The first take by you I saw is on one Marvel abandoned Emma Frost cover lineart, from Randy Green. You did two versions of it.
But how on earth do you manage to get so many copyrighted (plus published!) linearts ??
Didn't have problems with companies or pencillers ? (I mean, you're hugely represented on the net !)
Of course at first you need to know who has the lineart and so you need to track down the pros on the internet which takes work. Most have a website or blog of some sort somewhere but deviantart is also a good place to start!. Then assuming you can get a valid email address for them, you ask (nicely) if they can supply some high res stuff for you to colour. Then it's a matter of sitting back and waiting and hoping for the best. Some are terrific at this, others will reply and say no (usually politely) and others won't reply at all... so it's all hit and miss.
Then the most important step - you give full credit to all involved - pencillers, inkers and the guy who supplied the lineart for you, saying thank you to them. That shows your appreciation.
But if your looking for something to colour then there's a pile of high res lineart on my own website --> [link] It's good enough for colouring online but too small for printing.
Of course you have to precise -even put forward!- all the credit to the concerned people !
I somewhat like your colorings and know that indeed you follow this basic respectful rule but still, I was wondering about your website in fact : are you granted the right to upload the original (untounched) linearts ?? It really surprises me (because besides a good part are published covers)...
Again, pretty nice work still !
Sucker for Lara.
Thanks for sharing.
