Colorization

Camp Woody Ch. 1 – Camp Chaos Page 13

So here’s the next page of Camp Woody, once again drawn by the fantastic Linno. I had a lot of fun coloring this one, even though I had to put it off for a little while. It’s all wrapped up now, though, and I can’t wait to get the next page and color it as well!

Camp Woody Ch. 1 – Camp Chaos Pages 11-12

So now we’re finally back to seeing pages drawn by Linno, the original artist of the chapter who got me interested in the comic. I was pretty excited to color these pages, so I ended up burning through them pretty quickly. Hopefully you guys can enjoy them as much as I enjoyed coloring them. 😀

PBX – Calling King Kai

One of the things that excites me most about coloring Pandoras Box’s work is the chance to take some of the sketches floating around and really flesh them out. PBX has a huge archive of work, and a lot of them are just sketches without the fine-tuning you’d expect from a finished piece. Since I do all of my work on top of the original, I can work with these as well as I can the finished ones, with similar results. That’s what this one is, and I’m very happy with it. Hopefully you guys will be happy with it, too.

I can’t stress enough how great PBX has been about these colors, either. It’s really been a pleasure, and I look forward to doing many more colors like the ones you’ve seen so far in the future.

PBX – Poke a Trap

Still working on my Pandoras Box kick, here’s a non-DBZ pic that’s always been one of my favorites. Just everything about this pic is great for me. Ash and Misty going at it on Jessie’s back is golden enough, but then all the little details like Jessie’s expression or James sleeping in the back do nothing but add to it. Throw in Delia with her camera as a nice touch, too. Hopefully you all can enjoy these colors as much as I’ve enjoyed the original over the years.

PBX – Videl Sketch

This is probably the only pencil work where I can keep some of the original sketch material. I really like this pic, even if I didn’t actually ink and color the “good” parts. This one, to my knowledge, never got fully shaded by PBX. I’m hoping to do more of those sketches floating around the ‘net in the future.

I love working with Pandoras Box’s work. I hope I’ll be able to do a lot more with PBX’s old stuff; I’ve set aside a lot of them to ink and color in the future.

PBX – Home With the Boys

I contacted Pandora’s Box (still one of my favorite artists after so many years), asking for permission to post and share some colorizations. I was given the go ahead, so here’s the first of what I hope will be many PBX colors.

Like with DTiberius, I inked and colored the whole thing. I know most colorists prefer to keep the original pencil work and lay it over the colors (I have some old PBX colors I did a few years ago where I did just that), but I don’t personally like how that looks. The pencils look great, no mistake, but something about placing them over the colors distorts the colors in a way I don’t like. Even colorizing the original work leaves me unsatisfied, so I take the tedious task of inking on top of coloring instead. I hope you all enjoy the final product.
