lol, hey that's pretty creative!

I kinda reminds me of that one song "Colors" from the beatmania

the only color you don't have from that song is orange. lol

Thank You!

At the local Gay Pride parade, there were some cute guys body-painted in rainbow colours. I didn't take a picture of them, but found a reference that looked similar.

I was too lazy to add another boy for the colour orange:-)

Changing colour in egg tempera is a time-consuming effort: grinding the pigments with water, adding yolk, use it up before it dries.. So I tend to use a limited number of colours.

ooooh! I forget that you work in traditional media! (you'd be surprised what mediums people can fake with illustration program)

How do you scan your work onto your comp?

My attempts with digital haven't been that convincing so far.. I use a simple scanner. It gives better resolution and colours than the camera I'm using for bigger panels, or when travelling. Putting together multiple scanner pictures with an image stitching software doesn't alway work.
