He's a great character. The way you did the hat just tickles me. I'd love to see him in a movie. I really like this guy, Mike. He’s a great character. The way you did the hat just tickles me.

It's got more of a storyboard/character concept feel to it. Reminds me of the Sisters of Bellevue. I like it, Mike! It’s got more of a storyboard/character concept feel to it.

I'm glad you guys like what I've been doing lately. I still feel like things that turn out are done mostly by accident. I generally use painter for the bulk of the colouring and just paint strait ahead... like it were really oils on canvas and then pop it back into photoshop, desaturate it a little and pull the overall colour adjust slightly one way or another and tweak other stuff until I like it. Sometimes, I also colour sketched lines in photoshop first, then paint underneath in painter too :) That’s so funny, because colouring to me feels like the most difficult thing.

Mon, 30 Oct 2006 14:36:22 +0000 http://cowshell.com/buffalog/2006/10/27/color-test/#comment-423 I like this guy a lot Mike. I wonder what he'd look like with some cleaner lines above the color. I do a lot of painting underneath line work, but my painting tends to be kind of flooby and uncontrolled (unlike Sarah's wonderful work). Sometimes it's fun to paint color under the lines, and then paint on a layer OVER the lines. Now I'm waiting for Sarah's answer too. :) Bryan I like this guy a lot Mike.
