Mackie85 - Bowsette Tanned

 

Continuing the series of line arts that I've colored of mackie85, here we have Bowsette.  I know I'm really late to the party when it comes to Bowsette, but I had wanted to color this piece for a long time. 

Here is the original line art:  Mackie85's Bowsette Line Art

Mackie85 - Princess Daisy colored

 Here we have a new colored line art of one of the many line arts done by the marvelous Mackie85

Here's a link to the original; Princess Daisy Lineart

After coloring Princess Daisy, I did want to do the same thing that Mackie85 did with their background but I wanted to do something different.  Namely, I didn't want to do the box that she was sitting on in the pic that Mackie85, so I went with one of my favorite symbols in Mario; the star.  And anyone whose played Super Mario Bros, especially the original ones knows that when you get the star, that's when the real fun starts because you can just mow through your enemies without any worry.

Mackie85 - Vampirella pin-up colored

 

In continuing to color the line art of great artists, here we have a piece drawn by Vampirella drawn by Mackie85.

Here's the original:  Vampirella Linework

In coloring her, I didn't want to follow the original colored piece exactly, but I wanted to do it the way I would.  Though there were some pieces that I wanted to add in, such as the little shadow to the inside of the thighs there.  In working the rest of it, I had an idea for two types of backgrounds.  The first, is this one where it's a pin-up style where there's a little more focus on the model.  However, I do have a second one but, that one is going to be over at my Patreon.

Makie85 - Easter pin-up 2021

 Happy Easter Everyone. 

Here we have a colored version of an Easter pinup done by http://mackie85.deviantart.com

Here's the original:  https://www.deviantart.com/mackie85/art/Easter-Pinup-2020-Linework-837262898

This was a piece that I'd been wanting to do for months.  The reason goes all the way back to the Cadbury bunny Easter commercial where it showed different animals trying out for the role.  Each one having on rabbit ears and trying to cluck.  Yet, I saw that and always had this idea of a woman dressed like a Playboy bunny coming out and reading from a script and being very sultry in reading the lines, "cluck.  Cluck.  Cluck."  And then at her feet is the Cadbury bunny saying, "Okay, I give up." 

Closest one who had done anything like that is Mackie85 here and I thank them for it. 

I've done other versions of this, different colors, backgrounds, etc. 

If you want them all, go to my Patreon:  patreon.com/stardragon77

Thank you, Mackie85 for this line art and the opportunity to color this. 

Mackie85 - Happy Saint Patrick's Day

 

Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone.  

I wanted to do more holiday pieces and so I found this line art from Mackie85 whom I asked if I could color, they said yes and sent me the line art. 

Here is the original:  St. Patrick's Day 2015

In the course of coloring this piece, I also recorded my progress with it and I am uploading the video with a very lovely song as a backdrop for it in the background.  

I do have other versions of this at Patreon, so if you want to see what else I've done with it, head over there to see it:  Stardragon77's Patreon

Mackie85 - LucyKitten Request

 

 

Normally, I don't do requests, but this idea seemed pretty easy and I did want to take on something that I hadn't done before. 

It was over at newgrounds where I was approached by LucyKitten who requested a piece be done based on one of the images that they had. 

So, with that, I contacted :iconmackie85: and had them draw it up. It did take a while what with Covid and all that but once it was done, it was up to me to color it. Then again, a lot of things were going on what with the end of the year and the holidays and such. But once I was done, LucyKitten liked what they saw and that's that. 

thank you, :iconmackie85: for your work on this. 

If you like this piece and want to see more, please consider commissioning me or become a patron at my Patreon.

Mackie85 - Witchy Halloween

I know!  I know!  I’m a month too late for Halloween or anything like that but I do love this piece of work that Mackie85 did so I couldn’t help but apply my own skills of coloring to it.


