Heres another scan..this is the actual colored piece..The prints, I went in and added some bells and whistles with photoshop...I would say its 95% watercolor with 5% of photoshop..can you spot the differences? and Yes Knight my 9 year old daughter colored the CF 1938 on anthonys side...

I'm guessing... no? Usually someone out there jumps all over these little things. Either I'm bumping this so more people will look, or for the answer.

I know the error, but I was told about it. I would probably not have noticed it.

Here is one of my favorite covers that I did..Secret Weapons...Notice how the colors run off the page, this was when they started that new cover format...which marvel copied for its ultimates line of books

As always the art looks even better than the printed comic.

I was very lucky that Bob hall had it with him at the SDCC a few years ago. Also lucky I found it before BTE.

Mike,

Can you please post a larger scan of the X-O piece you colored for Anthony? The one you posted is very small and I can't really see any details...

Chris

MADMAN · Post by **MADMAN** » Thu Oct 05, 2006 7:06 pm

hopefully this will work chris....

k_c_collectibles · Post by **k_c_collectibles** » Thu Oct 05, 2006 8:29 pm

That is much better! Now I can see all the cool stuff you did from your hand colored version to the photoshopped one.

I like the details you put into it including coloring the X-O logo and changing the face shield on his helmet to more of a transparent look. Good stuff!!!
