Hi guys,I wanted to know if i could get some of your opinions on these German photos ive colored. As stated before im not an expert on the colors of their uniforms so I wanted to know if you guys could look at these and tell what I can do better with them,Id like to start colorizing German photos and upload them to the site
Since Wehrmacht (Heer) uniforms differed very much in coloring it’s pretty much up to you how to colorize. Basically there’s no typical “Feldgrau” (field gray) but it comes in all kinds of shades from gray, blue, green, olive and brown.
flamethrowerguy thanks for the help buddy I appreciate it,now im off to start coloring some German photos. I’ll do my best with them,
Best regards

hello Za Rodinu
I have a question for you:
I saw many beautiful colorized picture in the net from you and another artist the name was Sasha.
You and Sasha was same?
I might say a little more ‘green’ in the uniform colour on some rather than grey, but they look wonderful.
You have the Oakleaf spot on in this one…
Thanks imi I think ive got over 700 colorized photos on my flickr that ive done over the past few years,lol I think I may have a slight obsession with colorizing WWII photos :0 lol. Yep both is me,my name is Alexander,but Sasha for short
The Fiendish Red Baron Thanks for the help,I was thinking I should have put some green in there. I’ll keep that in mind for this uniform in the future. Thanks
congratulations excellent works!
I didn’t know this was your work, Za Rodinu. I remember a couple of these photos being uploaded some time ago on the photo site. Indeed the colorization of the camo is ****ing amazing!
So sad to see these young guys going to war.
