better quality image, or even a higher res image. But if neither of those are available, I could still have a bash at redoing the one posted here

Of course, you'd need to actually give me a little help in regards to the actual colour scheme, but the joy of photoshop, is that it could be played around with after the fact.

Oh, I'd be willing to marry you if you help me out! And yush, I do have the original PSD file to work with. Do you have something like ICQ or MSN so we can work out the details?

Too far out of my own price range, but very nice.

Well, to be perfectly honest I thought that even the uncensored version is still rather tame. It's just "bush" really and nudes are technically part of art, it's not distasteful or even offensive. (at least not for me) You should see some of the sketches I've... uh.. nevermind...

Anyways, yah, they are rather pricey but artists have to eat too, and there are many starving artists out there (me included )

Artist, eh? Care to show some samples? [PM so as not to derail Sectus' marvelous thread.]

Many thanks to Grey Fox I've been able to tweak the colours of the first picture.

Here's the result:



The first 4 recolours are by Grey Fox, the others by me.

Sectus, did you use photohop to alter the colors or did you have a clean lineart to work with and re-did them entirely?

I like the red and green combo the best, it somehow matches her "personality", but that's just me.

I used photoshop to alter the colours. No way would I be able to do the coluors from scratch to change them, I'd grow wings before I'd be able to do anything like that.

holy carp that's expensive

very nice art indeed, I'd think about it for 50 bucks but 150 for a character and full background is a bit steep for me.

very nice work again
