PBX – Calling King Kai

By on Tuesday, February 25, 2014

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 – Videl Sketch

By on Monday, January 27, 2014

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

By on Wednesday, January 15, 2014

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.

Iwasaki Tatsuya – Walking in on the Mooks

By on Monday, September 30, 2013

This is a pic by Iwasaki Tatsuya I colored. I really like Tatsuya-sama’s art style, he did a comic called “Monsterlog” that I loved when I was younger. If there was an English version, I would probably color it, too. His style is very unique, which may make it less palatable for some but it’s what draws me to his work. Hopefully I’ll get the opportunity to color his work again.

As for the picture itself, I’ve always been fond of Mai. I like that hairstyle, which is why I’m also pretty fond of Chi-Chi and Twilight Sparkle (among others). There’s a really good comic featuring Mai I would like to color someday, but unfortunately it can take some time to work through a whole comic.

Bijob #2 – Androids

By on Monday, October 22, 2012

Here’s the second pic of my Bijob series. Sorry this took so long, I know a number of you were looking forward to it, but this image went through several drafts before I settled on this one. I don’t know why, but I had a hard time getting an angle I was happy with. Truth be told, I’m still not crazy about it, but it’s definitely the best of the ones I turned out.

I wanted to do one with Android #18 and her twin brother, #17 from Dragonball Z. Once I had decided on them, it seemed natural to make the receiving guy (who may not always be a character from the property, but in this case is) Krillin, #18’s husband. We don’t see much of #17 after they marry, but it’s implied in GT (for those who consider it canon) that he lived in the woods after being revived by Shenron. I suppose it’s possible that between the Cell and Buu sagas he paid his sister and her husband a visit, though I can’t say I’m terribly worried about making this picture fit into continuity. 😀

Code Geass Crossover CrossOver Yuri Dragon Ball

COY 13 – Kallen/Chi-Chi

By on Wednesday, June 8, 2011

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. 🙁

COY 4 – Nami/Videl

By on Friday, April 9, 2010

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.

This was a complicated piece. Not because of anything with the image itself, but because I got into quite a tiffle with Gelbooru over it. Apparently, it didn’t meet their quality standards because Videl’s mouth, quote, “Looks like a Goomba.” Whatever. For some reason, their policy against allowing Western artists never came up, though.

Interestingly enough, though, I saw this pic on Gelbooru several months later. It was up for quite a while before someone realized I wasn’t Japanese and had it taken down. During that time, it received an extremely high rating and had several very positive comments, probably more than it deserved. Go figure.

Azumanga Daioh Crossover CrossOver Yuri Dragon Ball

COY 1 – Android 18/Kagura

By on Friday, March 12, 2010

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.

 

This was the first official COY, meaning it’s the first to be generated using the random system described above. And what a doozy of a first pairing it is! Two of my favorite anime, Dragonball Z and Azumanga Daioh, meet with my favorite girls from each show. Wow. In hindsight, though, I kind of wish this pairing had popped up later, as my art really wasn’t that strong back then. Oh well, nothing saying I can’t take a crack at this crack pairing again later!
