Title: Color Contest
Post by: executor82 on July 07, 2003, 04:57:02 pm: Welcome to the El Hazard Character Color Contest or EHCCC!

Here you may vote for the best alternative coloration of any El Hazard character you like!

Rulez:

1. Recolor one character at once.
2. There have to be three or more different colorations of each character.
3. you may suggest ideas to others to colorate a character.
4. You may paste in different things to modify the character.

Ok! Then let's have fun voting and modifying! ;)

So which color would suite her best?

Post by: kiddo on July 09, 2003, 02:44:01 am: This, my friends, is why I want photoshop... I should alter one of them skin-shaped clothes to look... flesh-colored, if you get what I mean. :E ::bricked::
Title: Re: Color Contest
Post by: Spanner on July 09, 2003, 08:19:25 am: Am I detecting a one-track mind, Kiddo? ;D

I have to agree that black-haired Shayla looks the best of the choices...

As for Ifurita, the black looks okay, but I think I prefer the blue-grey look in picture number 4.

As if he doesn't make it obvious enough. :P I like to think of him as a "hentai consultant" because if there were ever to be a "professional" on availiability or content types... ;p

Yeah, but that's so close to standard. ;) Where's the fun in that?
Title: Re: Color Contest
Post by: larewen_evenstar on July 09, 2003, 03:55:47 pm: Exe- 5, but she'd need to change the colour of her clothes.

Saucer- 1 or four. Mostly one.
Title: Re: Color Contest
Post by: Tsukasa on July 09, 2003, 06:13:47 pm: With Shayla I'd say her original hair then number 8

For Ifurita the black hair looks good on her
Title: Re: Color Contest
Post by: executor82 on July 09, 2003, 07:36:10 pm: It is hard to decide :P
I'm still between 2, 6, 9 and 10. All may suite her somehow. But at last I think it's gonna be 9. Looks kinda cute. But the clothes could use some modification.
I'll take care about it next ;)

Ifurita looks fine with black hair but I think I would take the #3. As Rob said before:

That's pretty unique.
Title: Re: Color Contest
Post by: MrWhat on July 09, 2003, 09:26:29 pm: executor82: Shayla #8 (dark red) and the ever-popular #2 (black).

Saucer: Ifurita #2 (red).

Here's another Shayla. Executor82, pardon me for breaking your rules, but this one picture was a lot of work.

Title: Re: Color Contest
Post by: Saucer on July 09, 2003, 10:11:20 pm: I was planning on doing a recoloring of her costume as well. Maybe later. I don't have photoshop, so I'm limited to what photodeluxe will let me get away with. ^^;

Iffy #1 is my favorite also. And actually, though it may be hard to tell, even if you saw the larger version of the pic I was working with while doing the re-coloring, her hair has actually been colored a very, very dark purple. But yes, so dark that it does look black.

I actually used the colors in her costume as the basis for the re-coloring. Makes it look like a spotlight has been moved down right above her!

I thought this WAS the original until I looked at link. :)

I do believe that #1 was very cool. I did look like a really bad-ass Iffy from Wanderers, like she might have looked when she finally got down to business with the Eye of God. No more Ms. Nice Iffy. ;)

Thanks, Gary.

I liked #2 quite a bit. It looked quite natural on her. I liked #8 also despite Rob's comment about it appearing too close to the original. That's part of why I like it. It's not quite the same but close, something that might have resulted from different "lighting." Almost makes the frame seem more closer to real life with the #8 coloring.

ROTFLMAO! Damn straight, Adock! Loved it! :D

Good job, man. Although it did get me thinking "damn it's been awhile since he's updated Mara's Worst Nightmare or HnA"...

Post by: larewen_evenstar on July 10, 2003, 12:50:18 pm: I didn't see the bit about Urd. No offence, but I don't think white hair suits Shayla. But it does remind me slightly of Urd.

Thanks Mark. Yes, it does sort of combine "the best of the two." ^^: Although I do love Iffy's original hair color the best. It's rare to find a chara with hair that particular shade of blue, and curly at that!

With the dark hair though, she reminds me of the "mysterious third Ifurita" we see in the fold out poster that included with the El Hazard Anthology Comic.

Post by: larewen_evenstar on July 12, 2003, 03:59:13 pm: I've done both Alielle and Fatora. But I've done one of Diva, but I'm not gonna post the one of Diva, because I want someone else to have the chance to colour Her.
Title: Re: Color Contest
Post by: executor82 on July 14, 2003, 07:27:47 pm: And the winner is....

black-haired Shayla and Ifurita!!

And a special award for Shayla-Urd! created by MrWhat!! ;)

New artwork in progress and coming soon ;)

Okay, which one? And, can I post my Fatora one, or does someone else wanna do Fatora?

I don't know where the original went, sorry.
Title: Re: Color Contest
Post by: Captain Southbird (EHOL Creator) on July 15, 2003, 08:35:32 am: Actually, those all look pretty neat; I'll just go with brown hair because it's weirdly regular. ;p
Title: Re: Color Contest
Post by: executor82 on July 15, 2003, 10:19:29 am: I like the red one and the green one. But in the end I think that I would choose #3.
Title: Re: Color Contest
Post by: larewen_evenstar on July 15, 2003, 11:42:34 am: Personally, I'd choose 1 or 2.
Title: Re: Color Contest
Post by: MrWhat on July 15, 2003, 07:01:26 pm: Lar: Alielle #1 (brown). Agree with Rob, for the same reason ;D
Title: Re: Color Contest
Post by: Spanner on July 15, 2003, 11:22:08 pm: I gotta go with brown-haired Alielle. It just seems to go well with her eyes.

Of course, her eyes in this picture are a slightly different shade from Alielle's usual. Normally, they're much more purple. ^_^ I'd probably have to say that the red hair goes better with Alielle's normal eye color.
