Can't wait to see it Rose. :-)

And here is my latest piece. Much to my horror and disappointment I really can't remember how I made my last colourizations. :-( I think I was so surprised that I could colour in a different way than I had been doing, and that I did it so quickly.... it's just gone. *sniff* I hope I can remember how to do it, because I really enjoyed trying something different.

Anyway, here is my old way of colourizing. :-)

Amazing colourization, JF! Especially her eyes and her lips are stunning. :) And I really admire the way you've colourized her hair. Great job! :)

I'm sorry to hear that you've forgotten the new way of colourizing things, but I'm sure it will come back soon when you work on your graphics. :hug:

Thank you Rose for your comments. I am happy to say, that I have remembered most of my new technique. Yay!

New pieces. :-)

I made these for the colourization contest on here. I'm planning making at least 5 of CB and then picking my favourites to use as my entries. As I have lots of time before the contest ends, I thought I'd give myself room to experiment a little. I don't really like using text on colourizations as I think it can sometimes detract from the picture, so I'm not sure if I like the text on the first and third ones. Let me know what y'all think. :D

JF, I really LOVE your colourizations! :) All three ones are really, really beautiful and realistic. :angel: Besides, I think the patterns, textures and texts fit really well. And especially the eyes are really stunning in all three pics. :)
Great job! I look forward to seeing the next two CB colourizations. ;)

(When it comes to texts on colourizations, I usually don't know what to write apart from the person's name, but your texts are really creative ;))

Thank you Rose. :hug: Hah, I don't usually know what to put either which is why I tend not to use text. :teehee:

Next Cate colourization. It's taken me 2 days to do this. :swoon: Possibly my favourite so far though. :-) Not sure whether to go for the matching border or not, so I have posted both versions.

Wow! [dies]

That is so pretty! Great Job! Also, personally, I would go with the border. ;)

Wow! :jawdrop:

This one is really, really amazing. :) All the tiny details on her clothes and her earrings look so beautiful! I can really understand that it took you so long. Great job! :)

I agree with smeagollum. I prefer the one with the border as well. :)

@ smeagollum - Thank you. :-) And thanks for your opinion on the border. :D

@ Rose - Thanks a lot. Glad you like it. I think I'm leaning towards the bordered one as well. :-)

Also, the second one I colourized in a new way before. Instead of hand colouring each section in differently, I used the various ways of altering colours.... something I wish I had tried before. I think Emilie is my favourite so far (bottom one). What do y'all think? :-)


What do you mean by altering colors?

Wow, those colorizations are simply beautiful! :drool:

and if you don't mind me asking, where do you get those wonderful patterns for the backgrounds? I can never find any good ones.

@ smeagollum - Well it's kinda hard to explain. I used to just pick a colour a go over the image in that colour, pick another colour, go over that, until I had a good skin tone, and then I might use guassian blur and set it to screen, to try and cover up the fact the skin tone wasn't quite right. But there are various colouring options in PSP which I have only just discovered and started to use (can you believe it!?), which allow me to go over the entire picture in say a peachy colour, and then using the various colouring tools, change the tone and shade of that one colour, so *hopefully* that's the only colour I will need for the skin, or at most one more coat and then that's done.

@ Kit - Thank you Kit. :-) Nice to see you around the ol' Fan Art section. ;)

@ Thankee Luth. Well I usually get mine from the Magic Box... but that doesn't seem to be working for me at the moment. I've just started making my own which I have just used for my new piece. :-)

@ Ms. G - Thanks for your opinion. Hah, I'm glad you like the wrinkles. I sharpened the image and they all came out, and I'm sure she wouldn't mind them being seen. :-)

My newest piece (which I'm quite pleased with).

@ Nurr - Thank you. :happy: No, I only made the pattern for the EW one, but I've just made 9 more so hopefully I can use them soon.

@ smeagollum - Aww.. thanks. :-)
