Just a coloured version of the Christmas card.. Experimenting with colours -- not too sure this is the way I want to colour my work, it's a bit too opaque. (But this one kinda needs to be, since it was a quick doodle drawing I scrbbled up to send my friends barely in time before Christmas, it didn't have any crosshatching or shading.. )

If I'll ever have time to figure out how the new print system works I'll turn it into one, so next Christmas you can send these to everyone! Neat idea, huh? I guess I should've figured that out like.. before Christmas or something. Then again, I've never had much of a head for marketing.. =P

I like the coloring, very nice:D
Although, I think it takes away the old-drawing feeling (I don't really know what I'm supposed to call it but...yeah). The non-colored version felt older, and I think it fit the subject better that way.
Still a wonderful piece:)

Aw, that's adorable! haha....little hobbitses :D I like the colouring job, myself.

Yeah, I think you're right.. In most cases I prefer the sepia versions to coloured ones.. It's either my lineart just works better that way or I just suck at colouring. Probably both! =P

But as I wrote above, I feel this opaque style doesn't really fit that well.

Thanks for the feedback! :)

:D Thanks! In the end this style seemed best for this particular pic.. because there's no shading the colours need to be stronger. Still, it does lose the "aged" feel.. but that's not so important in a card like this anyway, right? ;)

Play for me, Minstrel, my love,
play a harp, her neck is of gold,
in a dance, which covers my soul,
I'll become the mirror of my thoughts...
