I got to looking at the Gallery of Heroes image of the Space Faerie, and I decided I wanted to try and colour it. I'd never coloured a sketch like that before, so I thought I'd give it a go and see how it turned out. And it turned out rather well:

At first I thought it'd be a lot harder than it ended up being, because of all of that glowy magic stuff around her. But I managed ok.

I showed it to Alex as soon as she finished it, and she was all like "Her hands are white..." so I had to explain that it was just the silvery blue magic glowly stuff glowing around her hands. I did that by putting it on a seperate layer and lowering the opacity. So I thought I'd clarify it up front before anyone wondered.

Also, I know I didn't colour her exactly how the already coloured images of her on the site would be. I did that on purpose, I wanted her coloured my way.

thats really good! i have coloured a number of the GoH images (including the soup faerie), but couldnt get the space faerie right. well done!

Wow Saph that's so cool!

That's beautiful! It looks like you colored it with colored pencils rather than a computer. The magic stuff at her hands looks wonderful. Nice job! *thumbs up*

That's really nice. ^^ You did a really good job of coloring it.

That's really good

Thanks guys.

The hardest part was the stuff around her hands, but once I figured out what to do to make it look right, it was easy.

I did it in PaintShop Pro 7. Using the lasso tool to select individual areas, and the colour to target retouch tool to colour.

That's really beautiful - better than the original image too She looks really cool like that, more magical and space faerie like =)
