/pco/ - Promotions

I wanted to repost some text from a namefag named Was Bored that might help or encourage people to color some of these pics.

How to Color B/W images in Photoshop

1. Open up Photoshop.
2. Put the picture you want to color on a new layer.
3. Put the layer style from "Normal" to "Multiply".
4. Create layers under the layer with the picture, making sure the picture stays on top.
5. Make a new layer for everything (skin, hair, eyes, lips). Colors will show through all the white and grey and the black will stay.

I don't want to come off as condescending but it's perhaps the easiest thing you can do on photoshop for promotions. You can also mess with the brightness/contrast to get the lines to your liking and maybe getting rid of some pesky sketch lines or random grey. The main thing is coloring the right parts and staying within the lines, which will usually require zooming quite a bit for precision. Also be sure to pick the appropriate colors.

At the very least putting down some flat colors is a good start and I encourage anyone with Photoshop or Gimp to try it out, especially the ones making requests.

There's also working on shading and highlighting, which takes a bit of practicing and figuring where the lighting would be and how it would interact with the subjects. What you'd want to do is create a new layer over the part of the picture you want to shade and then hold Ctrl and click on the smaller thumbnail of your canvas pictured just left of the layer's name in your Layer's box.

That will select only the part of the picture so you can shade over it. Use a darker tone of the color and drop your brush's Hardness down to 0% and increase the size of the brush. The brush will spread the color out and only concentrate on the very middle of the brush's cursor, creating softer transitions from the flat color to its shadows.

There's also plenty of Photoshop coloring tutorials that everyone should take a look at.

Cool, I was wondering if this thread would return.

I also have a few tips, for the people making requests:
- Post the highest resolution you can find.
- Mention the characters' name and source; not everyone knows about your favorite characters even if they're from popular media.
- Even better, provide reference pictures where appropriate (screenshots from shows or games) or link to them if you don't want to clutter the thread.

For example, I know the characters above are from Avatar but I don't watch that so I don't know what their natural hair/eye/skin color is and I don't want to spend 20 minutes looking up their names, then decent reference pics.

Now post more requests.

The the first pic is King of the Hill with Peggy Hill, Bobby Hill, Nancy Hicks Gribble, Joseph Gribble and Minh Souphanousinphone and it was drawn by Pandora's Box. You can find his work here: pbx.wwoec.com

The second pic I believe is Mai, Jin and Song from Avatar: the Last Airbender. The artist for that pic is Vicente and his work can be found here: vilabela.blogspot.com

The character on the left is Rose Lalonde and here is a colored image of her to give you color schemes for her. http://th07.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2013/229/8/1/rose_lalonde_god_tier_by_chilensisboy-d6im2x6.jpg

The character on the right, with the large tits, is Jade Harley. Here is an image of her so you can see her color scheme. http://25.media.tumblr.com/14bfd3422bf5d83aad7cb6a00de1be1c/tumblr_mj32zuJrpH1ql3s2co3_1280.jpg

>>167840
That's how it should end.

>>167842
Yeah same with Frozen, I hoped for Elsa getting healed with a lesbian scene.
But the movie didn't even give me that.

>>167853

Here's the thing. Some things are fappable despite being soft-core. The third one is a lineart from John K. And those are skirts of catholic girls. So I was thinking if you could color it.

As for the first two. You know Penny in bikini and Gullivette from Dofus. Nuff said.

>>164429

Here is one that would be nice to see color put into. Here are the character references. Post was duplicated so I could not post it, but just follow the link.

Can we link to pics on other threads?

>>168271

>>161952 and >>161954

If you need references let me know.

>>167809

Bumping for dis

>>168284
That's all there is until someone commissions more.

>>168184

Just so you know, the original artist loved what you did here.

BTW, which program do you use?

>>168397
>>168398
You did a fantastic job coloring these.

>>167934
So, what with this ?

>>168397
>>168398
Great Job. My only complaint is that Molly(skullcap girl)'s hat is supposed black. But at this point I'm being a nit pick.

Can't wait to see what you do next.

>>168398
>>168397

Another Great Job !!!

Now if you could do this, I would be very happy:

YES!!!!!! <3333333

>>168556
Thats almost like the kind of hairstyle and outfit I would expect Cheetara to be wearing if Thundercats aired in the 70's...

Thank God it wasn't.

>>168553
Nice, keep it up.

>>168615
you're doing it wrong

>>168621
It is just for colors.

>>168668
got pug?

>>168614
>>168668
Cothordin, if you color this I will try add shadows.

>>168950

The artist is named pookie, he currently is on the WWOEC Forum.

>>168968
And so it begins.

You need account to see it

>>169557

Good job. The only nitpicks I can point out is that Tootie wears black stockings and a white t-shirt. But I do like the colors you made for Cosmo and Wanda.

And you edited Poof out?

>>170191
Yeah, I have the same problem. Bold lines are a lot easier to integrate since you have a clear border between colors.

>>170555
Nice touch on the shading!

>>170713
What the fuck is the motherfuckin source

>>171600
I love how with Zimmerman art you have to say what the character is because all his bitches look the same.

Huh, so I don't need to recolour that part. I asked because I couldn't figure out if it was the lighter fur pattern, panties, or just oddly drawn.

>>171600

ugh. disgusting. that shit-artist's art is always garbage quality.

It's like finding a really sexy porn star with a perfectly nice normal body/tits then finding out what she looks like nowadays when she decided to ruin her natural good looks with fake-ass boob implants...

gross zimmerman. thanks to your terrible fucking art style, we can now tell morons from smart people because the morons like your way of drawing recycled women templates.

>>173859
Marian and Linda are so hot, there needs to be more porn of them

>>174025
Thanks a bunch!

>>174025
What the fuck is the source on this magnificence? The lineart is godly.

>>174142
That's an old sketch from Idlecil.

>>167778
Anybody up for doing this?

Can someone please ink and color this?
>>173337

^Impossible...

Holy fuck... How?

>>174729
That's how.

Oh. Ok that's more like it. At first I though that it was edited by some based anon...

>>176435
Nicely done!

There's no coloring thread on /coq/, and I can't post gay stuff here.

Dag, yo.

>>176794
Just make one then!
For fucks sake...

>>176796
I knew you would say that

Damn, this thread has been out for a while now. I hope that someone takes my request and makes it happen. I would absolutely LOVE to see this image colored. It is Timothy Vadislaus, a male Lopunny with very large balls and a slutty Gardevoir. I want to this beautiful piece 'pop' with color. thank you.

>>176825
Who did it? I want to favorite that.
