Much better , I like this new Caska .

The look really good, the glow on the fairy makes it look really good.

The only thing that throws me off is the green hair, but it is Japanese, so i guess its ok.

Yeah, the hair was the biggest thing that worried me, i'm really not sure how to do it. I used this linked image as a bit of a reference, but since it is kind of pastel and the hair color is a really bland sea greenish, it didn't turn out too well when I tried it. Changing her hair will only take seconds, I just didn't want to change it to a more natural color since I know it is meant to be more supernatural (as from the reference). I might change the robe to a darker purple shade and her hair to something else, not sure though.

make the hair more dull grayish. i think that would work.

The one I referenced is an original coloring by the makers I believe, it basically is a drawing. Assuming it came from the offical source of Berserk, the colors should be correct, which is why I used it as a reference

Yeah, those are definitely the correct colors. Schierke's hair is in fact green, heh. Anyway, I think both pics look great, good work dude.

That glow did wonders!

Great pictures!

Post by **Gundam_Bobcat** » Fri Nov 03, 2006 12:31 am

I forgot about that picture. Also I think in the game she has green hair.

Adding some gray to it might make it look a little more realistic.

Post by **EvilDmitri** » Fri Nov 03, 2006 4:24 pm

As a complimentery piece to the Casca one I figured another starscape background would fit, so I whipped one up

The hair was a bitch >.>

Nice picture of Griffith.

I think that the tint of his hair should be gray or sliver, but it still looks great.

Keep up the good work.

Awesome stuff man, you just keep getting better

Now some Grunbeld please

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Fri Nov 03, 2006 9:00 pm

That griff pic is awesome. I like the hair, it's very hard to do a silvery tone in that kind of colouring, you would have to put reflections in there that are not in the lineart, which I can only imagine to be a bitch. The bluish tone is absolutely fitting.

Post by **Ash J. Williams** » Fri Nov 03, 2006 9:14 pm

Very nice picture of Griffith. I can understand the hair problem, That silver hair he's got is a pain to work with.

Oh I can do silver

however..

This is an original cell from the Berserk anime, where his hair has that slight blue tinge which I tried to replicate. It turned out pretty well I think.

The problem I was speaking of was the ends of his hair, it was difficult to determine which is a strand of hair that gets color and which is just an errant strand which would stay black with the lineart. I got through it pretty well but I could still probably clean it up a bit near the ends of the strands on the left.

You know, should you continue to do things like this, Miura himself might hire you

The only thing that bothers me are those purple sleeves. With that hue of green you used for cloack, they should be dark(er).

Oh, I never thought of her as black. I just used hocolate because it amuses me, sorry. I just thought she was a little more tan.

Thx

Grunbeld i've done 2-3 of, one of my first colorings was him but most of my early stuff sucked. I had major color pallate issues, which i finally resolved when i made a custom pallate with 100 colors on it which go well together, and i was still learning how to extract and color in layers. I'll do another Grunbeld and maybe a Zodd later, but right now i'm working on a set of the Golden Age Hawks with varying starscape backgrounds i've been messing with

.

Speaking of which..

Post by **MrFelony** » Sat Nov 04, 2006 12:08 am

i would love to see a colored backround

. or just a blank backround. it could just be me, but i dont really like the backrounds...possibly cause they remind me of a school photo backround or something

Contrary to belief, apparently, Griffith has very pale colored sea green hair. Well, really it's white, but it has that pale sea green tint to it. It's an anime hair thing. It all depends on the lighting, but if you're going to add any shading, that's the color you want to work with, so I think you got it right. So yeah, great colorings dude, keep 'em coming.
