Thanks Bel! You're right of course. Abin should definitely look more like he's up to no good.

These are so cool (how do you guys draw so good, color well and manipulate pictures perfectly, whenever I do that it looks like poopoocaca?)
And to show I bear no ill will, I, too, shall bestow a gift...

Yikes! Abin singing probably would be no good! I didn't think of that when I was coloring it but that sceptre he's holding does kind of look like a microphone. And Terry, there are two things you really need to be able to color like I do. A decent photo editing program and lots of practice. MS Paint is okay for basic coloring, but it won't get you really good results because you can't use layers. Anything you color wipes out the stuff you're coloring on top of, so you can't color over lines without wiping out the lines, and you can't add shading and highlights over the colors because they'll wipe out the colors. There are a lot of good free editing programs available for download on the web, so if you're serious about being able to turn out good stuff you should look into a few of those. There are some links in the image editing thread that's highlighted in this forum. The program you're using and the options it offers really do have a lot to do with how well your stuff turns out. The rest is just experience and learning *how* to do what you want to do.

Lou, can I be cheeky and ask you to colour the picture Keith drew for me of Dak Sacchev in the Leg 35C bios and pictures thread?
If that's too much hassle forget it, but I had to ask

Nice pic, but (you knew that was coming ) what's up with Vi's costume? If that's her original (postboot) suit, the stripe should be light, including the whole above-the belt torso except the black V, and if it's her LeViathan suit, the dark leg stripe should end in a ^ touching the bottom of the V. And if it was deliberate, sorry about this Oh, and why is Zoƫ blushing?

That'll teach me not to go on memory! It was intended to be the later version of the costume (which I like better) when I was coloring it, but since the upwards arrow above the belt wasn't apparent in the sketch I forgot about it and didn't add it in. Although now that you bring it up it the earlier version with the light middle stripe would be more consistent with the shyness apparent in her stance and the costume that Zoe is wearing there, wouldn't it? Ah well, I still have to full Photoshop file for that pic saved, so I can always go back and retouch it to make it more accurate. And I'm not sure if Zoe is blushing, or just flushed with excitement about whatever she's contemplating doing with (to?) young Violet.

I can give it a shot. Like I told Abin earlier I still have some projects hanging that I need to finish up, but I should be able to work one more in. I'm a little ashamed to admit that I haven't read too much of the stories featuring this character, so I don't know anything about him. He looks alien to me. Could you give me some idea of how you'd like him to be colored? What's his skin tone, what color are his clothes, etc. Just something to get me headed in the right direction.

Actually, in that sense, either of them are accurate - for Vi to be around and Kinetix to not be a cat but wearing the skirt, it has to be them from between Legionnaires #52 (where she temporarily reverted to a darker version of her original suit, before switching to the no-lilac suit in #53), and Lgs #57, where Zoƫ goes off to the anomoly. Looking at the Original B&W version tho, Moy shaded the (black) V, but not the stripe. And doesn't draw the ^ in. Which makes it pretty clear that it was intended to be the earlier suit Good news though - either way, she should have the green streak in her hair Originally posted by Loser Lad: And I'm not sure if Zoe is blushing, or just flushed with excitement about whatever she's contemplating doing with (to?) young Violet. Good grife... Let's face it, her face is red with blushing

Hey, Lou I found this sketch online and the artist had titled her Misty. Seems like destiny that she should be colorized for moi. I'd be interested to see what colors you would choose for me. <font size="6"> </font s> This is a cool sketch of Aquaman, Firestorm, and the Martian Manhunter by the same artist. I included it just in case you'd like it and want to color it. And this is a Power Girl by the same artist. She's already been colorized and I'm wondering if you can alter the colors. I'm completely out of my depth in asking this, so you tell me if it's possible to alter her costume's color scheme to less Power Girl and more "Misty." I love that she has brown hair and wears glasses (me-like). Plus, she has ginormous chest pillows (also me-like). Thank you for your consideration, Lou

Those are great Misty. I'll see what I can do with them. Do you know who the artist is that drew those?
Also, what do you have in mind when you say you want to make the colors more "Misty". Do you have a certain scheme in mind?

I totally put "Misty" in your hands, Lou. You have a great sense of color. Whatever best flatters her brown hair. I believe the artist's online name was Shade. I did absolutely love the colors of the UP arrow costume of Element Lad, though. But I'm not convinced they'd look as good with her brown hair. Bottom line: surprise me! And thanks!

Thanks Bel. I was going to eliminate the background, but I decided I liked it better against the yellowed page. Like he was climbing out of the pages of some ancient tome. And here he is again on a plain white background, just in case you wanted to see it that way.
