Zet13 - Lacey (Shadows) Is Still Being Racy

This is the colored version of Lacey Shadows that was drawn by Zet13 that I commissioned of him.  It was a while ago when he was running what was called a “Toon Commission sale”.  The premise of which is that anyone wanting to commission him could only choose characters from “western animations”, so anime, video games and live action was out.   And given how lengthy my own list of ideas was, I knew that I had something in there that would fit the bill and here it was:  Lacey Shadows from “The Modifyers”  or rather “The Modifuckers” as was popularized by Zone-archives.

After the drawing was done, I did ask Zet to let me know which clothing items were which becuase it was a little tricky to tell what was what in the lineart.  And thanks to him, he sent me a version of the picture where the items were labeled.
With a guide in mind, I went to coloring her immediately.  With this picture I did a couple of experiments in terms of the coloring process, namely with the clothes, underneath each clothing item I added a unique shadow layer for that one item at a layer opacity level of 25% and filled it with black.  This in turn gave it a transparent shadow appearance but when combined with other shadow layers that had a similar opacity setting it gave that look of shadow layering where things get darker when shadows are laying on top of other shadows.

For the background, I had to refer to both the original and the Zone-archives version for inspiration.  And admittedly I borrowed a design from one of them.  1000 points to whoever can figure out which scene.  But the idea is that I needed it to have that “fabulous” or “swingin’ sixties” look to it and this was the best that could be done given the abilities I have.

Anyway, everyone, hope you like this one.

CallMePo - Near Zero Agent Xero and Lacey Shadows

This is the colored version of “Near-O Agent Xero” drawn by CallMePo as part of his “Pre-con non-com one-shots”.

Here’s the Original:  Near O Agent Xero

I saw it and immediately I wanted to color it along with Lacey Shadows.

The part that was tricky about coloring this one was the decision I had as to whether or not to leave it with flat colors like the original. But after laying down the flat colors for the hair as well as the skin I had decided to go my usual route and add shading to the picture.

I hope that I did as much justice to the picture as CallMePo did.

Next is a colored version of Lacey Shadows that was drawn by CallMePo as part of a set that was commissioned to him by KitNezumi

Here’s the original version that was done by CallMePo: Racey Lacey Shadows Sketch

I saved Lacey Shadows for last because I found her to be the most fun out of the Modifyers Duo.  When it came to the digital line art, the hardest part had to be the fishnets.  Even though it was a simple pattern, it is often said in this kind of artwork that the simplest type of art is usually the hardest to do.  But eventually I got it right.   Lacey’s hair was the second hardest because of how there were about four or five different colors involved in it.  In addition to that, there was the added need of matching the color of the lineart of the hair to the overlapping color.

I must also admit that I borrowed a bit from Zone-Archives in the picture of Lacey Shadows and Agent Xero.

Using the eyedrop tool in photoshop, I borrowed the background colors and applied them to my picture.  Some would say that it was out of laziness but, the truth of it is that it seems to be the most appropriate.
