Thread "Color-artist looking for project(s)" in forum "Networking & Community Projects*"

Hey everybody,

I'm currently looking to assist in a project as a color-artist and/or shader. I'm also willing to do some one-time projects like covers, single images or just a single comic page you want colored.

Note: I do not intend to do any line work. I can, but I enjoy coloring much more and it takes me too much time. So, what Im looking for is some relatively clean line-art, preferbly done in photoshop, or at least supported by PS or with clear white background I can cut out easily. However, I can ink a little if needed (digitally)

Also, I highly prefer an asian influenced style of some sort, because thats what Im used to. Not that I wouldnt wanna try a western style, just not sure if I could.. and if it would look good.

Heres a few quick samples of styles I can work in. Theyre really quick and not very good, but I can do better for your comics of course ;) Pretty much, I can anything from multi-colored (4-5 color) smudge-shading to 1 color cell-shading.. of course I didnt include that many examples. I can also do black and white and a tiny bit of screentone.

Honestly, to show a more concrete example of what I do, Id have to hava page or image to work with, because the style I'll choose highly depends on the style of lineart and your wishes :)

So.. if anybody has anything theyd like colored or shaded (blacknwhite aswell), I can give it a shot so we'll have another better example :)

Please, Please, Please work with me! I am just about to start a new comic and I need a colourist.

I have some samples of my work here on DD but they were just experiments playing around with different styles. I also do colouring on a comic called "Whacked"

So I know what is involved and how to prepare Lineart for colouring.

You can check out my dA gallery here:

Anyway I don't want to tell you my idea here. But I will pq it to you if you're interested. The style is a bit different to anime/manga stuff but you never know you may enjoy the change.

I think you have a great colouring style by the way.

I was wondering if you work with me on my comic. I love to have your coloring technique and shading with my drawings. Let me know what you think of my drawing style.

Thank you both for taking interest in me :) I looked at your work and the styles are different from what I'm used to working with, which is actually interesting and I wouldnt mind giving it a try.

However, Im currently working on another project for somebody else here on DD already which might take a little time, I'm not sure. Since Im giving this my priority Im not sure how much time I'll have left, so, when I feel like I have more time to spare or if it doesnt work out, I can send you a pq :)

Thanks again.
