I tried coloring it myself, but I'm still getting the hang of the new software, so it's not going very quick.

No worries, take your time.

 

@Flashtoo Congratz!

Sooo... this happend... 
Here's a link to the lineart, incase anyone wants to colour.

 

 

One more request left (doing 1 per person 😉)

That's awesome DD!

It has all the right elements (narrow heavy lidded eyes, arched and "peaked" eyebrows, ridged nose with

flared nostrils, hair tufted at the back with a couple loose curls up front, V notch in his goatee,

missing mustache etc etc) but combined in a new way that I have not seen before.

 

And the speed at which you are putting these out at suggests this is a relatively quick

and manageable style for you to work in... if that's the case THIS should be

the style you should offer your next round of commissions in.

 

I already want a whole set for all my main heroes in this style and considering how

many commissions I've bought in the last month that is saying a lot!

Went looking for DeeDee's reference sheet, but it seems to have gone missing. It might be worth your while to repost it (hint hint).

So happy you like it CR! 
I am actually considering doing a round of commissions in this style. I like this one too haha.
Can do one a day-ish now. I may wanna try colouring aswell, see where it goes and if I can include it as an option in a commission round 🙂 .
 

[Christopher Robin]

Save me a couple slots if you do.

[Darth Delicious]

Will do ^_^

It just occurred to me you might mean you were doing your own coloring and that you thought mine was finished?

Just to be clear I stopped far short of finished, those are meant to only be first pass colors.

Like the difference between this...

 

 

and this.

 

 

It's just there to help any colorists to get started. By all means if you want to color it from scratch

yourself, do so but if you want a head start use what I did as a base and go to town. That's why I did it.

Your "first pass colors" are already way better than I can do.

 

But yes, I am working on doing my own colors.

[Darth Delicious]

Dropping this in here 🙂
@_Kai_, hope you like this!



@ZemyaSoldat I can't wait to see your colours! (I realize this sounds odd when you don't know the context lol). 

[_Kai_]

Surprise art! Yes I like very much, thank you! 😄

Hopefully I have some more time to art soon and do some of these myself, or color!  

[Christopher Robin]

Gratz Kai!

*/e smiles* You know DD used to say stuff like that to me all the time, like I was

doing something magical that was beyond her... she can tell you what my answer always was.

 

So to that I will say thank you I was happy to do them and also poppycockbollux!

If you grabbed my PSD file you have already seen "behind the curtain"

but for those who have not allow me to spoil the illusion... ready?

 

Okay here are my super-amazo-fantasitcal-coloring-skillz™

on full display when I take away DD's lineart.

 

 

yep that's it. Not so magical now is it.

 

There are exactly 2 shades of yellow, 2 blue, 2 dark pink and 2 peach.

Flats are just that, flat. I think when you look at just the colors

it's apparent there is a lot more that could be done.

 

For starters pick a light source (overhead is most common) add a highlight where the light would

be hitting her hair, visor and lips. Then depending where the light is play up the shadows under her nose

lips, chin etc. The hair below her chin could get a cast shadow as well. Toss in a few different shades of blonde hair.

You get the idea.

 

Hopefully this will encourage more people to tinker and collaborate, it's a great way to learn.

Also if it will help I can post up a few more collabs I've been a part of in my

art thread so people can get some ideas what to do with flats.

True story!
CR actually had several answers, but... I'll stick with the one that really helped 😛 . (mind this  is not an exact quote)
"I couldn't have done the touch ups without your flats. You picked the colors, I just gave them a boost."

I think, what's also important is be open for feedback. Constructive feedback that is. It's the fastest way to learn if you ask me.
CR has an eye for details. And he kept pointing things out to me (still does 😛) by trying to make me see the "off parts" of a drawing too. 
It was an eye opener for sure and helped be become a better artist. 🙂

Also, learning the software sure helps indeed! 😄 Keep at it @ZemyaSoldat

[ZemyaSoldat]

So... as @Darth Delicious, everyone's favorite bubble-gum colored heroine likes to say:

 

"So... this happened..."

 

 

Though, apparently she forgot her mask at home... *sighs*

Edited August 24, 2019 by ZemyaSoldat

[Darth Delicious]

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Instant smile on my face! hahaha That is too cute, I love this!
Silly DD forgetting her mask haha. She can be a bit of a scatter brain sometimes 😛
Thanks so much @ZemyaSoldat 🥰

[Christopher Robin]

Nicely done Tem and congratz DD!

 

The mask I figured was an intentional choice to better show the face much

in the way DD drew a version of Chernobyl without the visor. I could be wrong though.

 

Sent a PM with my other thoughts con/crit. Very cute and awesome

though and a definite upgrade to your style of Chibi.

And now that I've scrapped my progress on coloring and decided to start from scratch, here's a colored version of @Darth Delicious's lovely lineart of Chernobyl Dawn

 

[Darth Delicious]

Woohoo! Look at her! Wow and look at all the strands of hair! 😮

[Darth Delicious]

Ehm... to say the famous words... So.... this happend... 😛 

[Christopher Robin]

Okay, that does it...

 

...now I definitely need to buy a set of these for (at least) my mains heroes.

When did you say you were taking commissions in this style already????

 

Also did you go master a new coloring style to go with

your new portrait style just for me? Awww ya shouldn't have.

 

Also this is awesome! Did I mention that this is awesome? Cuz it is.

I love the way this turned out. Thanks DD.

Was feeling left out of all the coloring shenanigans so

I decided to work on my Chernobyl Dawn flats.

 

Huzzah!

Teeeheee, glad you like this CR! 
I was trying to be bold with colors, as I usually stay on the safe side. ^_^
Hah, as for commissions, I have one more truck to draw (yes people... I seem to be drawing trucks now O.O) while practice some more coloring during breaks.
Then I'll focus on CoH commissions again 😉 

Chernobyl is being spoiled! So awesome to see different awesome coloring renditions indeed!

Below are some screenshots of one of my current favorite characters, "Hit 'n Run".  She's a former Malta Operative who, as part of a plea agreement, now plies her skills in the hero trade.  She's an archery/tactical arrow blaster, with a distinctively high-tech flare.  Due to strict military indoctrination while with Malta, it's been hard for her to loosen up, so her clothing retains a military theme, even though she currently holds no rank or commission.  As her name implies, she utilizes her superior maneuverability, (mystic flight + translocation) and stealth in order to gain the advantage over her target(s).  She's also not above deceiving her opponents, (represented via the pacify and intimidate powers).  I am currently looking to see what kind of art, if any, I can get for her.  Without further adieu, I present "Hit 'n Run":

 

 

 

Thanks for reading!
