Skin Horse: In Color!
Shaenon: Thank you so much to Arcum42 for coloring some of the early SH strips. Now we can finally see Tip’s pink angora sweater in pink.
Channing: Because the shift to color was made integral to the symbology of the piece, we can’t do a Girl Genius and go back to produce an omnibus color edition of the black-and-white stuff, but it’s fun to see how such a thing might look! Thanks so much!
I will now spend the rest of the evening saying “destroy destroy”
Destroy!
This was really well done!!! a fantastic coloring job!
They look so much more destructive in color!
Oh wow! Colour adds a whole ‘nother dimension.
It’s nice to see them destroy again.
Now In Destroyacolor!
That is so cool! Thanks for sharing that.
A flashback to when they destroy. Obedient servants destroy. But now it’s destruction, and meaning destruction, destroy and destroy and destroy.
It’s been said before, and I’ll say it again-your expressions are the best!
I remember that the original strips were the ones that convinced me that Skin Horse was, without question, for me! It’s fun seeing the colored-in versions.
Destroy.
The Snack of Destruction! In color! That may be my favorite strip ever.
Totally destroyed with delight!
Looks great! Love K-3s chef’s hat and the way it also looks like a burst of angry steam.
Wow, seeing the classic strips again, especially in color, makes it really clear just how much the art has developed and improved over the years. And early Skin Horse looked a lot like late-stage Narbonic, which in turn had also developed substantially from the start of Narbonic.
It’s always really cool to see how an artist’s skill develops over the years.

Well, you can always do what Freefall (http://freefall.purrsia.com ) and have both color and black&white versions on the web.
Doing this was rather fun. I wanted to color the Killotron robots, and these four strips hung together pretty well.
I referenced a few color strips to try to get some of the colors right, and arbitrarily decided the Russians had the same skin color as Nick.
I also remember doing a google image search for “pink angora sweater” for a color reference…
Very nice job!
Now it’s in colour… next up: In stereo, where available!
(How many are old enough to remember hearing that on TV?)
Raises hand.
