Question about Dreamwave Coloring/Shading Style

Postby Lemonymous » Fri Jul 13, 2007 3:16 pm

Hey all:

I've been looking around the boards and on other websites for an answer to this question and i'm not having a lot of luck. I'm hoping someone knows the answer directly or knows where I can find it.

I'm a big fan of Dreamwave's Cinematic coloring style, and I'm looking to find out how they did it. My group and I that are currently working on a series of comic books are very interested in doing ours in the same style, as it looks almost as if it came direct as a screen shot from a high-budget animated movie. We want something that feels epic and broad like that.

If anyone has any advice or thoughts, I'd much appreciate it. I do realize that it requires certain software but we have a lot of that. We just don't know how best to utilize it.

Thanks!
Ender

who have done coloring for DW in the past and now work on projects for IDW

One of your best bets is Espen Grundetjern (aka Crosswire on most TF forums). He was the colourist for the G1 ongoing series...
