CallMePo - Greek Style Colored

To keep my coloring skills sharp, I had been looking for other linearts to color.  Among them were some of the commissions that were made to by CallMePo by Cypher3au . I had asked him if there were any that he didn’t mind having colored and there were some that were already colored and he sent me some of the high resolution pictures.  Among them were some more Power Girl/Wonder Woman pieces.

Here’s the original:  Greek Style Lineart

I often heard stories about how in Ancient Greece physical workouts were done nude and that it was also in Greece where oil wrestling had first originated.  So, with that in mind I began to try to see what I could do with this piece.  Everything was pretty easy given the other pieces I had done for Cypher3au that involved Wonder Woman and Power Girl.  But the thing that made this one the trickiest was the fact that there was going to be a lot of sharp highlights thanks to the oil.  So there had to be more detail thrown in there.

After it was done, I set my sights on the background.  My first instinct was to go with a locker room which was pretty easy to do, just needed to set up the lockers, combine the layers and skew it a little to give the illusion of depth.

I then sent it to Cypher3au and he told me that his initial idea was that they would be in the arena on Themyscira (Wonder Woman’s homeland) but he then said that the idea of them doing this in the locker room of the Justice League watchtower was just as titillating.

So, I’m rather happy how this turned out and it gave me a chance to stretch a little in terms of skill.
