Coloring Commission - CallMePo - Camp Woody on Call
🕑 Added 2020-06-09 15:36:46 +0000 UTC This is a commission made to me by DaCommissioner of a lineart that CallMePo had done.
Original seen here: Korra Katara Beta Squad
When I saw it and read what DaCommissioner wanted me to do with it, I knew that I really had my work cut out for me. For one, the background that was asked for was to be an alleyway at night. But the biggest challenge that I saw was in the holographic displays that Katara and Korra had. In my mind I knew that they had to have a glowing quality to it like any kind of computer screen. But because I didn’t have the font or any way to find out what the font was, I tried a technique of my own on it. The technique I had in mind was to use the font in the upper corners, copy them and try to manipulate them so that they fit behind the ones in the holographic displays. Then changing their colors to something bright and adding an outer glow effect would give the desired visual aspect that I had in mind.
Unfortunately, that part didn’t pan out as well as I had hoped. So, I reverted back to my old polygon lasso tool that I used for everything else and simply clicked and selected around the white spaces between the black circle and the text itself. Then I gave it the bright color and outer glow and that seemed to work as I had originally intended.
Compared to that, the work on the background was easy. All I did was lay down some brick colors, and use a “star brush” and set my scattering pretty far apart and did some splattering to give it the brick textured look. The same was done with the mortar part of the bricks.
Finally I did a black and a dark blue overlay to give it a nighttime appearance. However I did like how the daytime one came out so I’m posting that one as well.
And I’m certainly glad that DaCommissioner enjoyed it as much as I did in the challenge of it.
