Anyone want to color this?

Here's the story: Someone on my f-list is putting together a fannish care package for someone else. Names not mentioned in case said someone else wanders by here, although I don't see why they would. But you never know.

I've drawn this pic, and it needs color, but I've got other projects whose deadlines are hammering at my door and I want to farm the coloring out to someone else. (For the purposes of the care package. I'm going to color it myself to sell prints at A-Kon.)

I don't care what style (although if you can do a highlights-blown-out urban-NY-1980s look that would be AWESOME), but I'd rather like the colorist to be someone who's fairly good at it. :D The colors need to be strong enough to match the lines. Cel style, painterly, whatever, it just needs to Look Good. It also needs to be done relatively soon, within a few days, and needs to be at 300ppi/8x10" because I'm printing it out and mailing it. I've got a Photoshop file with layers, but if you don't have PS I can make it whatever format you need to open it with whatever program you've got.

(If there's anyone else who just wants the lines to color, but not for this project, ask me and I'll send you the lines. XD)







Yes, that's Aya from Weiss Kreuz, so you're stuck with red hair and purple eyes, but the rest is up to you. The outfit is mostly based on this masterpiece Rachel and I saw in Harajuku, which is what inspired the picture. :)


If you want to know what I mean by "highlights-blown-out urban-NY-1980s style", you can see examples here. That's not Debbie Harry in the first one, it's a model from a fashion shoot imitating Debbie Harry. :)

Hi there, I've taken it 'cos its perfect to practice with my new Wacom, but its incredibly unlikely my results would be good enough for you to use (see icon for exmple!) - sorry :(

I stole the flattened .JPEG to practice my mouse-colouring.

This (http://pics.livejournal.com/lady_noremon/pic/001brf1h) is all I did because 1) I'm lazy, 2) I'm not good at it [or computer colouring at all] & 3) I ran-out of layers in OC1.1...

Hey, neat! That's looking good! :D

Thanks! [though I'll probably never try and finish it] I like how the buckle came-put. I just used mulitply, add, & subtract layers and the water-colour & pen tool.

I too am stealing the image to play around with it.

yus! I'm all over that action. XD
But I also am a COMPLETE SUCKER for glasses. I always have been. Put a pair of glasses on a somewhat attractive guy/gal and RWAR I am helpless! I especially like the shy glasses wearers, the ones that will only wear glasses in private. What's the matter there mister? Are you shy? Are you aware how ScHMEXY you look in those so hide yourself away? Muahahhaa!

*cough*

ANYWAYS!

Oh, he's beautiful!

I've taken the file to play with, although purely for my own entertainment and practice. I'll let you know if I ever make anything not embarrassing out of it...
