Great movement and colouring!

:O :O :O :O

That's quite a personal collection you have there! Grats on your milestone :}

Here's my version of Abby!!

Your work never ceases to amaze and impress me. This is just mind blowingly awesome!

Why is she pointing at me?! :O I hope that cookie I ate wasn't hers...

Silly me, I forgot to announce the winner at midnight! It was really hard to choose, however, there can be only one winner and that is AuroraFrost!

So, AuroraFrost gets to pick a character and a setting/situation for the next round.

Ex: Tremorr, in an airplane, with a rubber snake.

I'll whip something up and post it, probably this weekend, for the next contest. Thanks for participating!

YAAAY!

love the tones on the armor!

Awwww! So adorable. Makes me want to drink too!

Fantastic!

:O Gorgeous! Great job on the anatomy and shading. I'm really digging the yellow/orange/purple combo here.

I'm honored you guys think so highly of my work, but I'd feel awkward having people pay me to have fun ^_^

On a side note, I'll try to slip the staff in there just to see how it looks. But not tonight...tonight is for shleeping

It rocks
You should have included the Nemesis staff as a guitar though

p.s
Are you open for commisions?

I was thinking of putting it in there and then left it out because I thought it might look more like a banjo than anything else, however, that would be funny in itself!

As for commissions, I'll draw your character for free :}

Sketches: I'm not really sure if it's your scanner or not. I've found that when I scan my sketches, the pencil is always very light and I have to adjust levels in photoshop to make the linework darker. This inevitably also makes unwanted marks and smudges darker, which I then have to go back and erase. So, I guess to answer your question, I edit my sketches after scanning without exception. I imagine this is all subject to personal preference.

Tablet vs. Mouse - I got my tablet about a year ago and really love using it instead of the mouse, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a requirement for intricate digital art. I created just as intricate pieces using my mouse as I do with my tablet. The main difference I see is that it takes me much less time to finish a piece with the tablet than with the mouse...and my hand doesn't hurt so much afterwards.

Inking - It's really personal choice. Ink and pencil both add different qualities and feelings to a piece of work. I tend to like clean bold lines that I can't achieve with a pencil because I'm not technically skilled enough to make the most of pencils, plus as I finish most of my stuff off with colours in photoshop, it just looks better inked. If you do want to ink but are afraid of messing up your sketch, I recommend trying it out digitally, but with a program that allows you to make layers. That way, if you don't like it, you can always just delete your ink layer and be done with it. Also, I've found that zooming in really helps to achieve smoother lines. It is a little awkward at first because you can't make the large stroke you normally would with a pencil or pen, but you get used to it after a while and it becomes easier with practice. When I first started, my inking was very shaky and boxy as well, but after a lot of practicing and erasing, I got much better and faster at it.

I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I hope some of this helps a little. :P

Wow...just wow. I could spend hours looking at all the little details in this one!

<wombat dance>
Happy happy birthday to youuuu!

I dig the expression and the way his head is turned just so. Nice work!

So, I watched Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny the other night, and this happened!!!

I plan on colouring it after finals are over. The pose is a bit awkward and the perspective is off, but it's a start! :}

I don't really know what's going on here, but I kinda like it! Very interesting composition and flow. :}

Hey, neat style! I like what you did with the face there :}

I like the pose! Is she basking? This looks like a good basking pose!

Can I pinch his cheeks? :3

OMG!! I've been chibified and I LIKES IT! Thank you thank you thank you! :}

These are both incredibly cute and funny! I'm still laughing at the TA one...hahaha!

Sure, I would do it for a lollipop :P

Great job on Kilo! Definitely one troll I do not want to pump into on a dark night...or any night, for that matter! :P

If you're looking for more characters to draw, Zeebra could always use some lovin! She's an ice/ice blaster and loves making popsicles out of thugs trying to steal little old ladies' purses.
