Me + Photoshop + Manga = Character Colorings!

[Richter]

So yeah, using all my basic, lazy skill, I've taken to coloring characters from manga in photoshop. I often do the canon colors, when I can find good examples of the lot of 'em, but for the most part, I just make 'em up. Not as good as doing your own artwork, no, but hey, it gets the job done.

Icon Samples:






Header/Sig Samples:






Other Examples:
Mifune, from Soul Eater, in his intro shot, re-colored to suit a character of mine from another RP.

Danna, from MAR, re-colored to suit a character I'm currently working on for a different RP.

The album all the rest of my colorings can be found in, for whoever wants to look.

And, when I'm bored enough, I even do requests, so, uh, if anybody wants their very own re-coloring of a character, I'll do it, though it may take time.

What I'll need:

Character Name: (Character's name, manga they're from)
Image to be colored: (Preferably a URL to said page; include preferred panel and, in the case of anything not Bleach or Soul Eater, which character it is)
Image size: (Icon (100x100), Header/Sig size, or just a re-color of whatever panel)
Notes: (Anything you wanna add?)


So, uh... yay! >.>

Nice job. I've tried coloring manga using photoshop but it always failes miserably.

I actually really like it, some people might say it lacks depth but I think that actually gives it an awesome artistic style. By utilizing just a few palette swaps instead of the whole freaking color board like some painters do it gives it a unique almost water color charm. I think it’d be fun to see you do more.

Ah, yer both too kind... and provided I get bored enough, them three or so pages might get more brother's n' sister's... it really all depends on a: my boredom, b: how willing my computer is to cooperate, and c: if I can stay awake for a full job. >.<
