Vintage Coloring Book - colored by Ulisses31

[Ulisses31]

Hello Orgers, I was a little absent from the forums with some work to do and because of the many changes around here.

I have give it some time to see were this was going and now the storm is over I think, there was some kind of crazy extra activity but is all calm now I hope.

So lets end this lurking period I was in! And also I had nothing new and MOTU related to show.
Now I´m back with some art I believe you all will like!
I´m doing it to improve my coloring skills, this exercise is to make me faster!!!

I have 25 pages from an old 80´s coloring book that I´m coloring, the first one was the Faker vs He-Man, it took me 2h aprox to make.


Then I made the Beastman vs Stratos and the Merman attack in about 1h30m each.




My goal is to reach the 30min mark so I´will try to do the same kind of coloring in all of them until I get to do it in 30min, when I get to do it if any pages left I will do them in a different style and try to reach the 30min mark again... I believe it is a good exercise uhm? Oh and I´m doing one each day... Today it was Trap-Jaw this time I have made a screen capture video and my time was 56m42s.



Hope you all like it... oh we don´t have a like/appreciation button here... although vBulletin have that feature... ok just comment then. Thanks for your time.



P.S. For the ones that are thinking... "something is wrong with the colors - blue Merman? Blue Stratos Wings? Yellow Trap-Jaw?"
Yes I like variants and MINETERNIA RULES!!!

[Alexx]

Awesome! Save for the Trap-Jaw pic, those are all from the coloring book I had as a kid (and still have, actually). That's so cool to see them colored in with competency; my original is obviously massacred by my younger self (and also various other versions of myself through the years as I continued to color in it and write captions in the pictures). Well done!

[iron_pride]

Very well done, I love all of them especially Trap Jaw......

[Ulisses31]

Many thanks Her is one more!!!



The time I worked on it:



And a screen capture from Trap Jaw wip:

[Alexx]

That one always cracked me up! Even when I was a kid I thought: "...is Teela firing rocks from her bow, or does she just fire the arrows so hard that they explode?"

[Eternian Poet]

Great stuff! I love those old pictures.

Teela.... please kill me.

[Ulisses31]

Thanks for all the replies

Here is one more:



I´m not in love with the result, Battlecat armor don´t look the way I intended, but I´m doing it to become faster, next time I will try do be more accurate with the colors!

Much better time now:



What do you say?

[Cosmic Falcon]

I love your coloring style!

[Ulisses31]

Thanks I´m doing some commissions and soon I will show them, I have to live right

Wednesday I will be back to it stay tunned.

Check my facebook art page for more art.

[Maul]

These are awesome! Every time I see the old coloring pages, they bring back so many memories. I really need to print some of them out for my kids to color.

Keep up the great work!

[Ulisses31]

Back to party!!!

Who wants this version of Skeletor made into MOTUC? I don´t, but I liked to color him this way lol



And I´ve done a much better time today:



What you don´t recognize this Skeletor color scheme? Sad... I just can tell you that he loves disco sound and is ready to PARRRTTYYY!

[Alexx]

YES! Disco Skeletor on this throne of RAVE SKULLS. Let the party commence!

[Queen Grayskull]

Yeah man, get the party started! Great stuff, keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing your wonderful colouring style with us!

[Ulisses31]

I just can´t do it in less than 30 min... should I care less for the result? NO! I just have to like the way it gets so I´m perfectionist... damn... that way I will not get that 30min time...



So who like this color scheme for RAM-MAN? I like it

[He-Manis007]

Great stuff, but something I learned is that for shading on clothes and all, adjust the saturation levels of the COLOR you're using. It'll give a less plastic-like finish.

[Ulisses31]

Thanks for the advise, I will try it

[HarryCanyon]

Very nice use of digital coloring, i likes it so far.

[He-Manis007]

Thanks for the advise, I will try it

I hope you like the results

[MLHumble]

Wow- I remember most of those! Especially Trap-Jaw with the grapes! Nice, thanks!

[Niki]

Disco Skeletor makes a nice drawing but as you said as a figure, i don´t want him!

Is there a picture of Evil Lyn? I would like to see her colored by you!

[Ulisses31]

Thanks for the kind comments, I had no much time to get back to this practice, but soon some new draws will be colored

[Ulisses31]

Hurray!!! less than 30 minutes finally... just don´t know if I really like the result...

[Niki]

HA!!!!!

And of course you made it with Evil Lyn! What i can see on that small version, it looks good!

[Ulisses31]
