►Colorizing the Manga◄

As you can probably guess from the fact that I have a Sentinel roleplay account that's become my main account, I love the Gaia manga. I greatly appreciate the work that the artists put into it and I look forward to every update, even if I'm dreading what happens next. (Waiting to see what would come of Sen and Seer talking to Gaia was torture!) I understand that a lot of other people love the manga and its characters too, and some people miss the way the manga used to be full-color pages.

Now, coloring takes a decent amount of time, which Gaia has to pay for, and I'm sure they would rather pay artists to work on other things such as cash shop items. Which makes perfect sense since they're a business. I happen to have too much spare time on my hands sometimes (well there's one plus side to unemployment) and when I can't seem to get art to cooperate, I've started coloring manga pages. It feels kind of weird to see all of these characters in color, and I'm not saying the manga is bad without color, because it really isn't, but it feels nice to see everyone in color.

I've started with Return and my plan is to keep going with Return and if/when I get caught up and have the time, I'll start doing previous chapters, too. No, I don't work for Gaia or anything, these aren't 'official' colorized pages, this isn't an official NPC account, etc. Just a bored Gaian with some spare time. I've tried to get the colors as close to accurate as I can, but some are going to be off or darker. Some characters have their skin darkened already in the official pages and I can't be bothered to lighten it because let's face it, I'm lazy. The colors I've used for Gaia are grabbed from some old concept art of her and I have no idea if they're canon accurate.

Note: I'm including the page number that corresponds to the actual page number in the manga, hence gaps where there is no page that I've colored. I may change this later and fill the gaps by linking to the actual manga pages.

Now, let's get to what you're here for.


◈ Return
[Full]
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
17 18 19 20 21

◈ Cabin Fever
[Full]
1 2

♦ Updates:
9/12: Return page 21
11/15: Cabin Fever pages 1 2


I figured this would also be a good place for general manga discussion, too, even though there's a few threads about it already.

gaia_spoons How do you guys feel about the direction the plot's going?
gaia_spoons Are our favorite fallen demigods going to get their powers back?
gaia_spoons Do they even deserve to have them back?

Frequently asked questions/comments:

Hey, you should show _____ and maybe Gaia will put the colored pages up in the manga!
No. Stop asking/telling me this. That's not how it works, people. That would fall under 'volunteer work' and Gaia doesn't do that. Besides, it wouldn't be fair. If I colored pages and got to have them put up, everyone else would want to get to do the same and how would Gaia choose which ones to put up? It would be a big mess and disrespect the artist who actually draws the manga by having their work replaced.

You update slow.
Yes, I know I do. Life. And stuff. And personal art which is usually of Sentinel anyway.

You did Cabin Fever before finishing Return.
Yep. I still plan on finishing Return, Cabin Fever just woke up my coloring motivation so I'm going with that.

YAY ~!

Very nice. o:

I especially like what you did with Gaia. She's the one I wanted to take a crayon or prismacolor marker to the most. COLORING YAY ~!

As for the plot, I don't know. The theories I have in mind are just getting warped and carried away, and I've become blinded by them.

I do believe that Sen and Marius will get their powers back, though; they don't deserve them now, but it's implied that they can "earn" them back, therefore implying that they'll deserve their powers then. I'd like to see them with their own shop, though. That would be fun.

Nicely done. I do think that Sen and Overseer should have gotten their powers back. Centuries of confinement (and, in Sentinel's case, torture) would be enough to drive anyone coo-coo-go-nuts, as they said. Perhaps something of a gradual restoration of their powers would be in order, allowing them to prove themselves.

But whatevs. This Gaia lady is crazy, banishing her kids and sentencing them to a slow death for being as she created them... I feel like her actions are a little old-testament, in contrast to the neo-pagan airs she puts on...

Lovely work! I particularly like the coloring job for Gaia's magic-ing, but it helps that jade green is pretty much my favorite shade of green ever. heart

OMG THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for doing this emotion_kirakira

Oh, and discussions. Yeah, I think Gaia condemned all of the other gods to death by refusing to return the powers of the two (and they're even asking for them back so they can help others O^O).
Then again, maybe somewhere in her self Gaia doesn't want to contribute to killing Nyx. She calls him her "poor, lost son" at one point, so I doubt she sees him as "evil" like Sentinel and Overseer does.
I guess she doesn't want to take part in any of this... But she has to and she knows that. For the sake of our npcs I hope she does.

Thank you~ And you're welcome.

I really, really hope Sentinel gets her powers back. I don't have faith that she'd use them for good, but ugh I just need to see what would happen.

Thank you! Admittedly I sort of based the color off of the casimir outfit's colors a bit. It's sort of earthy but magical at the same time and I think it fits.
