I think the second background looks way better.

TINKERING?!

Definitely more than tinkering. Those look great!

[Christopher Robin 3055]

Thanks Icanav I do too.

 

This was a drawing I started way back during CoH live but the person I was making it for disappeared

from the forums and so I never bothered to finish it. Aside from the reference picture all

I remember being told is that he has ice powers and a very joker-like grin.

 

   

 

I've been branching out and trying different coloring techniques lately so I'm going to

experiment on this and color it up even if Arcturus, most likely, will never see it.

Thanks @Troo, I'm glad you like where it's headed.

 

Yeah I've always had more control with traditional media. Digital coloring can be kind of hit or miss for me.

It's not that I'm bad at it, I have an eye for color, just untrained. I don't always know what the digital equivalent is.

I'm sure if I keep practicing I'll get as proficient with a stylus as I am with a brush or pencil. One of these days.

aaaand I think that'll do it for the colors on Arcturus.

You know I just checked and there are four people with that

forum name... may as well try @' ing them. Maybe he's already here.

 

Hey @Arcturus @Arcturus99210 @Arcturusg @ArcturusPolaris... anyone lose a gift artz?

Well, he must come back.  I need to see this latest artwork finished!  It looks so good so far and it's a very handsome character coming across in the work!...................................................

@DarkLilac Thanks for the comment and welcome.

Because you asked here is an update on Mysterious Mike.

Added flat colors. Still a ways to go but progress is being made.

 

 

Somehow he got a little bit cross-eyed (on his left side)

along the way but no worries Mike, I promise I'll fix it in post!

Hehehe, I'm sure he'll appreciate that 😉
I still have to giggle about his "new" hair color

Reworked the background to look more like Troo's Gaseous Aura.

I might do another shading pass or two for more contrast.

 

          

 

 

Ooh that last one! Looks like you're really getting the hang of backgrounds CR!

Well if you ever wondered what he would look like as a "sandy blond" now you know.

It's been darkened in subsequent coloring passes. I added some grey hairs to his beard as well.

 

Speaking of coloring here is another experimental piece from way back when.

The victi.... errr I mean the subject for this was Caemgen again. Because he was there.

The background was almost too easy, I'm wary of it.

It does put me on the horns of a dilemma though.

The red light from it is not affecting Troo at all.

Nearly everything white should be red now.

[DJ1 208]

Don't think I eever saw that Caemgen one b4. the linework looks rough on purpose and it kind of suits the badass look. for Troo how hard would it be to turn the white red?

[Christopher Robin 3055]

Originally I drew it to be a sig bar, not sure he wanted/needed one

but I was making them at the time his birthday rolled around.

 

 

Not sure really for Troo. I know there are ways in PS to replace colors or maybe a simple overlay would do it.

It might be easier than I think. I'll tinker with it more another day when I get some time, for now I am working on DD.

 

[Christopher Robin 3055]

Update! I didn't have as much time to work on this

as I wanted but I filled in the white space in her

hair with more pink and fixed a few things.

 

 

[Healix 758]

I can't even express how awesome I think this is, and I am honored that you took time to create a pic of Healix. (I haven't been here or most other places because real life has not been kind lately and I have a plate that has overflowed. I'll survive it, regardless. LOL)

It's well deserved @Healix, wish we had a dozen more like you here.

New stuff on the way I have prize sketch for Clawdebt's hero Shock A Zulu that I will post shortly.

[Christopher Robin 3055]

Okay here is what I have so far.

 

There is some right hand bias creeping in that I will fix as I go

along but what do you think so far Clawdebt?

Heading in the right direction?

 

[Christopher Robin 3055]

Update on Zulu.

 

 

[Clawdebt 60]

So cool!

[Christopher Robin 3055]

Another Zulu update.

I decided to tint it with the colors from that weeks challenge.

Corrected the bias some and fixed his ears and lips a bit.

I'll see about throwing in his shoulder pads and the

"electric sun" chest emblem tomorrow perhaps.

[Christopher Robin 3055]

You do make a fair point.

Okay maybe just 7 more like her.

[Christopher Robin 3055]

Finished the 1st weeks prize

for my costume color challenge

 

Sorry this took me so long Clawdebt

I was buried in snowfall the last few days.

 

I added some extra detail for you.

Here is Shock A Zulu, enjoy!

 

 

[Christopher Robin 3055]

@Clawdebt Here he is without
