Great job.
I'm holding off on most of my commnts until I post the results (this weekend).
He looks so mad!
As I commented on DA, I'm glad I didn't try this since mine wouldn't have looked anywhere near this awesome.

Very awesome work! I love the definition around the lines on his body, makes it look three dimensional. Also the flames around his name look great.
I'm really impressed! I like it. What did you use to color it?
Great job LJ ... there are some nice reflections and some beautiful shadow work on that piece.

Photoshop
1) Opened black & white jpg of Colossus.
2) Set layer to multiply, placed a layer under that for the background color which I made a very under saturated orange.
3) Placed another layer in between those for separate areas, and made multiple layers subsequently: skin, hair, uniform, boots, bracelets, belt, face, letters...
4) Each layer is flatted with the pencil tool, then locked for color only.
5) Then each area is colored using the gradient tool, set on radial gradients for multiply and (shadows), screen (for highlights).
6) Each layer is also separately colored with a hard brush tool, set at 10-50% opacity, again using either multiply or screen, and sometimes 30% normal.
7) The flames were smudged at the top, and I used a a chrome filter for the letters, and applied image to screen it, making it brighter.
That's roughly how I do everything. Bet you're glad you asked.
Thats about what I expected! You did great 
Thanks I like your work too! (tried to write that from a Russian to English translation, and all I got on here were numbers... oh well the sentiments the same!)
Hehe, thanks Lady I appreciate it
My late entry for Juggertha's Colossus Coloring Contest. Though in my defense you closed the door at 11am in Korea, and it's still the 20th here in Kanada.
