More color experiments

So I've sold the Cintiq and am now waiting for the new hotness, which is the ASUS EP121. This has put a month long monkey wrench in the production of my project, but I hope to have the new tablet PC by next week. I've made the change for mobility's sake. Even though I loved it, the Cintiq wasn't the mobile studio that I thought it would be and, hopefully, an art student in Colorado will garner some good use with it. She’s already told me she loves it.


To keep a steady progression, I did break out the old Wacom tablet at do some more coloring experiments. I think I like how this page has shaped up and it's not too much work to do it. It involves laying in textures and putting in colored layers in various modes to get a specific look with the color flats. The flat colors I chose weren’t just for wanding, but actual colors of the items on the page. I also played down the zipatone, which I'll admit that I got a bit crazy with in prior projects. I did use the zipatone here to render out tone a bit more. I simply took my gray-scales layer, zipatoned them, and then erased back through so I’ll have the gray-scales on one layer and the zipatone on another. The end result is me finding a quick method that I'll be doing over and over again for the series.
