Wow! I love how the brilliant color of the background brings out the earthy colors in her clothes. it also helps the red in the rope and on the belt stand out too. very well done!

Another coloring!  I love the blues you used for the background... and there's something about her eyes that I just adore.
Oh, and her name is Kaie Neria, not Naie. Though that is an interesting name...

Oops, so sorry. I'll go change her name right now.

I agree with the comments so far, BF--Kaie looks wonderful! The blue for the b/g looks great, and offers a lovely counterpoint to the touches of red in her costume. Love the way you did her boots, too--I'm really diggin' 'em, for some reason!  Very nice work!

TOJP: Thank you very much.
Handmaiden: First, once again sorry for messing up the name. I know how hard it is to come up with fresh names (at least for me) and to have them get screwed up is not cool. On the other hand, I'm really glad you liked the coloring and especially that you liked the detail I gave to the eyes. 
FF: Thank you for your comments. I still don't know how I feel about this technique. I'll have to try it a couple of more times and see what happens.

I was going to try the new technique with FF's new portrait of Ben, but it wasn't working with the red hair so I went back to my original style. And thank goodness because I love the way it turned out.

Woah!  And I'm glad you did it as well!
He looks awesome! Can I keep him?  
I esp love how you've colored his clothes. And the gloves are cool!  I want gloves like that!

This is soooo beautiful, Sara! I love the monochrome palette you used on his clothing--it's perfect for the mood--and the teal colors for the background are gorgeous against that red hair. Just beautiful--none of the emotional impact was sacrificed here--it's a fabulous job! And I hope you get good grades on your papers! Thank you again!!

Chilla: Haha, thanks so much. I'm glad you like him enough to want to keep him.
Deb: Thanks so much. I went with the monochrome palette because of his work with the GAG. And I don't know if there are teal colors on Ziost, but it's what I thought would look best.
Minela requested that I color the picture of her OC with Vader that FF drew. I did it with my new (on the left) and old (on the right) technique. You can tell me which one you like better and why.

AAACK!! I can't choose!!  The "new technique" picks up a lot more detail on Vader's armor, thus defining him well, but the "old technique" is so soft and lovely on Naimah's face... I think I'd have to choose the "new technique" piece, because the sharpness lends itself to the mood of the piece a bit more (...though I do love the way Naimah's face looks in the "old technique" piece...)... I'm sure Minela will be delighted with both (and will probably have trouble making the choice herself! ). On the detail side, I love how you handled the torn wiring in Vader's arm, and the colors on his chestplate; I think, too, that you made a substantial improvement in the look of his helmet/mask--giving it more depth and volume--great job; the lightsaber really looks like his, too. Beautiful work on both of these, BF--just out of curiosity, how long does it take you to complete something like this...? They look like a lot of work... Most excellent!

Don't worry, Deb, I couldn't really decide either. They both have their own strength and weaknesses. The "old" one looks so soft because I have an obsession with using the Gaussian Blur effect on almost everything I Photoshop. I'm trying to cut back on it, but I love it too much.
As for how long, the way the different techniques work, I can really do them both at the same time. One layer is the color itself and the other layer is the original drawing to serve for definition because without it, it would just be blobs of color in the shape of the objects in the picture. It took me from the beginning of half time till just about when the game ended (Buckeyes vs. Georgetown--and my Bucks won!) to do them both. So, a little over an hour? Around there. The "old" one took a little longer because I added in layers with shadows and highlights. But really Photoshop does a lot of work for me and makes it look like it takes a while to do a coloring.

I like the on on the Left better. the hight lighting give the picture more depth. the backround on the right looks too dark. you can also see her tears better in the picture on the left. but well done on both.

Thanks, TOJP.
Used latest portrait done by the lovely FalconFan to procrastinate my paper writing duties of the day. This one is done by my new way of coloring in photoshop.
I also did my original technique of coloring, but don't like it as much. It's over here.

Simply Masterful! All of these pieces are really good, I really enjoy your coloring and I gotta agree that deciding between the two is dificult.

Absolutely gorgeous, BF!! I agree with you on this one--the newer technique fits the drawing better--you're able to retain more of the shading (and since my contrasts aren't as good in this one, they tended to fade quite a bit in the original technique piece...), and thus a bit more of the atmosphere. Good work, too, with all that detaily-stuff in the b/g! Must've taken a long time to paint in all those panels... Great, great job--and BIG hugs to you!
