+++ collab central +++
Original Sketch by Christopher Robin:
Inking and Color:
Still needs work but this is as far as I've gotten on it. If anyone else wants to take a stab feel free!
Noticed this gift artz over on his website.
Apparently he lurks here, saw the collab thread and wanted in on it.
You really should check out the large version (clicking the image here will take you to his site, then click
the image there to get a bigger version, click a third time to magnify and see it full size) as there are some great details that don't show up at this resolution.
He's got some other really cool stuffz over there too.
I think he changed to just Judgement, or planned to, when he held the redesign LJs costume thread.
Bobby's colors are amazing! He did the first colors on Jr's linework a couple years ago. He and Eddy Swan are some of my favorite colorists to watch here on the forums though neither of them post anymore.
This thread has definitely paid off for ya CR! Grats!
They are two of my favorites as well, Eddy is doing ok also (for those who didn't know)
he was for the most part unaffected by the hurricanes that battered Australia and is currently out jobhunting.
Bobby is awesome!
*giggles* I suppose that one is finished then.
Still open for collabing;

Was able to squeeze in some more time. Subtle difference. Cleaned up the inking in the hair. Working my way throughout the details now to clean up the inking as I get time.
Edit: Sorry if there is a lot of time between when I post stuff. Between getting ready for PAX and work I don't have much free goof off time and its a bit time consuming to do the lines with a mouse.

First off I went back to the line work, as it was soild and very nice. You don't want to take away from what has been done already, you want to add to it.
So line art by CR
Then I pulled the lines off the background and did all my work under them as to let them shin tho as much as pos.
I then added the flats, basic shading and highlights.
I hope this helps or at least adds a new look for the art.
Color by Goat
I don't mind at all if anyone wants to clean this up or work with it.
Nice job aswell Lord Goat!
It's always very interesting to watch serveral techniques and styles of colouring.
I still have a drawing lying around... Chichester Dawson is her name...
Click on it for a larger version.
I've tried colouring her.. but I can't handle the fire ().
I'll place it for references. And to add... there should be a fist in the circle on her chest...
Anyone wanna give it a shot?

Figured I would try and tweak this a bit over lunch.
Anyone who wants to tweak it further or add some kind of background feel free to do so.
Also the hair being in front of the shoulder was giving a mis-aligned
look that was bugging me so I redid both shoulders, I think it's an improvement.

Added a background.
Hey Soobooku I like the green tint you gave that background... is there any way you could do that with a ingame background?
What zone would be a good backdrop? A laboratory of some kind perhaps or something that looks like a research facility?
Perhaps a question for Ransim?
Sure thing. The screenshot in the background in from in the university in Steel.
FYI if anyone else is going to add to my tweaked version there was an update
(easily visible as I gave her a longer neck and slightly wider shoulders).
Post 37/38 has it.
WOW!
I am so so so immensely happy I checked here tonight before going to bed. We just got in a couple hours ago after driving home from Boston (yay PAX). Unfortunately not long after getting home we had some terrible drama involving a towing company and one of our cars and this just totally made me feel so much better. I couldn't even hope to put it into words.
Goat, Soobooku, CR, I <3 you guys, you've just totally made my night.
I'm going to look over everything you guys have done, I'm making some attempts to learn coloring/shading and I'm picking up a Wacom tablet probably this weekend. So hopefully with some practice I can get better.
Okay i'm going to bed before I get to excited and can't sleep. >_<

You're so very welcome Ransim and my thanks to Soobooku and Lord Goat, it's a fine collab and I'm very happy to have contributed.

I'm hoping these collabs will encourage more people to participate and actually learn by doing (and maybe volunteer their linework pieces they drew or got as gifts for coloring) you really don't lose anything and stand to gain a lot.
Plus as more people get proficient at coloring it would be great to be able to drop some pencils in here and see it colored up a variety of different cool ways.

I agree with LG... and would like to add... it also motivates!
I've learned alot by just looking at someone else's colouring and tweaks.
Everybody has their focus on something and knows how to work that into a masterpiece. The others will be triggered to pay more attention to "that" part aswell in their next drawing.
I love this system

Well I got my tablet yesterday and was able to play around with it a bit, so hopefully tonight or tomorrow I'll try my hand at something. Just the little bit I was able to do yesterday testing was impressive compared to trying to do it with the mouse.
gratz on the tablet Ransim!
