Image in colour.

~~Jarrah White~~ · 07-13-2004, 05:41 PM

Alot of people have said that TMNT Volume 3 would have looked better if it was in colour and not B&W, much like it's predecessor. Just a question, has anybody ever tried colouring it themselves?

You guys can feel free to post coloured scans of Image in this thread if you wish.

i really dunno which way is better, i don't care to be honest, strangely enough somethimes i feel b&w is better than color. it gives it an old effect. for example, watch an episode of batman TAS in B&W is seems to almost work better that way. But as for tmnt, i just don't care, i suppose budgetary reasons are a factor, and i really can't see the major enhancements from it.

It would be quite an intersting sight to see Raph's face in issue 1 in color.

And how could you watch Batman: TAS in B&W? It's mostly dark, especially in most of the battle and chase scenes. Don't your eyes hurt?

i'm serious, turn the color down once while your watching it, it alomost seems to look more natural.

and how would it hurt my eyes?? weren't tv's B&W to begin with?

I'll try it.

But I was raised in the land of Technicolor. Watching B&W makes me feel ill sometimes. I don't know why.

A lot of the Image comics (depending on which inker) were in a very minimalistic b/w format with solid black and white surfaces and very little texturing, which did not lend itself well to coloring. (much like Sin City)

So I vote that colors would not have been a good idea. I like TMNT better in B/W anyway.
