New side work...

A co worker of mine must really think I have some mad skill and shoot maybe I do have more than I think. So my co worker has this son or nephew not sure what one needed this, but one of them needed this cartoon sketch colored.
Please note I do not own the following images I am must blogging about them because of the work i did To the sketch.
Here is the original.




Looks sweet as is but i was requested to color it and do some other fine tuning of this, so here is what I did.
I darkened all lines I colored the hat jacket and face I made the black A white on the hat. The shoes were freaking the hardest part. I had to make the black red and add white to the black and I had some open areas, I also extended the pant leg to cover the socks. I traced the shoe laces and burnt the bottom shoe to show a little bit of depth.  The belt was black and red and is now red and white

The shoes and extended pant leg

So there are your close up images.. ha ha.. After all that was done I had to do some fun text things to add to this. I'm not sure if this will be a cd cover or a flier/poster thing for Spodee but I spent around 5 hours of work on this at a last minute rushed rate of 30 bucks an hour I just got hooked up!!! ;)  Not that I don't have enough projects in my life but this could be a side business that could bring in some extra cash. Frank and I talked about it and I could do some reasonable photo touch up's or "photoshopped" at a reasonable price unless it's last minute then the rates double.
Anyway here is the full image... would love your opinion.
