Silas Zee: Optimus Prima Shading Test

Optimus Prima
Color/Shading Test

2009.05.21

Friends have been trying to get me to try gradient or soft cel coloring for a while, but I'm an old fogey stuck in my ways. XD

So I thought I'd try to color like all the cool kids are doing digitally these days, and like always Prima was my guinea pig. Not the best, but at the same time not bad for a first time out. I haven't really tried this since because it took me almost 4 times as long as it usually takes me to finish a piece (this one ended up being some 20+ layers in Photoshop). I know that I'll get faster over time and the process will become more streamlined if I practice at it, but dammit I'm just not that patient. ^_^;
