Christopher Robin 3565 Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 (edited) 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. Edited March 8 by Christopher Robin 2 1 Like the Costume Creator?

Christopher Robin 3565 Posted March 3 Author Share Posted March 3 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? 5 Like the Costume Creator? Enjoy a challenge? Love to WIN?

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! 5 1 Like the Costume Creator? Enjoy a challenge? Love to WIN?

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. 6 1 Like the Costume Creator? Enjoy a challenge? Love to WIN?

Thanks @Darth Delicious 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. 4 Like the Costume Creator? Enjoy a challenge? Love to WIN? You really should've clicked here before 6pm on Sunday the 18th!

DJ1 248 Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 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? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher Robin 3565 Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 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. 5 Like the Costume Creator? Enjoy a challenge? Love to WIN?

Christopher Robin 3565 Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 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. 7 Like the Costume Creator? Enjoy a challenge? Love to WIN?

Healix 771 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 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.

Christopher Robin 3565 Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Okay here is what I have so far.

Christopher Robin 3565 Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 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. 7 Like the Costume Creator?
