Lith's colors & tutorials

A billion years later and still all I have is a work in progress. :sad: Ah well. Advice welcomed! What color should our dear possibly-departed sea beastie be? How bout the soldiers' uniforms? And what kind of lighting (I should try to use LIGHTING, lol)?

And anyone got a preference for a page I should tackle from 310?

Looking good, Lith. I like the aqua blue that you're using for the ghost ship creature, so I wouldn't change that too much or at least try to go with similar colors. As for the soldiers, I think red and yellow would look kind of cool mixed in with the silver armor. As for tackling a page from 310, I'd love to see a colored picture of the one I'm using for my avatar (ulterior motive: to replace current scan with colored picture). :guts:

Awesome! Your colors are always very close to what I imagine them to be in my head. I might add some more specular to the beast; By that I mean extreme highlights, the thing just erupted from the water and it's going to be almost pure white where the water is dripping off. : ) I Love your work. Keep it up!

From green/brown to grey to red/orange, like a real octopus. You've got the choice. :slan:

Lith, I don't know if you plan on coloring anything from the latest episode, but if you do, may I request the colorization of the panel where Schierke squirts water out her nose onto Isidro's face? It's hilarious and cute.

Aws. Sure, I'll add those to my potential colors. :serpico:

Meantime, Death May Die and a few other colorists have inspired me to finally do a new photoshop tutorial. Sadly I didn't get too far tonight but to tide anyone over till I can get the rest up, here's a sample photoshop file (in progress) showing how I set up my colors lately. Right click n download.

It uses groups and clipping layers; most versions of photoshop should support them.

ETA: Tutorial now up! Right over here.

Awww I know I been slacking when I get a 100 days zombie thread warning when I post.

Anyway FINALLY finished those sea monsters!


And I realised I never actually put a link for the Scheirke Tentacles in this thread, so here's that.


Whoooo.... hurry up June 25! I wanna see 313! :beast:

Not happy with the bottom left panel but not sure how to fix it.. Ah well at least the boobies were fun :carcus:
