Pondering...

...is there a reason everyone's referring to the "coloring" and not the "painting" in the comments on the kitsune maiko on DA? I'd say they were cuing off the mention of linework, because normally you color linework, not paint it, except I also used the word "painting" there.

I'm not worried or angry or anything silly, just mystified. Huh.

Nice coloring on that one.

...Weird. Maybe it's because painting is the technique, and they were referring to the use of colours inside your technique? I got nothin'.

I'm at a loss here. The only thing I can think of is they scan the description, see 'link to original lineart here' and assume you're coloring someone else's lineart? That's all I got.

No telling. I think understanding the mind of anyone on DA is like understanding the mind of a cat.
