<div class="IPBDescription">Deunen's fantastic sketch being colored</div> Since Deunen graciously allows people to colour in his work for free, i thought i might have a crack at colouring it in! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
I've had 2-3 emails for people asking me to create a new topic for this since they dont want to always search around for the other thread i posted it in, so i'll stick it here.

***I will just re-upload the image to my webspace everytime i update the picture instead of making 1,000,000 posts, hope you like it so far..***

    I think you did a fantastic job. The colouring is great, but have you tried it with the lines of the actual drawing there as well?

    I mean, like so. I think it gives it more the same look as the Deunen ment it to have. The coloring is great and with the original lines it looks even better. (I think <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )

    (The original drawing is at 75% opacity and I erased a little around the mouth/jaw area)

    Hehe, in the end i will probably put the lines over the original and configure it around to make it look nice, thanks for the comments! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Fade needs to look more alive, and less plastic, which It appears is allready happening.
    Very very nice colouring in ^-^

    I think you need to add a bit more consistancy in the shading on the Fade's claw. While they are different materials entirely, the contrast is far too great, in my opinion at least. The Fade's skin looks extremely smooth while the "infestation" appears extremely coarse and harshly shaded.

    Isn't the Fade's skin scaled anyway?

    Also, i feel that the actual claw could do with a little work on making it appear more bone like, and making the infestation blend a little better.

    Fantabulous work so far though <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Thanks for the comment Esuna, you make a valid point there about the skin being too smooth, and the claw should be more bone like, i'll work on that definatly when i get home from school tomorrow, gunna goto bed now <yawn> Thanks again <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    its coming out amazing VM. once again i'm sorry the marine doesnt have alot of detail. I was thinking when you are completely done with the fade I could print it out and draw in the marine. Then just rescan and post. Unless you want to give it a go or you've aready started on the marine. Let me know!! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    ***UPDATE*** Ok! i BELIEVE i have finished the Fade now <laughs>, i've tried to make the claw look more "bone-like" and i've make the skin on the arm seem a bit more 'hard' and 'scaley', instaed of sm000th. I've also blended in the infestation a bit better on him.

    Now i get started on the marine! Thanks for all the encouragement so far, its great!
    I've had a few emails from people saying to turn it into a background if it ever gets complete!, i probably will, haha..

    Still looking great dude. Except another thing (i'm probably totally jumping the gun here). I think it'd look cool of the fade faded to black in the bottom right hand corner, make it seem like he "is" the darkness and he's bringing death. Stuff like that. Here's an example pic for the kind thing i'm talking about...

    Hmm, thanks for the idea, but i wanna put the body of the marine there though, it'd look better IMHO. =)

    **Small Update** Just added some small scratches and shading to the helmet, and some more shading on the face, coming along nice!

    esuna that is what I had in mind when I drew the pic. If you look at the whole thing <the little picture above this one in the original drawing.> I tried to capture a fade emerging from darkness and literally consuming the marine. But that was my thought then. Seeing what VM has done I am very eager to see how it comes out. Beautiful work VM.

    btw esuna did you get the email? if not I'll resend. I got a message from remo (commchair.com) and they seemed interested in my little project.

    Thats great! keep it up. I would love to see it finished.

    My only suggestion is to blend in the lines on the marine's face a teeny bit. They look abit too dark compared to the rest of the image.

    Heh, thanks! Didn't really pick that one out, i've now done that! thank you!
    Just lowered the opacity of those lines so they aren't as "black", just blend in a little smoother with the face now.
