I hope all those looking here who often ask 'How do I start coloring' seriously look at the second row.

Nice thread. Very informative on coloring as jalonso said. I wish there was more threads like this on drawing and construction(one of my weak points).

 had a near-finished version of the anglerfish but that computer is having problems. on my laptop now so palettes on the new ones might not match so well |

Yes! That is very interesting to see.
I wish more of the artists I admire would post progress pictures-- I like seeing how things come together. ------------- |

update on monsters: added a new guy. there won't actually be three of them, just trying out color variations. I already have a lot of green and purple guys and wanted to mix it up so I tried red, but maybe it clashes too much with the others. I dunno, input welcome though. and progress on the new guy:  |

lols I used a blue palette I made on the 'new guy' and it looked really good.
So I guess it's my drawing that's really bad and not my colouring.

crits on color choices (within a sprite, or if a sprite seems not to fit with the rest) are especially welcome. the two new ones on the bottom are WIP, the sharkamander in particular. more WIP stages:  |

Just want to say that I've never really felt that #11 fits with the others. He actually kind of reminds me of the http://deadspace.wikia.com/wiki/Lurker - Lurker from Dead Space. Anyway, I would say that he doesn't really follow the same style as most of the others. He seems to have a very different form and his texture doesn't have the same sense of oozing sssliminess. Also, I would say he errs more towards plain creepy rather than eerily cute. Probably somewhat due to his proportions - most of the others have relatively big heads and googly eyes. ------------- |

yeah I agree with you there. I really like him though so he's probably staying, I guess it wouldn't be as big of a problem if I just had more diversity between creatures, if I do more I'll try to make them a little non-standard. |
