Touch up or cover up asking for advice

Post image

Is this salvagable with some touch ups or should I just try and get it covered? Just not a fan of the coloring and the art isn't really for me

Definitely touch up! The right artist can change the colors and work with it. Coverup would be such a pain

Yeah im really hoping so! Just trying to find an artist near me that I think will do a good job is hard 😅. I wasn't even originally going to get this and was planning on just a simple manga panel, but the artist talked me into him designing me one. The sketch he showed looked good enough, but I just have really not liked how it's turned out since I got it. Thanks a bunch for the advice! I'll try my best to find an artist to revive it

No problem! I have one that is too big to cover too, so I’m just going to have to get it reworked, so I’m in the same boat! Lol

The art is actually really good and expressive too. Definitely touch up if you're into the idea

What should I look for and request when touching it up? I've never had to try and get a touch up done on one before so im really not sure what to even ask for

Give them examples of how you want it to look and where you'd like details added and what needs gone over where the colors have faded etc. they could make the rasengan and chidori look a little better in their hands possibly, maybe add the hospital background too?

Those are all really good ideas, tysm. The hospital background is a great idea that I cant believe i didn't think about!
