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 – 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.

COY 13 – Kallen/Chi-Chi

COY stands for Cross Over Yuri. The premise is pretty simple, I have a list I’ve compiled of over 500 cute girls from various anime and manga. I then use a random number generator to make pairing, which I then draw. Every third picture is a threesome.

With this, I am officially caught up on COY here. I’m working on #14, but it could be a while still before it’s up.

I kind of like this one, although in hindsight I wish I could’ve done something more dynamic with it. I’m getting close to being able to draw without photo references, but I’m not quite there yet. Unfortunately, that means a lot of what I do is based on what sort of reference pics I can find, and creativity is the victim. 🙁

Ogata Satomi – Aim at Planet Namek!

This was my first coloring project, which is why it’s one of the few times you’ll see me post a colorization here that I didn’t collaborate with the original artist on. Such a venture would have been impossible in this case, anyway.

Aim at Planet Namek! is an old doujin, one of the first I ever read. Here I not only splashed color onto it, but also reworked the dialogue to make it easier to read.
