I could see myself making a coloring book out of this kind of art, but I'm not going to commit to it at this point, since I've already got a few primary projects I've committed to, and I've learned to be cautious about how many different projects I tell myself/others I'm going to stick with at any given time, haha.
For now, you can download and color in a smaller version of the uncolored image, if that catches your fancy. Just be sure to credit me for the lineart with a link to this post if you publish it online.
