Whatya think?

[Jasen Smith]

I know the bottom page should be desaturated more. But I love the smoke effects!

[Necromancer XI]

the xmen pic looks really flat, could use alot more work, and the bottom panel of the page; i think the face should be lit up green by his eyes
but the rest of the page looks nice
take care

The first one isn't finished yet...only NC, X23 are done, rest of it is incomplete.

[Phillup]

Man, I can't get over how awesome these are. The coloring on that X-men is exceptional and I wish you would have been around to color that Giest comic.

[Miguel Marques]

In mine visao the these half incomplete works and the colors bases that used particularly in the skin I found dark.
But my opinion is alone.

[Jasen Smith]

Man, I can't get over how awesome these are. The coloring on that X-men is exceptional and I wish you would have been around to color that Giest comic.

HAHA I was around, but you wanted a lighter blue for his jacket and his eye color didn't match the panels.

I think you made the better choice. :D

I did get better since then. When I asked for the Xmen one from you I had no idea you were the same guy that asked me to color Giest. When I visited your gallery from you FF4 pic I noticed you were that guy. (Thought I recognized the noses.) Love your style and keep it up.

[Phillup]

Aww man, I remember all that. But to be honest, I had no say in the coloring process. The writter took care of all of that. What's funny is, I didn't even get to see the colored pages until months later when it was published. I had to buy a copy of the book just to see the pages colored.

Anyways, you were good then and you've gotten considerably better. Very unique coloring atmosphear.

[Jasen Smith]

Thanks man! Your art is very fun to work on for me.

Maybe someday we can collaborate on something. :D

[Jasen Smith]

More progress on the Xmen.

This is coming along nicely. Doing a great job of matching the color intensity to the linework's subdued nature.

[Jasen Smith]

Im having trouble deciding on the background...Im thingk of some custom brush texture...what do you think?

Kinda like a streigerwald background

[Necromancer XI]

i like the background just like that, but i always like gray backgrounds,
nice works on the xmen pic, it doesnt look very comicish but quite traditional actually, i mean to say thats its not overexagerated! :cool:
keep up the good work
take care

The zombie pic is really cool, and the X-men page is getting better and better per the update. I think you could, and should, go further with the X-men picture, filling in more detail for those background characters and considering the secondary lighting caused by Psylocke's energy.

[Jasen Smith]

Here it is I think...let me know what you think. One is more blue and has more contrast...is it too much?
