Description
NEVER!!!This lineart [link] has been pestering me to color it for about a year now. (My friend Razzie got to it first, and pwned it epically; Behold: [link] )So I'm taking at his word, and going ahead... Hope you like it! Check out his gallery -- he has a very interesting and unique style. I hope to get to color more of his stuff in the future.
OK. I tried some fun stuff here. It kinda messed up the lineart a little, because I can't control it nearly as well as the colors (Sorry, Xyxus!!), but I got out my metallic silver, and had FUN. I also did something else I've never tried before, where I used colored pencils extensively to outline the characters in red and blue. The scanner hashed it, but what else is new?
I'm in a phase where I don't want to angst and angst over the things I color, so I did not do a mockup for this. I didn't even start over when I realized I'd unthinkingly colored Prime's upper legs dark blue. Oops! I should know better! But I kinda like the way they stand out from Meggy's greenish-gray this way. You can definitely see the blue through the white colored pencil, but Imma post it anyway. (Again, forgive me, Xyxus!)
Yes, it did take me a long time to be able to color this without cringing. This is the best fighting pose I've seen in maybe ever for sheer visceral reality. The artist must know wrestling, or something, because I really don't know how Prime's gonna get outta this one... It actually causes my stomach to clench in empathic desperation.
Let me know what you think! Hope you like it. I really had a lot of fun.
Colored on dark bluegray cardstock
with Prismacolor Markers
and Prismacolor colored pencils.

It's an interesting piece. Megatron's expression especially.

Thanks.
I can't take credit for Megs's expression in the lineart, as I didn't draw it. But yeah - it is a cool picture. I was glad to get to work on it.

I disagree. But then, I've watched one line artist give the same piece to two colorists, and watch the subtle evolution of changes brought on by the colorist. The lines were good, yes, but you accented and drew them out with coloring.

Thanks! I was kinda going for flat and graphic look here. So I'm glad to hear it's working.
I'm really glad you like what I did with your awesome lines.

I barely noticed that Prime's legs were all blue; too busy being blown away by sheer WOW! The coloured outlines really add that extra... lil' something to it. Make them stand out from the background more.
And, oh man, those shiny silver bits X3 Seriously fantastic stuff, as always, dearest Prime!

Wwwaaaiiittaminute, I've seen this before! > [link]
It is indeedy a Very Funsome Picture to Colour, is it not? I think I can image what the coloured pencils must shimmer like in real life, and I agree it does add a lot to the metallic weight of you and Megatron kicking the circuits out of each other

I was totally gonna pimp yours as the first and leading and stuff, but I forgetted! It's been bugging me ever since I posted it, but it took me till now to get back to the computer and be able to make the change. Sorry, small pal!
(Yes, it was FUN... and creepy... to color!)
HUGS!!!

Oh no! I didn't mean that you, dare I say it, failed (since Primes are incapable of fails)
I can't believe it's been over 2 years since I did my version

Oh wow! Awesome stuff Prime! I think sometime it's a good thing to just let go and have fun with what you're doing!

MUCH bolder than what I usually see in your coloring, Prime, and then add that onto the in-fight pose! Now I want to see what the real, shiney version of this looks like!

I gotta be honest, I love it hard. Shiny Silver! Happy Outlines! (I learned those from )
Glad to hear it looks different -- I have been feeling very samey for a long time.
