A colorist?

Are you trying to be cute here by implying this isn't the right name for such a position?

Because if so, you should be aware that that's actually the exact term they use in comics for crediting the person/persons who apply color to lineart.

Beautiful Fury. If the whole Blizzard thing doesn't pan out you could probably make some respectable dough doing character portraits.

I'm not kidding.

No I was asking.

But I think Fox can handle colouring it. He's proven in the past he's not too shabby around photoshop.

It would take forever to color that properly, but I think furyfox is man enough for the job.

I don't know anything about warcraft, but that is an excellent peice, I like the detail on the Orc's face on the bottom and the ninja looking guy right/center is cool too.

He's proven in the past that he is, and since he's sending this in for a job I'm pretty sure he's already started on giving that piece some colour.

Soo we ever find out what happened?

Holy virgin mother of fuck.

I can't believe how awesome that is. It's so clean, and... just damn. Really good shit.

I have it all flat base tones in, which I typically find to be the worse-looking part of the process. Any volume implied by the lineart gets lost, and the color is too simple to add anything. When I get at least one character all shaded in I'll post an update.

Also, to everyone commenting on the cleanliness of the line art, well first off thanks , but secondly, I hope you realize it's not like I just flat out drew it all in one go. The whole thing was sketched out 3 times on legal sheets, then drawn in non-photo blue, then drawn with a 3H pencil (hard and light), and then finished with other pencils up to 2B (same as regular pencil). I also have various techniques for not smudging (mainly sticking a piece of paper under your hand, but it takes a while to get used to drawing while doing that). Once it's in the computer, things can be cleaned up further, and of course the non-photo blue underdrawing is removed.

Although it would be badass if I could just draw something like this without ever erasing, smudging, or fixing stuff with the computer.

The caption underneath should read "omfg 4 on 3, alliance zerg ftw"

I should probably add another shaman in the background running away the flag. And add a lot more totems.
