rplatt - Brandy skinny-dipping

Published:

Description

Pencils & inks: the illustrious :iconrplatt:
Original piece: [link]
Coloring: me

Ladies and gentlemen, Brandy Carter, sweetheart of Liberty Meadows . . . the girl of my dreams. :)

When I first saw the original piece, I literally gasped and said, "Wow!" Russ portrayed so well Brandy's sweetheart-ness as well as her beauty and shapeliness. On the one hand, she's naked, baring her loveliness entire; on the other hand, her shy smile underscores her sweetness of character. I find it both inspiring and heart-warming.

I love this piece and appreciative Russ's creating it so much that I really want to color it as best I can. That said, I'd love to read your comments, and please let me know of any way in which you think I can improve this coloring. Also, I look forward to seeing what other colorists (that is, colorists more skilled than I) do with this piece.

Sincerely,
Dietrich

P.S. In this instance, it's funny that swimming nude is called "skinny-dipping", cuz Brandy is not per se skinny -- in fact, she's un-skinny all the right places. ;)

EDIT: Finally, the v1.1 of this coloring. :D

OK, at the risk of coming across as pervy, this is a far superior job when it comes to pubic hair creation. That's not coloring...there is no pubic hair in the line art (at least not the one I saw). So the hair is from scratch. And...well...it LOOKS like pubic...HAIR. Not some triangle. Not a vague blob. But hair. With realistic, wet flow appropriate for somebody coming out of the water. Pubic hair is hard. Most colorists, understandably, will not even try to add it if it's not there to start with. Even compared to your other two versions of this same work, this is a superior job. Thanks for sharing.
