Coloring Commission - SJD83 - CallMePo - Numera’s Tentacle Trouble

Here’s the colored version of a piece that SJD83 had @callmepo do for him.  Another in a series of Thundercats characters in some kind of compromising trouble.  In this case, Numera facing tentacles. 

HEre is the Original:  Sketch Commission Numera in Tentacle Peril

I had previously worked on another piece that SJD83 had done, a character sheet of Numera that was done by @bokuman : Coloring Commission - Bokuman - Numera.

So, using that as a basis for the colors, I went right to work on this one.  Thankfully, SJD83 didn’t ask for the tentacles to be in different colors or that would have been a real pain to do from a coloring standpoint.  Instead, I was asked to make it all one color to give it the appearance that it belonged to the same monster.  But still, in comparison between the two, coloring the tentacles took the longest, because I had to mark down which were the tentacles and which was just empty space. 

As for the background, it was asked for something simple, just a gradation of two colors.  But when I did that I figured that it needed a little more to give the picture life.  So using a little light, shadow, and layer manipulation I made it look like Numera was being held in the dark by this monster. 

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

Numera belongs to SJD83