Here’s the Lineart:  Witchy Lineart

And here’s the colored version of it: Happy Halloween 2017

I did use his original color pallet for this one but I added my own shading to it in order to five it a little more depth and visual volume.  but once I was done with it, I felt that there was so much more that could be done to it.  With that in mind I set to making different skin tones for the picture ranging from pale to dark.  If you want to see the rest of it, then you’ll have to go to my Tumblr blog to see the rest of it.

My thanks to Mackie85 for the work that he’s done.

Happy Easter 2017

I did always want to do something like this for Easter and as it turned out, @mackie85 over at DeviantArt, had done such a pinup as a lineart.  So I leapt at the chance to color it. 
Original Lineart:  Easter Pin-up 2017 LInework
Just like so many of Mackie85′s wonderful artwork, it was so wonderfully simple to color.  My thanks to him again and happy Easter to everyone. 

Mackie85 - Princess Peach Pinup Colored

A while ago, one of the artists that I watch, Mackie85 had posted a new lineart that immediately caught my eye.

This was the lineart:  Peach Princess Lineart

A pinup of Princess Peach.  I immediately wanted to color it, but I couldn’t get to it right away because I had coloring commissions that needed to be done.

By the time I was ready to do this one, Mackie85 had already done his own colored version of the picture:  Princess Peach.

I liked it but in doing my own, I wanted to do things differently.  So, I did use the colors he used as a guide but I went in a different direction as far as shading as well as a background.  Such as what I wanted to do for the background was do a small nod to the original, the first Super Mario Bros game, where Mario comes in and rescues Peach.   So, using that, I laid down the grid work for the bricks that many of us are familiar with when it comes to World 8.  And using a pixelated font, I threw in those lines in the background that many of us had seen Peach speak:  "Thank you, Mario!  Your quest is over.“  How many of us were cheering when we finally beat the game?

Anyway, I left the top bricks the same but the bottom, I wanted there to be a sense of depth to her rather than her just sitting in an empty space with the 8-bit background behind her.  If that makes sense.

Hope you all like this.

Mackie85 - Pin-up Vanessa Colored

Since I had colored one of Mackie85′s pieces before; Princess Daphne Colored, I decided to try my hand at a few other linearts that Mackie85 had done. 

The one that caught my eye were these two:  Pin-up Vanessa lineart version 1 and PIn-up Vanessa Lineart version 2. 

Of course, with Mackie85′s permission, I went ahead and did it.  Thankfully, it was a pretty easy piece to do.  And since there wasn’t that much difference in the lineart, all I had to do was overlay one version of the lineart over the colors that I had laid out. 

So I’d like to thank Mackie85 for allowing me the opportunity to color this.  Thanks much. 

Mackie85 - Princess Daphne

This is the colored version of a picture that I came across a while ago while I was looking for more linearts to color.

In case you don’t know who this is, her name is “Princess Daphne” and she appears in the video game (By Don Bluth) called “Dragon’s Lair”.  Don Bluth, some of you might know, is the animator who was responsible for such wonderful films as “An American Tale”, “The Land Before Time”, “The Secret of NIHM” and “Titan A.E.”

Here’s the original lineart:  Princess Daphne Pin-up Linework
Coloring Daphne wasn’t too tricky, although I admit that I borrowed a little as far as the color pallet goes from a couple of sources.  First from the original screen caps from the game as well as some from ’s design.

The colored version from Makie85 shown here:  Princess Daphne Pin-up

Admittedly I know that in my version there isn’t the glittering sheer in my own version of Daphne but given that there were no lines for it, I decided to basically make this, or at least chalk it up to her wearing the dress from Dragon’s Lair 2 which didn’t have the glittering sheer fabric to it.

As far as the background goes, I admit that I borrowed the inspiration for it from Mackie85’s red, orange and yellow color scheme but I added a little more to it such as the bubble that imprisons the princess as well as dashes of purple to give the background some contrast.  Hope all of you like this picture as much as I did in coloring it (aside from the times when Photoshop crashed on me).
