Thanks so much. I do love the hair as well =)

So, I've been on a long hunt to find a colorist who I thought could do this piece justice when last night the original artist posted this image up from someone he knew who had colored this as either just a practice piece or a favor to him. And WOW! I'm really floored by how great this looks.

I've since contacted the artist about these colors, and he hooked me up with the original hi-res digital art file, a reference link to the online printer he makes his own art prints with, and I've already made waves to get this printed by them and then framed with the OA by my local framer guys to have everything done by the end of the summer =)

I haven't posted this to my CAF account since I don't have anything tangible in my hands yet. But I figured you fine folks here are professional and would appreciate my hype, and maybe would give me some advice/share experiences of your own in getting a custom print made for framing =)

I'm zero help with any info on getting prints made from digital files since I haven't made the trek into digital art. But I do want to to say, I very much enjoy this color up!

My only recommendation would be is to have the original linework and the colored art printed in the same size because it will make the framing look clean.


On another note - I do want to hear from those who have purchased printed art that is only digital. How did it go? How does it look? I love several current X-Men artists who are doing all their main work digitally (i.e., Russell Dauterman) with OA "AP" pages one-time printed upon order. I'm scared to take the plunge when the cost is the same as traditional pencil, but given its digital how do I know more copies aren't being made?!

It took a good long while, but I was finally able to get this art framed. It's my first inked commission, so it kinda looks outta place with the rest of my Lady Death art. But it's not that big of a deal =)

I didn't realize using the same frame for two different pieces was an option. It's kind of like a switchout, just flip the frame around depending on what version you want to see And it's cool to see the added depth and dimension that coloring can add, even aside from areas like the sword where it appears some extra linework was done for the colored version.
