Ascender- Coloring Test (Helm's Comic) WARNING: BIG PICTURE

[deadsuperhero]

Well, I saw Helm's airplane comic, and was very impressed with it. I wanted to do a colored version, just to see how it would turn out, and I'm very proud of the result.



It's not quite done yet, but I've been working at it for a few days with a totally new technique (new to me, that is)
Anyway, what do you think?

I would be proud as well, but I think that the colours are a bit to contrasted... In my mind Helm' s World is not that bright... Have in mind his sprites.

Maybe there' s no need to have in mind the feelings of the "inker" when coloring, but that might help...

I'd finish colouring it how it is, then you can mess around with changing the colours by putting overlays or something over it.

I'd go with what markbilly said. You can get some decent results from that method:

These were rushed, but with some extra effort it might turn out better. Nice job so far, anyhow.

I like those... Something like that would work really well. It certainly adds a whole lot more atmosphere.

I think all versions are done well, but HillBilly's two are my favourite. The technique you have used is very good though - perhaps just de-saturate your pallete a little - or of course use the overlay thingies.
