Scotty Newton - All Round Entertainer

So for my second fight in Battle artist I had to colour Ubermorte's (http://ubermorte.deviantart.com/) Naruto lines. Ubermorte's awesome Naruto inks I wanted to have tone, but at the same time wanted to stay faithful to the anime style of Naruto. Went for extremely bright colours and then faded their transparency to make the darker tones stand out. Then I pretty much went mad with the Rasengan in the background! To be honest, backgrounds are my stumbling block. I avoid doing them when I can and this was no exception but at least I got to experiment with the crazy energy waves =) And here's my finished colours All in Photoshop CS5 of course What do we think?

Yes you did read the title right. Ben 10. My first fight on Battle Artist and I signed up before the subject was announced. And I get Ben 10. I have no idea what Ben 10 is apart from a kids' TV show that thinks it can replace Dragonball. Anyway from what I can see Ben is a shapeshifting alien. Or a kid who can shapeshift into aliens or.... something. Anyway I decided to go for a more realistic approach- taking a photo of myself and going back to Manga Studio and digital inking. Here's my first ink outlines on Manga Studio aaaaand the Photoshop flats and the first tones in PS And the final versions with slightly more 'alien' looking colours Will post when I see what my opposition submits!
