CallMePo - DaCommissioner2k15 - Camp W.O.O.D.Y. Bad Bet

In recent weeks, I’ve been in a financial bind, so I’ve been asking around for art commissions.  One of them was my frequent patron, DaCommissioner2k15 he said that he couldn’t commission me but after seeing this picture that was done for him by CallMePo I couldn’t resist and so I said that I would do it as a favor to him for his marvelous patronage. 

Original lineart:  Camp W.O.O.D.Y Bad Bet

From what he told me about this piece, essentially Kylie (Ghostbusters) had made a bet and had lost and her punishment was to wear Raven’s outfit.  A pretty easy piece to color, if I may say so, although the leotard was hard to do given that I was using the original Teen Titans version of Raven’s outfit and it had only two tones, black and the highlight so I had to tweak that a little in order to give the leotard some light and definition. 

As for the background, I imagined the scenario where Kylie was changing into the outfit at the GHostbusters’ station house and was having trouble getting into it.  And really doing a locker room background is pretty easy, especially if you turn on PHotoshop’s grid.

CallMePo - Happy Easter 2014 from Starfire and Raven

This is a colored version of a lineart that was done by CallMePo called “Raven and Starfire Do Easter”

It is almost along the lines of something that I had in mind.  Each year around this time, this commercial is run for Cadbury’s Chocolate Eggs.   And Because the “Cadbury Bunny” tends to cluck like a chicken, there were other animals “auditioning”.  Such as there was a pig, a cat, a lion, a llama and a turtle.  Each one trying to cluck but not doing very well at it.  And in the end they say “there’s only one Cadbury Bunny”. And I had the notion “what if this happened: a woman comes out dressed like a playboy bunny and says very slowly ‘Buck…buck…buck….’.   Then off to one side, the Cadbury Bunny looks at the camera and says 'Okay, I give.’”

But of course, we’ll probably not see something like that on television but that doesn’t stop the idea in my opinion.

Anyway, coloring this one was an easy task though coloring the egg was a much trickier one since I wanted to throw in the pastel colors that are usually done for this time of year.  The pale green, blue, pink and yellow.  So I did it in a type of rainbow pattern going form top to bottom.  Thanks to the layer lock that Photoshop had it did make things a lot easier.

I will say that I may be an atheist but I’m not about to take away the fun of this.  Anyway, Happy Easter everyone.

Kay-sama - Teen Titans - Why we came to Japan

This is the colored version of the lineart “Commission for StarDragon77: Japan” by my friend, Kay-sama.

It came about when I thought about that bit from the Teen Titans movie “Trouble in Tokyo”.  I admit that I hadn’t seen all of it but I’ve seen bits and pieces.  And from what I’ve seen of it, I couldn’t help but think of the fact that the Teen Titans would come to Japan and have to face some kind of monster with Tentacles.  And any anime fan that has seen a bunch of anime (particularly hentai) will know what I’m getting at.

And Raven being Raven would have only one thing to say, “Remind me why we came to Japan?”  And the idea was so hilarious that I shared it with Kay-Sama and decided to make it a commission/collaboration between us.

Coloring Raven wasn’t really that tricky, especially since I was using the original Teen Titans color pallet.  Though I did manage to come up with a rather clever trick of doing Raven’s hair highlights.  Simply take the brush tool and make it very very thin and then run it across the hair section giving it a little jiggle and then that’s how I managed to create the highlights.  Unfortunately, this technique can’t exactly work across the board.  It only works since there are no other bangs or hairlines in the way.

My thanks to Kay-sama for this.
