CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

hello again. This month we have a special treat folks! Mave is letting us use her art to color!! This should be good. She is quite busy at the moment but will get it in soon. For now, I would suggest talking quietly amongst yourselves. Thank you.

*drops case of art supplies and sits on it...waiting...*

*sprawls out on the ground, also waiting*

Hi! I think I might join this time.

mave just PMed me and said she'ld ahve it tomorrow. thanks for waiting. while you wait you should all check out the photo contest also located in the art corner!!

Heh Olorc, I responded to your PM yesterday so the 'tomorrow' is actually today. X33

After much digression, I selected this piece. I hope everyone will find this acceptable. (^^)

Yay! I think it's definitely way beyond acceptable ^_^

*staring intently at the picture and brainstorming*

Ok, this looks like it is going to be very interesting. **tries to think of great ideas for excellent art**

GLEEE CLEAN LINEARRRTTT *colorz* (I never can get that kind of quality out of my linart it seems*

*wakes up from dozing on art supply box*

Oh? It's here! Dude, there's a manga artist! Hmm, nice big file size for printing...I wonder what I could do with this outside of the computer... *glances at the_Lizardqueen and also starts thinking intently*

I think I will also join =D

p.s love the piccy Mave (he looks like Aya..)

I agree - cool picture, Mave. I'll also try to join in this time around.

definately a good pic. Thanks for the art Mave. Ok guys (and gals if you want me to be politacally correct) let's see what you got.
computers, art supplies, toothpaste, blood... they're all fair game when making Mave's nice piece colorized!!

Hmm toothpaste? You know, that might not be a bad idea...

BTW olorc, when's the deadline on this contest? The standard two weeks, or an extended four?

D'oh! I didn't realise it had already started! All right, count me in! I'll see what I can do with coloured pencils on a small-sized version of this pic.
Thanks for the pic, Mave! I love the dolphin creatures -especially how you've done their eyes and fins.

Ok this is my entry! Used Water color pencils for the colouring and A blurring effect in Gimp. The scanned version doesn't give the original much credit but, Oh well!

Thanks Lizard Quuen for explaining that, I was being dumb XD

Go to the bottom and click 'manage attachments' ^_^

Glad to hear ppl like the outline so far. XD Alright, we already have a submission! *0*)//

That's so cool, Vernhal! I love the colours you've used and how they're so light and soft. ^_^

Thanks!!! n_n I used to color all my pictures like that, I might scan a few more and post them here on caa. Maves Lineart Was perfect for this type of coloring. Thanks for letting it be used for the contest Mave!

Wow. :is intimidated: <.<; I think I'm gonna enter too... :nod:

I wish I could draw like you Mave. My art skills are getting rusty cause I don't have time to do anything any more. But yours are out of this world.:nod:

Very nice Vernhal! I was rather shocked someone wanted to post so soon...my picture could take weeks...

same here esoteric

Me too... and first of all I need to get some more black ink in the computer catridge. ^_^ I can't wait to see all these entries -it looks like even more people are interested than last time.

I am posting this quickly because I am leaving to work at a summer camp soon. This is my first time using Photoshop, so please give me feedback. I hope you like it!

nice submissions so far. Keep it up.

That's really amazing, Meboeck! I really love the different shades of blue in his hair, And the soft blending of the shaded areas into the normal areas <-if that makes sense Excellent background too -love how you've repeated the little dolphin, and that texture looks great. ^_^

... :pauses coloring with colored pencils: ... :is intimidated again: -_-.....

:goes back to coloring: Oh well... it doesn't matter as long as I color it right? ^-^ :color color:..

Hey I've got a weird question. o_o So are the regular art contests (where you draw) just... over? Did they quit doing them to do this instead? Its fine if they did. I was just wondering -.-..... I'm sorry.

Meboeck!! You say that's your first coloring job in PS??!!!! Man that's awesome. If you're that good with PS just starting out...*looks at Yeito and also begins cowering with intimidation.*

Um, no the other contest are still operating. Olorc's contest isn't an 'official' CAA contest, it's just something he thought would be fun for us artists, and it certainly has been. As for the official drawing contests...I've only entered once. Most of the time I can't seem to find the monthly thread for it, so you're not alone there.

Yahoo more submissions! This is very interesting for me to see how ppl interpret my lineart. Vernhal, you water colored it? WOW....wow (I can't watercolor to save my life). Say, do you have a higher resolution scan of it? The current scan is a bit blur but I like the soft light colors you've used!

Meboeck, I never thought of blue hair; it's cool! XD For a beginner in Photoshop, that is very good. Nice gradients and cloning of the little one in the background.

Yeito, thanks for your kind comments but pls, don't feel intimidated! :0 Everyone has their own way of doing things so IMO, there's no good/bad coloring style. This is meant to be for fun and a great way to inspire each other.

Hmm....I'm not sure about the art contest. I haven't really heard about it recently too. Maybe I'll drop a note to Inky about this.
