Ironhide 2.0 -- trying to fix the green

Description

Lineart by the great :iconcaliber316:

I'm loading this into my scraps, because once scanned and hashed by getting turned into pixels, both versions look about the same in terms of "goodness." But I colored this for one of my bestest irl pals, 'Chromia,' and in real life, the greener-highlight version looks eyebleed. She agreed. So I took a colored pencil to the green to tone it down, and added more scrithy bits on his armor. I also darkened the buildings behind him to try for more bg/fg separation. If I had this to do over, I would probably try for a dark green zombie-tinted environment instead of that purple that took over halfway through, and then would have no need for any green light on him for complimentary color stuff. Meh. I always try to make my colors turn out good, because I love and respect the artists whose work I am coloring so much. But sometimes, it's more of a struggle than usual. Sometimes I make poor choices. And there's only so much you can do if you're working in markers. (And you only have one print to work on.) 

I hope Chromie likes this version better. That's all that matters. 

Hugs and love to all,

The colors have kinda faded now. Because I've been licking the picture ever since you sent it to me.
