Description

I think I might free up some of my practice images as free to use line art :) This is actually a character from Giderah named Rollo, but i didn't draw him right :S made him too fluffy and squat :D but you can probably make something prettier out of this than me :D It a good side profile for a ref sheet :D

This is free to use for coloring and references and your forums and just for fun, whatever :) All I ask is that if you want to take off the image by plaguedog line, that you please credit me for the lineart or link back to my deviantart page :)

Also, I love seeing what people do with these so send me links ^_^ I might even start linking to my favorites in this artist comment dealy.

It's not transparent :S I blanked on how to do that without losing detail (lol tried one and went...meh i give)

But here is a quick tutorial on how to separate your line art for coloring in photoshop.
1. open image and click on the channels tab
2. ctrl-click on the blue layer (rgb mode) to select the lineart
3. Invert the selection (select>inverse or ctrl-shift-I)
4. click back onto the layers tab and make a new layer for your lines.
5. select black (any color really) and fill with the paint bucket
6. Deselect (select>deselect or ctrl-shift-D)
7. Delete the original layer (background), This should leave you with the layer for your lineart on a transparent background
8. Make new layers UNDER your lineart layer to color, your lines will now be completely unaffected by your coloring. if you want your lines to be darker you can always duplicate the lineart layer :)

<3 Ill probably move this to scraps later :D
