As I promised in the chapter thread earlier today, I have now created a lineart template for anyone who would like to colour in this moment. As a bonus, the speech bubble has been "disappeared".

You can find the PSD file attached to this post (includes the RAW scan in case the lineart isn't to your exact liking). Just open it up in Photoshop and away you go.

If you don't have Photoshop, fret not. Here's a PNG of the cleaned up lineart:



By the way, I'm also looking to create a new H&E skin this weekend using this image as the banner. If anyone does a nice job of colouring this scene, I'll be asking for permission to display your art in all its glory on the front page of Heaven & Earth!

Be warned, though. I'm extremely fussy. XD;

Anyway, have fun colouring!

Awesome, do your best everyone!

Hm... So I was working on it, got lazy, gave up, then realized something. Anyone else notice that out of context this looks like:


Don't mean to ruin a sweet moment. Just ... there it is.

.... you killed the sweet hug! XD

Get your mind out of the gutter. XDDD

Yeah, well, uh...

I just coloured that lineart up there for practice while Yoko watched me colour it for the lulz. When I finished it (some four hours later) all I got in my ear was a scary "POST IT NOW, RAR! D8<" from her, and, being scared for my life, I am doing so.

I implore Kishimoto to learn how to draw proper hair again. PLEASE, DUDE! It's getting hard to colour your stuff! D:

Uh, hope you guys like it. xD

Ooh, that's really nice work, Yonder.

YONDER That's amazing!!!!! It's beautiful!!!



What? We all know it's going to happen eventually.

Uhh...you mean YONDER right, Cho?

Yes.

My fail of work: http://i44.tinypic.com/rif80h.jpg

It's not epic, I know. D;

...;-; -cannot compare to the utter awesomeness-

i was thinking of coloring it, but then i saw yonder's and was like...oh.

i might try

it would end up looking kinda like the style of painting of my sig below (i drew and painted it). i'd spend more time on it though.

AS A FAN, I LOVE SHIP VICTORIES

sooooooooo I gave it a shot

Ahah I'm a bit late on the uptake here! Smiter, Thanks so much for the lineart! Everyone did such a nice job, Yonder your lighting is so pretty! Anyways, I took a stab at it.

I did this weeks ago... I was unfortunate to not have a working tablet at the time.. Pure mouse action.



I feel proud of this one, I learned from the dojo of a great coloring site called zarosaki. Just type it in google and bam now you have a lot of useful resources.

No one should ever, ever use Photoshop without a mouse. Unless you have a patience like a saint. Not only is it inconvenient and inconsistent, it also hurts your hands and that can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. I may not have it yet, getting pretty darn close.lol

I have a non background one if you want it.



Edit- I had to hunt high and low for this, but here I have the best tutorial for coloring manga pages or coloring in general.

Copy and paste these words, and go to naruto2.com

OH HO!

Nice job, Anewhope! Pure mouse coloringz is hard, found that out the hard way when I used to play around with Photoshop at school.
