Coloring Commission - Matthew R Humphreys - Sir Integra Hellsing

This is the colored version of a lineart that was done by MatthewRHumphreys as a commission to TedShekler.

When Ted came to me and asked me to color this particular picture, I knew that it was going to be a tough one because of the fact that the lineart itself had some small amount of dark shadings in parts of the picture.  The areas of the character that are the most dark are the ones that I mean.  But I accepted it because I’ve been a fan of the Hellsing series and I have colored pictures that feature Seras Victoria, and most recently Rip Van Winkle, so doing a picture that features Lady Integra Hellsing seems the most fitting.

The final part that proved to be the most difficult was the background. Initially, Ted wanted her to be posed on a wooden floor.  I tried several types of textures and pictures of wooden floors to match this and none of them seemed to have the right look.  So, keeping in mind the headquarters of the Hellsing organization I thought about giving it a more tiled floor look.  Thanks to a few tricks in Photoshop I had created a “fill pattern” of the tiled floor, tweaked it with perspective and here we have it.

The second part of this was that Ted wanted scraps of Integra’s clothing to be scattered on the floor.  So, going back to the original pictures of her, I used the green of her suit and tried to put about scraps of it but in the end none of that looked as good as I wanted and Ted agreed so we got rid of it.

And what you see here is the final result.

Note:  All character(s) depicted here are 18 years of age or older
