Mirage TMNT Coloring

Heather Breckel · 09-18-2012, 11:27 PM

I'll likely do more, but in my rare downtime I've randomly felt like coloring some random panels from TMNT. I really love the very early stuff but I think I'm slightly too lazy to go through and edit the toning off the images, so I went with something from volume 4.

Lines by Jim Lawson. Quite a bit different style than what I did for the April Micro, but I figured something more sharp and bright would compliment his stuff. If I can ever bring myself to take the toning off some of the early Mirage stuff, I would likely take a grittier route.

(background removed because I wasn't up to getting the toning away from the bg elements)

Thanks guys! Glad you like it!

Lampy, I use Adobe Photoshop CS3 with a Wacom Intuos 4 tablet.

Wow! I extremely appreciate. Now I want more of the same! I'm sure Lawson would love it too.

Thanks Heather! Looks real good. I'll have to give CS3 another try.

I think this thread should be stickied. I'd love to see what other dromers can do with this. Seeing powder's coloring on duncans art shows how much talent we have here in the drome. Its crazy...
