Color Experiment

Jacob Barboza

So, if this new coloring pattern (which looks very good, by the way) doesn't take CENTURIES anymore, is it down to decades? Or just years?

David Olie

IMO, this looks as good as or better than any other page you've colored.

This looks bright and cool! More "lively" somehow than your previous colors I think? I just went through the comic at random to find some old coloring, and landed on The Trials of Susan. This version looks more realistic (I think due to shadows) and energetic compared to that :)

Prof Sai

I think this is just as good as your colors have been in the past. It maintains the uniqueness of your colors that I can’t describe. (Something to do with more energy in the cooler tones somehow?)

John Trauger

I'm not sure then. Does this mean the test was a partial success? Doesn't sound like a complete success...

Looks good to me!

I don't know if this is a result of your new swatch library or just the colors you happened to choose, but the general look of the strip feels both brighter and paler than your usual work (if that makes sense). It feels strange right now, but I think I'd get used to it. As for the shadows, the change might be contributing to the odd feel I'm getting, but just considering them on their own merits they look pretty good.

I think it looks really good. :) Sorry I don't know enough about color to say more than that, but it's nifty to see the strip in color again.

It doesn't make them take MUCH longer unless there's a lot of gradients, or if I miss spots the first time around. Relatively speaking, it's a minor increase in time commitment.

John Trauger

Does this at least make shadows take decades instead of centuries?

Sam Mann

I dig it

Some Ed

That looks pretty good, unless I compare it too closely with Dave Barrack's post right below this one. I think that guy either gets more hours than I do per day or he has a team or something.

Dan Shive

Not as one layer.

Me not knowing a lot about color: Instead of mixing with black, could you have a single layer that reduces value by some percent while simultaneously upping saturation?

Wolf Avatar

I agree with the others. This looks really good. I can't really imagine what it looked like without the extra saturation on the shadows, but the shadows look really nice.

Kyman201

This looks pretty damn good, IMO.

I like the colors a whole lot. As David says above, your art looks great in color. I particularly like Sarah's color palette, her hair and clothes have a nice variety that match well.

Scotty

I like it, Sarah looks super cute.

I think it looks good, always been a fan of how you do color in your art
