Just before Christmas BJ gave me a new pair of drawings to practice coloring with, I've been thinking about ditching
the method I was using before, and this is the result. Personally I like it much better, I'm still struggling with making text bubble shapes look right, but it's getting better I think. I suppose I should add that the font used is just placeholder, and that the images aren't from our comic "Orishas" but rather from something BJ was working on a few years ago. Also I made up the script to match what goes on in the images... Stan Lee style!
(I'm just kidding Mr. Lee)
Also, I've been working hard on Jupiter Jonah, the script's coming along wonderfully, it's been a while since I've had so much fun writing and I hope it shows in the final product. I know I promised I'd have a synopsis for Orisha's by now, but I promise it's comin' real soon.
Oh yeah, and
Happy New Year everyone!

I think the color palette (especially for the skin tones) is beginning to look considerably better, however I think that the overall color treatment looks like a flashback sequence or something that isn't happening in real time. Is that the look you're going for?
Yup, this is the look for the most part, although I had no doubt it'll evolve before I get to actually coloring the book. The palette will also change depending on the mood or time of day to reflect the atmosphere of the scene.
The colors are a lot less saturated now, which is nice. They remind me of some comic book covers that use subtle earth tones mixed with brighter colors... They pop, and you can see them a mile away!

Keep at it!
oooo!Much better color! I am a sucker for contrast though. I felt the craving for some nice dark darks. DARKS I say!!! But, the color is so pleasant to look at. I had the same feeling as Shof, like this was a memory. So good job on that one, chump.
