HERCULOIDS - Color Comp

I have finished the determining the values and have scanned the original art into Photoshop CS3. At this point I am playing with colors. I am working from from cool to warm. I must confess that I am a novice with color theory. I don't have a formula, I just go with what looks right to me. I've had complements from people who's color work I admire so I might not be too bad at color. Either way, this is pretty much the road map for the color when I start painting.

Appears to have a translucent, almost glowing effect to the piece. Really works well with these characters.

Uh, I think you gots the color theory pretty darn good!

Don't let him fool you, he's a color wizard. Diary of Night's colors were all Gene, and they are amazing.
