i got an error on my first attempt to submit this. I don't know if it will be doubled now.

I colored this. Only colors. The pencils were by the Tenth's new artist, Romano.

There is still some work I need to do to this. I need to fix some issues. But I thought I'd show it now anyway.

Hmm.. you need to throw some contrast in there. Every thing is just different shades of the same color.

The guys arm looks really cool, the car and rocks look excellent. I dont like his cape cloak thing, it seems to be to muddy. The gil is also sort of a weird orange color, Id fix her up a bit... her pants also. Looks great so far, nice 3d look on his arm.

That is very cool. I really like the poses
and the action and the smashed car...maybe
too much purple though???

Espy's hair is black, not purple. the colours are a little... eh... bright? i dunno.. doesnt look right,

the background needs to be darker especially near the bottom so it looks like the pile of junk stands out more. too much of one colour, needs contrast. like green coat on Victor, purple pants on Espy.

the arm affect is very cool and uh... you coloured in the lines? hehe

I fixed some of the problems.

I got rid of the haze I had around the bottom. I darkened some areas. Recolored others.

I getting some major color changes between the conversion from RGB to .jpg. I'm not sure why. The version you see looks awful. But what I see in adobe is much better. The gamut shouldn't affect jpeg's, right?

I'll do some futher edits, to fix this.

really nice post the pic when it is done. does not seem done. especially the girl.

Ok, I checked it again. Still confused. I opened both the .jpg version and the .psd version in adobe. Both look fine. But when I open the .jpg version in Explorer it is darkened quite a bit. Anyone know whats up? Ive never noticed such a problem before.

I opened it up in Paint Shop Pro and lightened the image. That seems to have fixed the darkness problem.

Now I still question if the girl is working ok.
Do you think I should add some blue or multiply the existing tones, to add to the shading?

A whole lot of posts by me in this thread.

Darkmoon,
No, I didn't color in the lines. The only place I did that was the license plate. I just tried to establish viens and muscle tone on the arm. I usually try to get more textures in than I did in this one. But I did manage to do his arm up.
