ctrl delete history (colored)

When coloring a line art drawn by someone else, you always take a risk in the fact that you are unfamiliar with the way the lines are done. When you zoom in its easy to lose where you were and have to zoom back out in order to figure out what each line is doing.

That said, ~agentsmithtrollplz's lineart was an absolute joy to work with. It might look complicated and sketchy, but the lines were very clear and I didn't lose where I was once even when I zoomed in a bunch to fight with certain shadows.

I love coloring, so when I saw Troll's original drawing of Persephone and my OC Agent Chalmer I had to ask if I could color it to which the reply was "I would be insulted if you didn't", I hope I did it justice I tried a slightly different method for coloring this using a pale green underwash and using the dodge/burn tool to outline a guide of where the shadows and highlights would end up being when I got to them. This technique is used by professional painters in still life paintings using burnt sienna to give paintings a warm atmosphere, I tweaked it here using green to make them look more artificial. I'm learning something in college ^^. What do you think?

For a pairing I pretty much added at the last minute purely for the convienence it would provide in later chapters od City of Corruption, Chalmer/Persephone has gotten really great reception, and I am shipping them hard. I went on to Fanfiction.net's Matrix archives to look and see if there were any other Persephone/OC fics and basically found none which surprised me. I would have thought the fandom would feel bad for her and create hundreds of male OCs to take her away from her unfaithful husband...Instead I found a bunch of Smith/Persephone fics that I just don't see. To each their own I guess.

By the way I am soooo not done with Chalmer and Persephone.
