This didn't come out as good as I had hoped it would... but, what the hey.

Also - don't comment on the KOF game/movie/novel/whatever-it-is - I hadn't even heard of it before I started this pic and haven't a clue. I only chose the picture because the pencils were by Stan and I wanted to do another one of his...

Well this one was a tough one to redo. high expectations for myself, the first time I colored this I got my first daily deviation. I'm not expecting the same success, I just wanted to have a crack it again to see how far I've come. my first attempt had a certain look, which I still kinda like, but I think this pallette is better suited to the character. I think this version also shows an improvement in my rendering.

Here is my first attempt for those who never saw it.

this has been a practice piece on my to do list for ages. I inked this over a year ago I think and just couldnt come up with a pallette that I liked enough. still not wowed by it but there comes a time you gotta let these things go.

the blue skin was a fun challange.

Gotta recolor something every now and again, best way to show yourself your still improving.

Flats by

This is only the second time I've used someone elses flats for a picture and again it was an interesting experience.

First off was that they were all on one layer for the girl and for the mask at the back when normally I'd have done them on a separate layer each. I know its not necessary but I find it easier to colour each component of the picture that way. At least TM does the lines as a channel and provides the background as its own layer so that was nice.

Secondly is just the 'connection'; with the picture itself. I find when I'm flatting, even though its a boring job to do, I'm thinking about each part of the picture and planning stuff in my head, making mental notes in my head and generally getting 'into the groove' so to speak. Using another person's flats doesn't allow me to do that.

Nevertheless... here it it is

New print for 2013 - Featuring Harley Quinn continuing the theme from last years' Capt'n' Ms. America and Blackcat.

I took a different approach to the shading than normal. I'm a sucker for cel-shade, it is the cartoonist in me.
I'll be making an effort to explore more possibilities with it as well.
Draw and colored by I: Corey Knaebel

Background belongs to DC comics and is Harley Quinn's first apperance in the Batgirl series.

this was a full color commission for of his OC " Tankette "

Light Sabers are fun to make.

hope you dig it.

...so I had dreamed that I would polish the absolute nuts off this thing, render it like crazystylez. However, a sick baby and a fulltime job and some other crap has completly exhausted me, and now when I load it up, I've lost my momentum, and I find myself bored with it.

Looking back, I like the sketch better

Ah well, I can only hope I learned *something, even if it isn't obvious to me right now.
