Just a few edits/colorings I did today while I was bored.

Enjoy.

edited off the swimsuit.

Man, I need to find something else to do with my time.

Added some detail to that one shot from the FMP opening.

Edited the panties off this one.

Did I mention I was really bored today?

Anyway, that's the last one, I think.

Oh, wait. I also got around to shading that one Rin vector I did.

Also, I spent a good bit of time working on this Gundam Exia vector that'll be really awesome if I ever finish it. Shading everything with gradients like I'm doing with it is really time-consuming. Not that /e/ cares about /m/ material like that, though...

Well, I'm out of stuff I did today, but I do have some other /e/ relevant stuff laying around.

Found the lineart for this one on a Japanese OS-tan imageboard, and colored it.

A version of>>554401with blurring on the transparent bits, to correspond more closely with the style of the OS she's supposed to represent. I don't think it turned out as good as I'd imagined, though. I'm not sure this is actually an improvement over the other version.

Kinda like Vista itself, huh?

That Lacus image I edited ages ago.
>> Xen !2vGYxLwb5g
     File :-(, x)
A Meer edit I did a bit after the Lacus edit. It took a lot longer, but I don't think it turned out as well. I don't really like it that much, really.

A slayers image I started coloring ages ago and never finished. Not my lineart, of course.

a decensor I did. Most of my decensored stuff isn't really /e/-appropriate.

I like them all, they're very good, but you seem to draw/edit in nipples in a way I do not like.

I like something more like the pic here. Notice how there's more of a fade, the areola's smaller, unlike>>554382?

Not saying the way you do it is bad, just more of a difference in opinion. Very good job, sans that single complaint. Of course, if by 'edit out the swimsuit', you mean that there was only a bottom half, and that you didn't do the nipples there, then by all means, complaint against you is nulled.

Like so? Well, with the fade anyway.

>>554414
Much better.

Seems a little uneven though. Not like normal nipples are a perfect circle or anything, but you're not drawing realistically when drawing anime; that's the whole point.
>> Xen !2vGYxLwb5g
>>554417
Yeah, when I colored them, I did it with the notion that there'd be those lines around them, so the edges aren't perfect. All I did to demonstrate was to erase the lines and blur the edges. Give me a moment and I'll do something better.
>> Xen !2vGYxLwb5g
Ok, last try for now. I really need to be getting some sleep.

You see? I'm so sleep deprived, I even forgot to attach the image.
>> Xen !2vGYxLwb5g
>>554422
Also, I agree. That looks much better. I'm going to have to start drawing them that way all the time, rather than going for the fully outlined approach.

You've clearly got good coloring skills, but there's just a little tweaking to make it perfect. I'm assuming you use Photoshop, that's what I use. The areas circled in red are spots to work the blur tool a little more, you can still see remnants of the bikini in the shaded parts of her skin on her breasts as some parts are a little darker than others. Also, I suggest using the pen tool to create the boundaries of shading--the rest of the image has smooth curves of shading and it's a little jarring to see how it's kind of uneven and bumpy across her breasts; the green curves show how I'd have set the shading up. You can make a stroked path on one layer to be a boundary and then do the coloring on a layer beneath it, then blur as necessary and merge the layers. Also, the spot circled in yellow is where you might want to reduce the line thickness slightly and smooth it out with the brush or clone stamp, it looks like there's kind of a corner there and you want breasts to be smooth continuous curves. The key to a good shop is to not be recognizable as one, and you know you're doing it right when you start seeing it reposted in non-shop-dedicated threads as if it was that way all along.

The Naru picture and the Slayers pictures look great, by the way. For the Chidori picture I'd recommend studying the way breasts look when not confined by clothing--they should protrude outwards and have more of a circular curve to them and the nipples should point slightly away from each other. A lot of shoppers just trace over the line of the bikini or shirt, and that is why they fail--breasts do not work that way.

Wow, way for me to not read the whole thread before I reply. Much better (I'd still maybe tweak the vagina a little).

Yeah, I didn't really spend much time on that one.

And yeah, I know that's not how breasts work. But sometimes you just don't want to put forth the effort to re-draw something when you're shopping.

>>554445
better now?

Much nicer, and saved. Hope to see more from you in the future.

>>554923
You mean requests for coloring? I dunno. /r/, maybe. Post it here, and maybe I'll give it a go if it interests me. I can't guarantee anything, though. I'm kinda busy today. Not much time to be bored at the moment.
