This is actually a much older artwork, that I've had hanging round. Most of it was beyond help, however I could extract the main shape and try some experiments with it. I like how the color turned out, the interesting thing is that the colors we see in it aren't actually homogeneous, but artefacts of the texture.

This is a collab I did with a very close friend Alexandru Ilies. The original artwork is his, color work is done by me.
This artwork was of great insight. A few days ago I was inspired by Chris Scalf to do a general to specific aproach in coloring.
As I progressed some color tweakings were necessary. I really liked how the highlights worked on the strider, giving it a more organic feel. It could have been much better but I think it looks good even as it is. I also feel I could've done a better job on the eye. Still I acomplished the two things I set out to do:
1. Proove Alex's works can reach a pretty good visual level given some tweaks
2. Find out for myself if Chris's workflow is good for me, and yea it really works fine. Still I can't shake the feeling that I will have to customise it sooner or later
Work time was really fast on it (about half an hour) surprisingly it doesn't feel that rushed. In the future I want to try this color workflow on a vector lineart, we'll see how that works out.
