Thank you for accepting Nil'la and the Lepus to your Gallery, It'll be interesting to see how other artists color it.😉
As far as my artwork "Message in a bottle." Do I have to leave it black and white until the contest ends or can I finally paint it?
You can paint it and upload a separate deviation to your gallery. Please leave the contest entry as-is so that it can be downloaded and coloured by members of the group
Thanks!
LOL I wasn't going to color the one in the gallery..... Just the one I drew!!
Looking forward to creating more line art for yours and my own site...finding a new interest in creating coloring pages/books. One question for future creations and contests. Is it ONLY simple line art that is accepted for the contests/site , or can an artist add a bit of digitally painted gray scale shading to bring the images out a bit, as long as they're still the traditional drawings? After scanning the images onto the computer I like to digitally add a slight gray scale layer behind the original drawings and then flatten or merge them to one image. I won't add the gray scale if it's not allowed. Thanks!
Hello
Thanks for your question and patience while we got back to you on this! We would request you to avoid extensive greyscale if possible. A little bit is just fine. Please feel free to browse our gallery folders for a better idea
uh wheres the may subfolder for the contest entry folder are you going to put it up yet?
All images in our group gallery are free to download, colour, and post to your DeviantArt gallery with due credit to the original line artist.
Credit to @color-me-club in your coloured image upload is not needed, but you are free to submit to our Coloured Work gallery folder.
