My first ever colouring attempt...

Ladies and Gentlemen... For your viewing pleasure, Young Gods (written by Ian Sharman, pencils by Eziquel Pineda) OGN page one, coloured by Cherie Donovan. That would be me.

This looks really good and the combination of your colouring and Ezuiquel's pencils makes this look and feel just like I saw it when reading the script.

Thanks, Pete! :-)
I really am glad that you approve. As I am sure that you can understand, the idea of colouring anything, let alone anything by Ian, let alone anything with such details, absolutely amazing pencils... It's all rather terrifying, really!
I truly think that I managed it, though. A little bit of help here and there from Ian with "how to you do this?" (flipping and rotating was a difficulty :-p) but still... I'm quite proud! And very, very chuffed.

Looks nice :)

The shadowed trees aren't cloggy and the lighting looks fantastic :D

[geekcher2a]

Thanks! :-)

I didn't want to overdo the trees. A lot of people do and it just looks, well... Overdone.

I spent HOURS on this... I probably will on all the other pages as well, because I really love the comic, and the pencils are absolutely STUNNING (wait until you see the next page!) and very, very detailed.

Cool

Looks good to me, Cherie - be proud. All the colouring hangs together nicely and creates a lovely foeboding mood. Put more up for us when you can!

John...

:-) Thanks, John. I really appreciate your support, because I admire you so much as a colourist.
I shall do!

Cheers for the admiration. A little late, but the Spectacular Spider-Man (from Panini) on the stands now (with the Thing mask polybagged) was coloured by me - and I like to think it's one of my better efforts. Pencils by John Royal inks simon Ecob. It's been out a wee while so will probably be replaced by the next issue this week (sob). This was done on my newest Mac which I've left at factory settings and apparently the monitor is calibrated perfectly - hurray!

btw: I admire you too, because you're positive in adversity, and fun!

TTFN
John

It's nothing to do with the colouring, but having all the bricks in the wall drawn seperatley makes the plain, flat roof look very wierd XD
