Fanime was amazing but it totally left me sick for weeks 
after I got better, I went through the letters I got and found one that had nothing but $20 and a note describing one of my posters. It looked like someone made a mistake and accidentally gave me their money without getting a poster. I want to return that money so If it was you, please e-mail me at Yuumei.yan@gmail.com with your name and address.

I've seen you post those requests a coupel of times and seriously considered getting in touch. All that held me back was the doubt that I'd be able to do the job to the standard you required. Maybe another time...
And you're watching Gundam 0083? I love that series!
and you should give it a go sometime! i'm sorta picky with my flats, but only in that I dont like them as detailed as most flatters' work i've seen. i like my stuff simple.
By 'simple', are we talking 'broad areas of flat colour that define isolated shapes'? I've heard that some colourists are happy to accept flats where characters are flatted in a single colour from head to toe.
And are you happy to accept flatted pages that are all 'nonsense' colours? You know, where the flatter just slaps down random colours to mark out the different areas and you adjust them later?
If I can get a handle on this stuff, I may just volunteer myself next time...
as far as characters go, if my flatter has reference enough or knows the characters enough i have no problem with him blocking out characters accordingly. even if they're not the same colors as what i'd use. its helpful. if they dont, though, i think i do prefer my characters solidly blocked out like you said. Because then I can just select that character and fill in his color scheme without worrying about going outside the lines or what have you
its hard to say definitively "THIS IS WHAT IT IS" because it usually varies.
I suppose my opinion is simple is better. make the ground one color, the sky another, and if you dont know the characters color schemes/layouts then just block them each as their own color. If you do know the characters then have at it. Usually i provide my flatters with a reference on what my flats generally look like. Just gets across better what I like to work with, and most flatters i've worked with have all been pretty adaptable.
Its certainly not as difficult as this big ol' long post might give off
Next time you have need of this stuff, give me a jingle. If my schedule's looking favourable, I'll definitely give it a bash.
