So like... I made a blog devoted to edited manga/manga caps. I thought I'd get someone interested in it, or at least to join tumblr and explore it. Not my best work... but you'd be surprised at how much you can edit when you're bored 

And lawls... BB!

I'm wondering if maybe someone can help make a challenge for me. I'm always editing plain characters. With normal hair color. Before... I remember on myspace, when people rp, they had amazing detailed characters. Please dare me to edit a character for you (you are don't need to save it). In short... come up with an appearance (M or F) and I will edit it. Then I'll post it here, and you can rate it, and maybe critique. Tell me if it looks better than you expected, or way off than what you wanted and that it sucks.
Example;
Hair: Black with white strips
Eyes: L:Red R:Black
Skin: Gray
Detail: Add stitches in, make her outfit have a red/black/white theme, blah blah blah.

The purpose is that I want to get used to doing details. It helps a lot after you compile the experience.

  wow these are better than mines. XD Lol its really cute.  You should have been an artist staff. D: LOL I'm the only one atm. The previous artist left. D:

Aw really? When I normally I apply I normally go into artist/editor since I have 7 years experience with PS. I'm not sure why I'm not an artist in this group either ;_; Hire me? 

[Ryu]

lol
OF COURSE WE'LL ACCEPT YOU AS AN ARTIST.
I think you need to either email Lily or Xye...

[Renny]

those are really awesome!!!

I want to see if you can take that first picture and give her a colourful dress and giver her hair funky colours and make the flowers match the dress... 

[Janni]

Matching colors?! Challenge accepted  Though I can always find a new image and see if it matches what you're thinking of.

[Renny]

sure do that... you wanted a challenge so I gave you one 

[Janni]

Can you be more specific on color detail? 

[Renny]

um... put in three or more colours in the dress and then choose a colour and put streaks of it into the the hair
something like this... only neater (I did this in five minutes so ja its not neat)

[Janni]

You turned her into a samba turkey  using gradients would be kinda cheating hmm... 

[Renny]

It was just an example... Use colours that work better with each other and then add in the shadeing...

[Janni]

3 colored dress and hair with a different color streak o:
thank god the hair turned out so much better than I had hoped for  though the top leaves me speechless...

[Renny]

now take that picture a step further... in the hair change the black or white to another colour

[Janni]

Finding a color to match the dress and the white hair was hard o.o

[Renny]

  looks great... how do you colour?

[Janni]

I really want to get a tablet so I could get used to editing with sai. I use the poly lasso and then loop-dee-doo around c: but I'm trying to work on coloring in white on manga scans without having it look weird.

[Renny]

how do you mean colouring white?

[Janni]

Um... you know how I colored her hair black and white? I didn't want to make it 100% opacity, because I wanted to show the strands in the hair. But I didn't want to go in and erase the messy clump of gray that was shaded in. Ohhhh. Leveling it would work if I selected it right? quick mask and what not 

[Renny]

i get you are saying now... when I colour I use my cleaned pictures or use masks it makes it easier

[Janni]

I'm really surprise your sig doesn't get resized. Mine always does -_-
