The Energon Pub

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

There are a few fan artist who are lurking about here and there
who have done coloring for DW in the past and now work on projects for IDW

PS - anybody else meanwhile?

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