Artist's Comments

“From beyond death has come… she whose name represents what she brings upon us”

Well, this second coloring work I do has take me the freaking entire week, and now it’s official: I HATE HAIRS! They are the worst part of the coloring!!

I hadn’t realized that in my previous coloring I had escaped plenty of things. Eyes, for example. So this pic has put at test everything of me, specially my patience and endurance. But I think the results are damn worth it! :D

So, the pic is about Shego, from Kim Possible, as Mayhem, in all of her undead glory, from a wonderful thriller fanfic I’ve read: “Death, and After That” ([link]), the writer is :iconfestum:, who also drew the original pic I colored here ([link])

Hope you guys like it. Again, your feedback is very important for my progress in this, so if you notice something I should correct, please point it out.

The smoke was easy. The real pain was the hair ^^;

Thanks for the comment. :D

As a frothing Festum-fan who's spent the last several weeks or so pestering the man through his DA gallery, I am flat-out gobsmacked by this full-works recolor of an already-wicked (if temporary) character redesign. That black-plasma effect is exquisite; the optic glow and illuminated talons are neat touches in their own right; and the effort applied to Mayhem's haphazard 'do clearly shows.

That noted, two nitpicks come to mind:
(a) the shade of darker green applied here is a bit reminiscent of She-Hulk, though that's damn hard to avoid;
(b) that horrendous wraparound torso-scar could stand some additional definition...it's a bit difficult to make out in this resolution. Perhaps the tissue could be lightened or darkened a smidgen?

Again, truly slick work.

Thanks a lot for the comment. It's really flattering to get such a good opinion, including the critique.

Regarding the darker green, well, it's stated in the story this is based that her skin was darker, so... it's not just hard, it's impossible to avoid ^^;

Regarding the scar, well, I honestly thought it shouldn't be THAT visible, so I kinda tried to make it look like something realistic, and Festum told me he really liked it how it is, so I think it's okay like that.

Again, thanks for the comment. It really means a lot to me. :D

Oh, I recalled that pigmentation bit from the tale...and on second thought, the shades used on various green/blue/purple/red-skinned comic/cartoon characters tend to overlap anyway. Not sure why I even brought that up. Your point regarding the scar is equally solid (and hey, if it's author-approved, who am I to harp?).

Glad to hear you're okay with it ^^

Well, considering Shego died by being blown in half I think making the scar unnaturally bold is acceptable :P

And so is acceptable otherwise considering Shego's enhanced healing being even more enhaced after being revived. :D
