Hmmm, so need opinions again. How is it looking so far? The background is still being refined, and I know there are problems with the actual drawing ((which I didn't see until colour was there ^^;))

But it's okay....





Still not sure if I wanna shade it in my normal style, or the 'painter' style I've been playing with...any suggestions?

...

I'm almost tempted to just cut it off under Ace's elbow ;___;

Awww, that's no fair being alone on your b-day (but I know what it feels like...) Well, hopefully the day still ends up being nice for you. And I'm sure i have recipes around here somewhere >_>

As for colouring...

I do a layer of one or two main colours I want in the picture and then do a layer on top that is just big brush strokes of all the colours in the background, in the general areas I want them (like grass, a rock, water, building, lights, etc....) and then once I have that down, I can choose the colours(or shades for already established colours) I want my characters to have. And as you can see above, I block in all those colours on their own layer and afterwards it's just a matter of shading. But by having the background colours there, you can see where your light source is and what colours would reflect on what.

Hope that helps a bit?
