Chung said:Maybe it's just me, but he seems more correct now proportionally not only in terms of the arm
Thanks.Walter said:Great drawing
Yeh I was aware of that at the time. I was thinking of doing it by the manga covers, but I decided to use the anime colors as a reference instead mainly because I assumed people would recognize them better since the manga is B/W. If everyone would rather I go by the manga covers then that's fine, but I don't plan on re-doing this one of Guts any time soon.Walter said:but the official colors are quite different
Well, I was just bringing it to your attention. It's up to you what you base your colors on. But when I was coloring character entries for the Encyclopedia section, I personally wanted it to be as accurate as possible, so nerds like myself don't come crawling out of the woodwork to "correct" meBorgoff said:Thanks.Yeh I was aware of that at the time.

Griff's hair is tricky though. It's blonde in one shot, purple in others, but I think ultimately it's white with light-blue in shadows. Coloring armor is always difficult for me too, especially his. He's the White Hawk, but how to make "white" armor interesting? Anyway, you've caught me rambling. If the above Guts image is an indication of the quality of the others, it looks like you have everything under control. Good luck on the rest.Borgoff said:Yeh, that definately makes sense. Sticking with the manga is always what works. As far as colors go I just find it somewhat limited. But if I don't use the exact colors I'll atleast keep it in the same ballpark. Bazuzo and Griffith are pretty much fool-proof so that should keep the nerds at bay.

Nice job.Borgoff said:Here's an easier to view pic of the finished Guts battler I was working on.

Vaxillus said:Anyway, my one suggestion would be to darken the blood. In reality, it's more of a deep crimson than a bring red.
Borgoff said:I'm thinking of drawing Guts in Frank Miller's style of stuff. (Specifically Sin City. I might throw Marv in there too. ) That one I'll actually finish.
