Re: Corrupted Flame - Originally I did have pupils there - but they didn't look right when I washed 'em out to near-white, so I just...removed 'em entirely. Given that, IIRC, Flame uses the supernatural 'eye bleed' face for pure white eyes anyway I figured this was most appropriate. And c'mon, she's a killer android or somethin'.

Probably spent too much time on this...but I was also trying out slightly more streamlined colouring techniques. There's more to do when colouring multiple characters with different colour palettes - multiple skin tones, costume shades. Since I have to colour the Hero Sandwich picture soon, I needed to do this.
Towards the end I was constantly adjusting the eyes on this picture, making minute tweaks on the faces...I'm still not entirely satisfied with the facial expressions, especially Space's. It's improved over the original pencils though - a friend who saw the raw sketch (on paper) said she looked weird - and I can't disagree. Her face is too...flat, and the mask detail doesn't help. I kinda failed with perspective there, tho I tried to correct it with shading. On the other hand, she is looking straight-on to the 'camera', so it's not so bad.
Marcus is somewhat better. It's probably obvious that I drew Marcus first before adding Space by the side - poor Space ain't done as well. But I knew Marcus was gonna be detail-heavy, so I had to pay more attention to him. Decided to throw on some stubble on Marcus just before I finalised this. Somehow, I felt it needed that last touch. Does it work? Never done anything like that before.
The pose and composition...manages to be entirely not what Cindy requested. =P Er. Eh-heh-heh, sorry. But I thought it'd be cute.
