Coloring Commission - SJD83 - Leon-A vs the Tree Monster

Here is another coloring commission that was made to me by SJD83 of a lineart that he had commissioned to “Boundpretties”. 

I would give the link back to the original artwork unfortunately it isn’t there so the only thing that I can do here is to give credit to the artist and link back to their deviantart page. 

This one wasn’t particularly difficult, except for the part with the vines.  Al those vines in different angles and directions.  It became quite the undertaking when it came to using my polygon lasso tool and marking out the areas for which would be colored.  But once the base area was selected I just held that and went through with  my brush tool and added in the shading.   Thus the uneven look, but I figured that an uneven look would help in the more organic look of the tree branch rather than make it look like some even piece.  That in itself would make the tree branch look a little too artificial. 
After that, it was a matter of coloring the tree and adding in some foreground effects that I had used before in a similar piece. 

I’m thankful that SJD83 liked what I had done with this as I am quite satisfied with how it came out. 

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

Coloring Commission - Leon-A Tentacle Attack

This is a coloring commission made to me by SJD83 with the lineart done by Bokuman

Here’s the original: Leon-A Tentacle Attack Lineart

After doing the last one that I did for SJD83, this one seemed to be a bit of a breeze since no background was required in the coloring process.  But then after I finished coloring Leon-a, next came the really difficult part: Coloring the tentacles.  In the process of it, I couldn’t help but think about the people who animate and color tentacles in both anime and hentai.  I started to really sympathize with them because of how much of a pain in the ass it was to get my polygon lasso tool into the lines of the tentacles and to get it into the right one.  Becuase just when you’ve finished clicking the right area, you soon find out that you did the wrong area.

I will say this, it was a good thing that it wasn’t asked that each tentacle be a different color.  Otherwise that would have raised the difficulty rating quite a lot.
