I am working on a print version of the Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan story Headsmen as promised to my sponsors. It looks like I should be able to do it in colour. Because Headsmen is only 11 full pages, I've been looking for a bonus feature, and it looks like the older story Alchemists fits the bill. Because those pages, originally published in Black and White, would end up becoming part of colour-printed sheets, I've decided to test if I could colour them in a style similar to that of Headsmen.

As it turns out, colouring my old, sloppy, crowded linework is a lot harder than colouring the clean originals of Headsmen, but not in fact un-doable. Took just under 2 hours to do, including fixing many broken lines. At various points, such as Atra's hair, I gave up using the flood fill and coloured the area with the photoshop brush, and I think the colouring has turned out the better for it.

Line art drawn in 1992! Colour done in PS 7 in March, 2006. Included in Digital Art because the digital aspect of the work is the reason you're looking at this now.
