Wait, what? When is BPAX? That's actually something I'll be able to go to.
Whohoo!!! Out geeked a geek! Boston PAX is here, and IIRC March 2010. And if I get my way, I'll be there without bells on, but with my tiara. And it will be cool to meet up with you, Thetheroo!

However, it seems to be a consensus of LewieP's Mummy and the board that she enjoys doing more colorful art, does anyone have any suggestions for a change?

Yep, I've just got 1 more to paint, then its you! You have about 2 weeks to decide, if you want to change your mind, that's ok, just remember I'll need a high res image to copy from.

Hmm, what do you think? Is there enough color differentiation in the image for you to highlight and not lose the picture? From what I've seen, your shading ability and overall skill has simply exploded in the last year (it's so cool to watch it grow from month to month!)
Is the image I linked high enough resolution? I'd like to stick with this one, I really like the image and the theme it suggests.
I think it may be OK, if not, there are a few people here who help me out with location more images. Do you still want the writing added to it?
If there is a way to make the text look appropriate and not like either the Colossus or the man is speaking, yeah. I have no other way to describe it, but I think it should look like a narrator is saying it, or something? Man, that doesn't sound all that descriptive.
Is it still possible to get it as large as I was thinking?
So the next picture I'm doing is for Ben, then I'll be starting MegaMan001's SOTC. The picture I'm doing for Ben is a merging of 2 images; a screenshot from the start of FF6, (that's on Youtube, but I can't link it right now!) and the character Terra, floating in mid-air:
Most definitely. There are buildings in the distance between both mountain ranges, but you can only see them as a black mass with some reddy-orange lights.

Here's the painting started - I've done the sky and mountains, but not yet done the lights in the buildins - I want to watch the Youtube clip again first, to get the lights right.
I'll do some more tomorrow evening - I go back to work in the morning, after having had 2 months off - it will be a bit of a shock to my system, and I'll need to paint to recover!

He also wants me to add some text next to the colossus' head. This is the only image I have, I'm hoping someone can help me out with a higher resolution link?
Anyway, I'm starting the pencil outline this morning.

This colossus is, luckily, simpler than mine. Megaman might disagree, but I think it'd be good if you kept this one intentionally vague rather than trying to get all of that detail in.
But it's just an opinion. Obviously I'm no artist.
That's what I'm hoping to do, but I don't think its any simpler!! I think I'm just scared of colossi in general - I'll get Lewie to show me this one this weekend. (if its not an xbox game, cos its RRD'd)

It's on the Playstation 2. If it helps any, there are Youtube videos showing the colossus in motion. Might help:
Centipeed, you are wonderful, I knew I could count on you to bale me out!
Willeth, that might be my fault - not sure if Lewie gave me the games to post, sorry.
I'll do a bit more tomorrow, in between baking yummy Fair Trade cakes and biscuits for a friend's fair Trade coffee morning on Friday - its Fair Trade fortnight, just in case anyone didn't realise!

So, I've just spent the last hour watching you Tube clips from the game - I now have 8 different screen shots showing the arm with the big chunk of stuff at the end of it, so once i've printed them out, I'll be set for tomorrow afternoon!

Its taking ages, cos its twice the size I normally paint, so I'm having to prop the canvas up on my dining table. Never painted this way before, the light is a bit difficult, cos its 10 little LEDs in a central fitting in my dining room, I don't have a north facing room anywhere in the house. Took a bit to get the hang of stopping the paint running down the canvas!

LED lighting in your dining room? How deliciously green and modern! Is that catching on, in the UK? We're just beginning to get the hang of CFLs, over here.

Next up is Ben, with something from FF VI, featuring Terra, a combination of the opening screenshot, with terra floating somewhere in the picture.

We've had a discussion about the size of Terra, and I've been sat watching the Youtube clip on Lewie's PC, cos its much clearer than on mine.

I'd just like to reiterate that this is incredible. Wow.
(Still need to figure out how I'm going to get you the money for shipping - do you have a paypal account or something of the sort?)
And I'm glad it arrived safely and you like it.

These were all taken in Lewie's quite white kitchen, and the flash went a bit crazy! hopefully they're vaguely visible.
