I have been a colorist on HEE (horse Eden even ting, the sister game to WP.) for who knows how long, And I've gotten so many PM's about how I'm not an artist, I shouldn't take credit on the lines I color. Like excuse me?! I colored them! I'm giving credits to the line art owners?! I don't understand why people say that, I know I'm not an artist. I'm a colorist. A colorist colors premade lines that are free to use. I have run into this problem on both HEE and WP. I just don't understand. Maybe I'll quit it then. |

Yooo, people get pissy as shizzles over colorists, it sucks for real. I may not be a colorist but I know DAMNNNNNNN well I hate coloring, shit. Being a colorist is a damn worthy of the title artist. It is hard work and something some people literally get paid to do by the artists who drew the lines. . Considering the fact that it is a legitimate job. I recently saw a comic artist(Pet Foolery, amazing comics, recommended) and he pays a colorist to make it easier on himself. So yeah, you're an artist, and you're handy indeed. |

even at that some people cant do lines very well(me) but are DAMN good at coloring them- and making sure the colors line up, the shading and everything else is difficult! |

I agree with BJake. I knew someone who loved coloring so much she would have taken any job where all she had to do was color. I grew up among coloring sheets and printed linearts. It takes a certain skill to color a lineart the same way it takes a certain skill to create the lineart itself. It is the same difficulty, if not harder, to truly color something unique than to line-art something. Line-arts can be traced or reused. The best designs are truly unique to themselves. As a fellow colorist/artist, I understand how under-appreciated most colorists are. I'm sorry you had to go through this. |

Especially when coloring your own lines, you have to figure out where the shadows go, what colors to use, if you want it to be realistic, Etc. |

Colorists are very under appreciated. They don't get as much respect as artist do. |
