Hi everyone: my name is Ronda Pattison and I am the Legion colorist (since Legion #25). I’ve lurked around these boards as Mechana for quite awhile now. I’ve been reluctant to reveal my self because it seems that no one comments on color except when they think I’ve done something wrong! But I also see how nice everyone is here, and how much you enjoy interacting with the Legion creative team past and present, and I’d like to be a part of that. And honestly, I’m tired of not getting credit for my work. The credits may say Snocone (Snocone Studios, my employers), but for better or worse, it’s all ME baby! Colorists need love too!

Well I look forward to talking to anyone who's interested, though I should say up front: If it hasn't been published yet, I can't talk about it! No spoilers!

Ronda its great to finally put a name to Snocone! A while back Chip had been trying to get a hold of you and it was something trying to find anything out about Snocone. I, for one, am glad you are here and glad to know it isn't some nameless Studio doing the coloring.
We may have to get a thread started, if you don't mind, about the process. I've been trying to teach myself how and actually bought a set of Brian Haberlin's CDs on Digital Art Training. Just haven't found the time yet to get into it.

So is colouring done totally on computer hese days? I have a romantic image of a colourist sat in a corn field with a set of watercolours and a selection of brushes.
I suppose if that were the case there would be a lot more colourists in the business.
And Ronda, the colours in the last couple of issues have been delicious, a lot of details are enhanced, the moods have been set and maybe we haven't said too much as it's been done so well! And of course because we're jealous we're not sat in a corn field

Good to get to know you, Ronda! It's nice to meet another Legion creator. And please be assured that whenever we say the art is yummy, your work is definitly being included there.

Some comics are still handpainted and photographed, though I'd say the majority are computer rendered. There are some colorists who don't know how to use the computer, so I guess they could be doing their color guides in a cornfield some where, though usually they use markers! Then their guides are passed on to a "seperator" who renders them up in Photoshop for print. I did seps for other people for years before I became a colorist myself.

The name "Snocone" was the brainchild of the company owner's five year old son. Though anything with the word "snow" in it seems appropriate when you're Canadian.
