Coloring Commission - CallMePo - Cypher3au - Fleur’s Second Thoughts

This is the colored version of the lineart called ”Second Thoughts“ that was drawn by @callmepo as a commission to @cypherthree

The premise of this one is that Fleur Delacour is having second thoughts about the choice of swimsuit for the cold Scottish lake.  

In terms of coloring, this one was both easy as it was hard.  The initial easy part was coloring Fleur, the dock and the tentacle rising out of the lake.  The hard part came when I was charged to creating a background.  At Cypher’s request he asked that the background look something similar to a Scottish lake.  so, I took my time getting the surface of the lake right, the hills, the coloring of the hills, texturizing and so on.  But the initial pallet I chose was green hills and a blue lake.  Thanks to my colleague, , she told me that blue is more appropriate for oceans instead of lakes. So I changed it to a muddy green type of color.  Thinking I was finished, I showed it to Cypher and then I found out that I made a bit of a mistake.  The mistake being that it was supposed to be a winter scene.  So, I needed to change it to look like it’s in the middle of winter.  Which would also explain why Fleur’s nipples look hard enough to cut glass.

But after dealing with the change and adding in a few extra effects, the pic was done.

Coloring Commission - CallMePo - Lord of Bones - “Fleur and the Were-Jaguars”

It’s been a while since I’ve had a coloring commission and one of my newer commissioners came to me and asked me to color this new piece that was done for him by @callmepo.  Upon first seeing it, I knew that the work was cut out for me but I went to it.  And thankfully Lord of Bones had provided plenty of resource images that helped as far as the coloring and such. 

The only thing that was hard about it was coloring the “spots”.  I essentially had to go in and color each one one by one in the appropriate color.  There is a bit of a trade off when it comes to coloring characters clothed and those who are nude.  When coloring clothed characters you can take each piece one at a time, such as the shirt, the pants, the shoes, the skin, the eyes and so on.  But when it’s the whole body like when they’re nude, or in this case, one full fur color, the challenge is that you only have a limited pallet to use but you have to make sure you’re putting the shadows in the right spot. 

As for the background, just a simple affair of stone walls and a wooden floor. 

My thanks to Lord of Bones for making this commission to me and to @callmepo whose marvelous hand created it.
