The scanner killed it, though I'm liking the way it looks since I used some Photoshop on it, though it still killed it. *twitch*

Finally the long standing request of is done. It was actually requested a few months ago. The point is to do a Faust the 8th fanart from Shaman King in a similar fashion/idea as my Color me blood red picture. I hope you like Champion-koga!

My favorite part has got to be the bleeding skeleton. I had to redraw Faust several different times until I got him like I wanted.....kinda. This is the first time ever in my life I drew the guy to be honest. I think I might have killed him in my style a bit. It was a bit hard finding some "good" Faust pictures to look at. I don't have up to the Faust's time in the manga. If I get the volumes I have on my list this year I believe I will be.

By, the way can anyone see a different between this picture and others I have done? Can't? The difference is that I did not ink before I colored, which I normally do. I was staring at this picture trying to work out a plan, when I thought that I wanted to try coloring it without inking. Of course being who I am, it's diffcult to go ahead and try something new but I finally did it and even though it isn't perfect. I'm pleased with the results!


If anyone knows how to mix skin tone colors, perferrably, light skins, let me know please. Or maybe you can point me a a tutorial. With the colors I had, I had to wing it but I'm curious to know, if you start with basic colors and began mixing what would make light skin tone colors that isn't pink.

Materials:
Watercolors for coloring
Photoshop Elements 3 for touchups

Time: dunno quite awhile 4-5 hours I suppose

Music: Shaman King theme songs, X-japan, etc...
