The Fellowship of OZ

Here is another collab art tarde i did with It all started back in 2004 when aun61 drew a very nice OZ RPG line art [link] but sadly it was never colored, sometimes later i asked aun61 to do a collab art trade that i'll color his OZ and he will color my [link] and i have to thank aun61 for doing a good job coloring my sly cooper fanart, so the preassure was really on me now to do a good job for his OZ.

I really like how aun61 work out his version of OZ, i really like the Zaku mono eye tin man(how cool is that), a wizard scare crow, the lion knight, i told aun61 that lion does looks suspeciously like alphaleo, even on the original line art it was white, i love it! and i was a bit surprise Dorothy's pet dog was now change to a wolf (sized up) i kinda assume it's aun61 himself.

In technical term i also did some experiment on speeding up my work using toonboom for outlining and color key (more effective in keying out the color and changing them) And it was also a very rare ocassion i use 3 different painting style on one art, the tin man was painted with the same style like my APU project [link] as for lion and scare crow was my normal painting style and Dorothy was painted with anime style and the wolf was painted with fur texture style, I was a bit worry along the way fearing the style may not blend well together but the final result was rewarding.

Really have to thank for giving me the opportunity to color one of his work.
