Ohhh, I'm with Betty. These colors are perfect -- it *feels* like slightly old-school art. Only, you know, prettier. :D

And... man. Dick. The nose.

I... okay, so possibly I have a thing about noses, but... *NOSE*

*squeezes him, TOO*

Thank you. =) I think the old school impression is because I limit myself to just one main color for each area/item plus one highlight tone and one shadow tone variant of the same color, so it's really quite a limited color palette compared to current comic coloring (mostly I do it this way because I'm lazy, and I already need a ridiculous amount of time to color anything because I lack practice). OTOH the tones themselves are of course not limited by printing concerns and such, so it looks prettier, and not as garish as real old-school comics.
