In the Shadows - Colouredby ~RagnarokEOTW

Digital Art / Mixed Media / Sci-Fi

NOTE - Revised version here: [link]

Finally! Finished, for now.

This has been ages coming, and I've only finished now due to 5 solid hours of colouring (the entire background) today.

Some big numbers go with this.
- 16 weeks since I began.
- 17,017,896 pixels at the full resolution.
- 20 layers in Photoshop.
- 975 Megabyte Photoshop file.
- 25 megabyte PNG export (at the full 4872x3493 resolution).
- 5 WIP uploads: [link] [link] [link] [link] [link]

Anyway, this is a submission for Ordo Illuminatus' Sketch Group (#4), and is almost certainly the most overdue piece they'll receive for some time (as it was set in January...), as well as the one that took longest in terms of hours of work (Don't ask exactly how many, I don't know...)

Line work is all traditional, done in 0.5mm B mechanical pencil on A3 sketch paper. Colouring is all digital, done in Photoshop Elements 6.

It's sort of lost the original "In the Shadows" name, because the shading and colouring isn't all that dark, but whatever.

EDIT: Forgot the basic details.
The character is Frost, armed with her coil rifle.

Definitely one of the best pieces I've ever done. Comments and Criticisms welcome.

This is REALLY good! I love her gun, brilliantly drawn! Very well done,Sir!

Thanks. I keep meaning to get a version of this printed out (although likely the adjusted version). That's the downside to when I colour digitally - it's not on the wall to look at!

great work!! great to see this one finished up at long last!!

~RagnarokEOTW Oct 12, 2009 Hobbyist General Artist

Thanks (for the fav as well).

Although this is a good piece, I really need to get back the pace I had a few months back.

When I started, I had five pieces up in a week - and they were good pieces (particularly Excessive force and Not to her Liking).
Okay, one of those five was a (slightly) older piece, but I'd really like to get that pace back, because it's practise that makes perfect, not hesitating for fear of messing up a piece.

But my mindset makes that hard. Oh well, here's hoping I can do it again.

I know what you mean.I cranked out 8 pictures in 12 weeks and 2 since!!! lol

~RagnarokEOTW Oct 13, 2009 Hobbyist General Artist

The problem mostly seems to be concern about "messing up" a piece combined with a certain lack of ideas.

I had a few ideas I was "saving" for another occasion, but I suppose I'll be breaking them out sooner rather than later.

I know the feeling!! I look forward to seeing your next project!!

~RagnarokEOTW Oct 13, 2009 Hobbyist General Artist

I guess that next project is going to be either a "group shot" of my OCs, or perhaps the redux I'd like to do of this one: [link]

Dunno which yet.

!soxrule Oct 13, 2009

tough choice.The group shot would be pretty cool though
