It's been over a year since i last added a 'color' image to the fredart site. This is not to say that i haven't done any color works since the Ping and Miho cover, i've actually done several (the Kimiko poster, the Yuki DPD, the ALA poster, etc) but it's been a while since i just... colored something. The basic coloring i tend to do (like you can see in the last colorwork, Ping and MIho) is a style that i consider kind of simple and straighforward - nice, presents the characters well, and is much better suited for covers than pencil sketches. :P I don't find the style very... expressive. For me it's very mechanical, and does little to inspire me to do more. That isn't to say that color can't be an expressive part of an sketch, taking it further than the plain sketch... doing that is something i'm trying to learn, to develop... something as much a creative expression as my pencil work is for me. The Kimiko poster worked towards that direction, and many other experiments i've done since also do - this is one. It's hardly setllar, but it does work for me, in some subtle way.
