How I got hired by DC... I think.
Well... I say "I think" because I only know my side of the story, for now. I haven't asked them for their side yet.
I colored everyday, at least 6 hours a day, for nearly 4 years. The end.
just kidding :) But seriously, I did do that and that helped, I'm sure.
Back in September I wanted a good sequential portfolio, A whole comic to show the editors that i could tell a whole story with my colors, but I couldn't show the whole comics I worked on for ColletteTurner (https://www.deviantart.com/colletteturner) and Hodges-Art (https://www.deviantart.com/hodges-art) because that would give away their story. So I began the search for a whole comic that was inked here on DA. No luck. There wasn't an inker who had inked a whole s
My second DC Comic is...!
I just got word that I can tell you all that I colored all 12 Jim Lee pages of the interiors of this comic: Suicide Squad #7! Out on 11/30!

It comes out the same day as the other comic I colored, Justice League of America #10! So on November 30th, double dose of JSkipper Colors!
I'm so happy right now, I'm absolutely honored to be chosen by jimlee00 (https://www.deviantart.com/jimlee00) and sinccolor (https://www.deviantart.com/sinccolor) to be the colorist for this comic! I'm also coloring Suicide Squad #8, so put it on your pull list!
My first DC Comic is...!
I colored the interiors!
Not my colors on the cover. But this is the cover to look for!
This cover is drawn by #BryanHitch and colored by the amazing and stupendous sinccolor (https://www.deviantart.com/sinccolor)!
I just got word that I can tell you all that I colored all 24 pages of the interiors of this comic: Justice League of America #10! It comes out November 30th, so mark your calendars and tell your local comic book shop to pre-order it! I was extremely blessed to have my first comic be the Justice League! Not only that, but my editors told me to use sinccolor (https://www.deviantart.com/sinccolor)'s work as references (because he colored the first 8 chapters), I told them "I think I can do that 😏
I'm now a DC Comics Colorist!
Yes, that's right! I'm now a full-time DC Comics colorist! Thanks so much to Jim Lee and Alex Sinclair! Apparently, they liked my work so much that they recommended me to their DC Editor and then he asked if I wanted to color for DC, I said "Of course!".
I don't know if I can tell you what I'm coloring now, but I can tell you I'm coloring the whole comic! I'll let you know what it is when I can.
Unfortunately, that now means that I don't have time to color anymore commissions, I am sorry about that. The good news is that now everything that you paid me to color for you is colored by a certified DC Colorist!
