Artist's Comments

Some of the ladies of Wet Moon, a comic I've yet to check out but eventually will.

Drawn by the talented Ghassan Shanti. He's just got a way with lines that is just graceful, no matter what he draws.

Went for a more desaturated look with this one. The comic itself was originally done in inkwash, so I kinda wanted the same feel without making it look like an inkwash. Took some liberties with skin colour, of which I'm glad. It makes me more confident with the technique I use as far as skin is concerned. Audrey is not as dark as the original artist "colours" her, but I think I get the point across. Fern I wanted to be really pale and almost alien-like. Trilby, that's the first time I've ever coloured freckles, and I probably could've went crazier with them.

I also liked some of the color combinations I used, especially in Mara's bustier/glove. It gives a nice leathe look to it.

I'm sure I don't have the perspective right concerning the block the front row is sitting on, but I still kinda like how it came out.

I think Fern, Audrey, and Kinzoku came out the best face-wise.

Roll call: front row-Trilby, Audrey, Kinzoku
back row-Mara, Penny, Fern

Original lineart can be found here.

**EDIT**
Darkened AuDrey some so that she doesn't look so caucasion...

Critiques


:iconrcardoso530:
hey brother what up ...

listen there are only a couple of things that i wanted to point out for you...and before i tell you one of the only reasons that i point them out is because i was doing the same thing and someone pointed them out to me and it helped alot...

---> first is your really hard outlines on the right hand side of the characters for me personally it is very distracting. my eye tends to go to those lines opposed to the characters plus it also draws out other issues...

---> second is the black hair...to me they all look flat maybe put some highlights in to add some depth and maybe back-light the character in the middle with the black hair to create seperation from her and the character directly behind her

i also wish i could do skin tones as good as you because the skin tones in this piece are awesome!!! i hope this helps and doesn't offend cause you know i got mad love for you man even though you beat me in greeny's last contest!!!
The Artist thought this was FAIR

Not a problem! It's a great diversity of skin-tones and you managed them all with distinction! :D
