Many of the artists that I follow are on Patreon and one of them is the artist named Oni who does a lot of incredibly high quality NSFW type of work. However, one day while going through the posts I came across one about Squirrel Girl and I saw how on that post he had the PSD (photoshop) files to download. So I asked if anyone could color it and he said he was alright with it as long as he was credited.
Oni did initially color Squirrel Girl and gave her a background, so really the only difference between our two pictures is the style at which we came at this particular character. For me, I always do it in an animation cell style. But after I was done with Squirrel Girl, the real work was ahead of me. That being the coloring of the trees and background.
To help out with that, I turned to a wonderful painting teacher: Bob Ross. I essentially watched a bunch of his shows on painting trees and forests. Of course, ti is different disciplines when it comes to going from oil paints to digital but I imagined that the principles would be the same. And as things turned out, it was the same, even though I was using a mouse.
I just hope that I gave it the best justice that I could to the original creators ideas.
By the way, if you like this and want to see Oni do more, go to Oni’s Patreon Page.
