I wrote “… my contention is that the machine is doing SOME of the work…” Not that the machine was capable of producing artistic work. I don’t believe most colourists are capable of that! I had been happy to continue this discussion because your previous honesty promised a genuine insight into a min...

Yeah, I think that would be something very interesting! Alan Davis unleashed, a little bit more avant-garde, a little bit more self-indulgent, a little bit different in many ways. :D When I say European, I'm mostly thinking of the French and Belgian markets, but not to forget the Netherlands and Ger...

This from someone who admits to being unable to tell the difference between pages inked by myself or Mark Farmer? :) Not every one has the benefit of an inker like Mark Farmer who is very good at bending his style to the subject. ;) Hmmm? I don’t suppose the fact that removing an inker from the boo...

First, your statement might be seen to suggest Humberto Ramos could not change his style to suit another genre if he chose to do so, which is obviously unfair-- But more relevantly to this discussion you are making a parallel between the colourist’s contribution and the penciller which I dispute… B...

And the WRITING?! There is no contradiction in what I wrote. A comic story published in black and white IS a complete story. If the story is reprinted in colour the illustration may be refined (or not depending on quality) but the story is unchanged. A rough cut (pencil art printed without inks or ...

I did get a bit carried away in my last post, I'll try to keep things a bit more focused from now on. It's easy to get lengthy and go off on tangents when you're passionate about something, I have to say. Comics are only a team effort (between penciller, inker and colourist) from an illustrative per...

I would hope it is possible to hold a discussion that may ultimately reveal a difference of opinion without degenerating into an argument. I’m very interested in how people perceive the act or value of creating images has changed since the advent of digital illustration. Although I believe it is po...

I really don't want to get into an argument with you Mr Davis, but I suppose it's best if I offered some more elaborate insights to my thought-process, so I'll try to answer as best I can, Mr Davis. The reason this became a contentious issue is because there are ‘colourists’ who have shown editors s...

Ok... sad to hear that Mr Davis. :( I will have to admit, that sure, if I coloured something of yours that I was really pleased with, I would probably have added it to my portfolio, online or otherwise. That's one of the big tips I've gotten from established colourists, colour the most awesome and p...

Yes, I really feel I have to ask, because there's just so darn many good pieces on this website. Many are nigh-ideal for colouring-practice, and there's two pieces in perticular that I would like to have a go at. Namely the Inhumans family-portrait, and the blown up Optimus Prime. Especially the Opt...

Looks like this topic got waay off topic...

So, while we're at it:

Paul Renaud, are you THE Paul Renaud, smashin' new-comer that drew those Cave-Woman Jungle Jam art-issues?? If so, way cool! You've got a GLORIOUS future ahead of you, if you keep that up.

And I just want to say thanks to Mr Davis and all of his associates! ( that's Matt ^^ )

Thanks for the print guys, that was a real good show of you.

If anybody else has gotten their print, then this is as good a time as any to let the good folks here know, methinks.

Well, I'll be darned! A double-treat!

Congratulations on both, man.

Oh yeah, you're right about that there skill

A big thumbs-up to Walton!

Congratulations to Greg and Zac! Ya' beat us fair 'n square. I would be very, veeery interested in participating in one of these contests again. It was a truly fun experience, and I got to try some all-new techniques. :) I basically had a look at your old colouring and tried to use similar, but digi...
