Or at least these pictures!

COLOURIZATION CONTEST


The Pictures:

Pick ONE.

The Objective
Well, to, uh, basically color the picture the best. Ouch, that sounded like it broke like every grammar rule, but, basically make it look THE MOST realistic as possible. Remember, your skin tone has many shades and different tones of one color. It's not just one layer. Add depth and realism! Don't be afraid to get detailed!

The Particulars
-->Final product must have some colourization added to it. Don't turn in the b/w. Come on, people.
-->Dimension must be NO LONGER than 600px in length or width. All of these pictures either have 1200 as their length and width, so, just change that 1200 to 600 and leave the other number alone. Just some uniformity.
-->Strict colourization. Don't add brushes (Major big brushes..small ones to add some influence are okay) Borders are okay, of course. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO CHANGE THE BACKGROUND, but don't use brushes/textures on your colourization
-->NAME YOUR FINAL PRODUCT! Be creative. It's fun. :D
--> DEADLINE: JUNE 1, 2007 BY 12:00 NOON CENTRAL STANDARD TIME (US)
--> SEND ALL ENTRIES TO ME WITH "Colourization Contest" as SUBJECT.


DO NOT MAKE A THREAD DISPLAYING YOUR COLORIZATION

Knock yo' self out!

Oooh. I would like to have a try at this :D Though I've never tried colorization on a real picture before. I usually do this kind of thing to manga scans or sketches x_x.

Basically we just bring color back into the picture right? We are allowed to do anything to the picture's background?

Alright, I'm in.

I'll get started on it tomorrow. By the way, we're allowed to save it in any file format, right?

I'm thinking i'll just display the entries, and people put the corresponding number to whichever entry they like the best.

I, am quite silly but, refuse to do poll's for contests. Those are a no-no.

I've been around, just not as active around the design-y sections since January. I was in London with no PS on my (no longer) new laptop so yeah.

I'm finding it a pain to colour in the background -_-

Yeah it was a total pain for me, too. For the wispy bits without a definite edge, I used lasso tool set to 10 px feather to blend it in a bit. Hopefully that'll work better for you.

And polls annoy me, too.

I've never done one before, but I think I'm going to give this a shot too. I was working on it earlier and The hair is a pain in the rear.
