Artist's Comments

To tell you the truth, I'm really disappointed with this pic. I was NOT expecting it to come out all "rainbow-y," but rather I wanted the colour scheme to remain in the red-blue area. So much for that. Curse you random purples and greens and browns that slyly intruded whilst I was colouring!

I also made quite a few errors while working on this, and you can even spot where I covered them up with blotches of purple :XD:

On a brighter note, I like how the face turned out!

I didn't like how my original was so bright and "in yo face" so I made an alternative version: [link] - which one do you think is the better?

I don't think you should be disappointed with it - I think this is really good! :D I love the fiery reds and yellows. I think that it's good those other colours crept in - it reduces the brightness and makes it more natural-looking. Those tones often appear in real life. I particularly like the detail around the eye/face/horns. Well done! ^^

Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker.

Lol :dance: I'm really glad you like it!

Well, the way I did it was... first, I linearted it, then coloured it, then messed up and blotched out half of it, then covered it with purples and pinks, then voila!

Now I'm gonna go brush my teeth, thank you very much :brushteeth:

Oh, and the Copics did most of the busy-work :XD:

I really like the colors, they're so vibrant. You could always tone them down digitally if you want but I don't think you should.

Really? That's funny because I actually did try "toning" it down, but I asked my parents for advice and they said they liked it this way, too! Glad I could get people's opinions :D

Oh, here's a link to the one I tried editing: [link]

[Personally, I like them both :XD:]
