Artist's Comments

I wanted to get in some practice for coloring and inking and I hope I did justice to ~jjakec 's beautiful lines. Not exactly sure how I fee about the background... I might remove it later since it was kinda slapped in there just to take up space and I may adjust the crop at some point. Anywho, give ~jjakec 's page a look, plenty of wonderful line and pencil work to look at!

Please give feedback on the colors if you can, I'm in need of some serious critique. Colors ONLY.

Awesome work on this. I hated how they did him in the movie, but at least between the opening scenes and the closing stinger it's a safe bet the actual Deadpool movie will treat the Merc With The Mouth the way he deserves.
:iconlizuka:
Oh, right. Colors came out excellently - very impressive job.
:iconjanaye:
Yeah I know what you mean. I love Deadpool, he makes up a good third of my comic collection lol. I enjoyed the movie inspite of what they did with him so I can't complain too much :)
:iconjjakec:
Wow...speechless.....It looks amazing.

Oh thank god, lol. I'm so glad you like how it came out. Was so worried lol *phew*

i think u mae a wise choice for inking and coloring because the origional gave you a lot to work with. he gave good shades and a strong set a messy but still somewhat present lineart that gave you room to play with it but still follow his pencils.
as for the work you did ill start with the lineart which i guess you could say is my particular bread and butter of creative slop and ill say this much: :iconimhappyplz: shows good depth in its level of simplicity but still giving weight and clarity to shape and form as well as even some tecture (a total bitch to pull off in lineart alone).
Where lineart left off colors picked up and gave you a good sense of light and color which, with light, can be difficult but not impossible, and color, which can be near impossible unless you work with inks of many colors or are a good photoshopper/painter/ etc.
Over all a good job and kept simple so that the character stands out with out be overpowered by the work/details/etc. which can often occur with my shit.
the only thing that i would say is lacking is the backround is a little simplistic but not distracting (so not a huge problem or anything) and a lack of texture which admittedly is difficult with comic book cahracters cause they tnd to wear...spandex...which doesnt have much texture(or that shiny pleather stuff again not much to feel out...). the harnesses and belts which look to be leather could have some texture (pretty easy to slap a leather texture from a picture something on multiply settings on photoshop or something)and maybe a metallic finish on the blade would have been a nice touch. and as for the small gleam you may have even wanted to try a very small lens flare with a lower opacity (maybe ill do an example...yeah im might play with it cause im a little unsure as to whether it would be a bit much...assuming you dont mind if i download this image of course...) oh and i like the fade on the smoke from the gun barrel a good bit...

.....how was that? D:
:iconjanaye:
Thanks for the feed back! Seriously I really appreciate it. I know what you mean about the background, it just felt empty so I threw something in there, probably not the best idea lol. Feel free to mess with it and show me what you come up with to better it :)
:iconjjakec:
You kidding me!!?? You have tons of talent! keep at it. We'll have to collab on something else. Just throw some ideas my way. if you want. :)
