Seeing this made my day. I feel like you should be nominated for some sort of geek achievement award. :)

Color:

Thanks for the kind words. Big angry monkeys are always fun to draw. :) I did a mushroom villager sketch today while lying in bed trying to get over a nasty cold. :P

Looking good so far. I find, with this type of coloring, that you probably want to do a bit more rendering/shading in the pencils to begin with, otherwise you need to do a lot more digital painting to bring out the forms. When you do get to the shading stage, really think about the direction...

Donkey, not King. Colored pencil sketch.

Hopefully, with the success of the Clone Wars shorts, Lucasfilm will consider other animated projects... ;) Pen and ink/Photoshop

I've been meaning to do some new Eberron stuff but I'm way too busy right now... You can always check out the character portraits on my site and see if anything works.

That's pretty much it. If things need adjusting I use the brushes and the eraser to tweak things. Another tutorial on flatting I came across: http://www.saraquael.com/Coloring-Flatting.shtml The GutterZombie forums: http://www.dave-co.com/gutterzombie/viewforum.php?f=5

Baron Opal: I actually do switch pencils. Check out my "Desert City" thread for a bit more info on how I do my pencil drawings. GentleGiant: I use both the selection tools and hard-edged brushes (as well as the eraser) to lay down my base colors.

Colored up the finished pencil drawing of the desert city today:

The game is just a twinkle in its creator's eye at the moment. ;)

I actually put together the tutorial after the piece was finished, not while I was working on it. The extra layers were duplicates of the color layer that I created to preserve them in various stages while I was working then selectively turned off to hide them. At first I remembered to...

I scan directly into Photoshop, usually at around 300 dpi for pencil images, in either greyscale or full color mode. As long as the resolution and quality of the scan are decent, it shouldn't matter if you're scanning directly or importing from somewhere else.

My Coloring Technique in 4 "Easy" Steps: Stage 1: Scan in Line Art In order for a later stage of this technique to work, you will need your pencil drawing to have some color to it instead of being grayscale. In my case, this was easy since the drawing was done with colored pencils, but if you...

I do artwork on comission, although at the moment there's quite a line-up forming... You can always drop me a line at calvertdarren@hotmail.com and let me know what you're looking for. I haven't added any coloring tutorials to my site but I did do one for the dragon-horse piece I posted a...

Worked on the final pencil version of the city scene this past weekend:

Heh, thanks for the replies. :) The hidden face was a coincidence at first but people pointed it out in the original sketch and seemed to like it so I made sure to keep it in the final version. Here's the original sketch:

I added some digital colors to a pencil drawing I did back in the fall:

Nah, my Inbox is a little backed up at the moment...

Magic. Also a light table and Photoshop. ;) I tend to agree that the middle stage should be a little more "necromantic" for it to be a smooth transition, but the idea is that her magical abilities appear only late in the game. The client has pretty specific ideas about what each stage should...
