been a bit slow in keeping this place updated with new pieces.

Already told Eddy this when I first saw the colored version of the art Wassy did of Fenian but I just want to say again - He does an absolutely fantastic job of adapting his colors to the line artists style.

When I was first asking him to do my Tim Kelly pieces (above a bit) I was worried how they would turn out - not because I didn't have faith in Eddy but because TK's style is kind of unique and just any old coloring job (even a good one) could easily erase that uniqueness... Once I saw Eddy's colors on the first one though, all fears were eased...

Now, once again, I think Eddy did a fabulous job of coloring another artists work while maintaining the style and uniqueness of that artist.

Bravo Mr Swan!

Great job on the latest batch Eddy.

I agree with Caemgen it's great to see this stuff in color but I can still tell easily tell that's a Wassy piece (wooden duck and all )... you are adding to the works without overpowering the original style.
Nice.

Getting busy this weekend with commissions. (goes back to work)

Some recent commissions.

Look who the Soul Kitten dragged in.

Nice work on these man, good range of color and I see you fixed up some stuff too (removed the cut line from Bayani's piece, made Alpha's neck mechanical like it should be etc etc)... the colors are even a bit more vibrant than your norm. Cool stuff Eddy.

Only things I might suggest (just a preference thing) is to color the pages/debris blowing around in Caemgen's scene... even if it's a light color like yellow or amber just so the only white is the background. A white piece of something on a white background with only a black outline looks like it got overlooked.

Also the codpiece on Alpha... with the inner side of his right thigh being dark and a heavy drop shadow (from the torso) over his left thigh I don't see how there can be "top-lighting" striking his crotch in between them. If there was another light source it would have to be from a side or below and so a different part of the surface should be white. I am no expert on metallics though so by all means correct me if you see it differently.

P.S. Just noticed Bayani's piece got flipped horizontally too... is this a correction because he is left handed?

Oooh, oooh, I know this one! It's flipped because of the little model sheet/character profile book Bayani is working up. Works better with the formatting if it's flipped around.

Eddy - I've just plain run out of new ways to tell you that you did a great and amazing job so I'm just going to do an interpretive dance instead....

heh schweet I barely have to answer my own questions these days

yeah, I get what your saying with the codpiece, but there is alot more flexibility with shiny so I dont think it looks too odd. and I did add a slight bit of color to the paper, but it must not have been an active layer when I saved the jpeg for web.

and....

New Stuff!
