So...how'd I do?

[Obsidian]

This is my first attempt at coloring and adding special FX using digital software (ie, Manga Studio 5 Ex and Corel PaintShop Pro x6).

So, for my first time, what do you think? Is it shit, or is there hope for me?

The original line art is from Arania (this is part of a sequence she did for me a while back). I've attached the line art for comparison purposes, and a version of colored product without special FX.

Be brutal if you wish; I won't/can't improve without honest criticism.
