Great work everyone! I'm so tempted to start mine! But I don't think I'll be able to start til after X-mas! I'll just keep on checking back and it'll just keep me motivated!

That's if I can keep it away from my girlfriend!

But as you can see in the picture, I can run pretty fast! And I don't even have superspeed on! Kiiiyaaaaahhh!

<crosses fingers it doesn't come in store gift cards>

heheh, no no no no no. I'm not trying to use the offer of the full size file to get more commissions! In fact I probably won't be accepting any new commissions until this thing is done!

I just wanted to give those who have gotten one a special thanks!

It seems that today is Bradder's Birthday!

More Colour!!! well just a small bit actually....

Don't worry, I'm not gonna just color one at a time and put up an update, but today the stars aligned or something!

Desktop versions of various sizes will be made available.

found this site pixel joint

and I've read this one before: Derek Yu

I want to make pixels too, but I have a big group pic to finish, a tarot card to start, and, yeah no pixel art from me for awhile!

Hope that helps!

So was doing some inking, I'm basically starting from the beginning of this thread and fine tuning the characters, you might notice some changes, but nothing too obvious at this size. But then I decided that it needed some color!

A little color can't hurt!

Don't tell people where you "think" he is!

anyhow, guess I'll work on the key tonight!

I would love to add more people, but I have to stop, otherwise this thing will never get finished.

There will hopefully be future group pics, maybe supergroups, or themed groups, I dunno, we'll see! One pic at a time!

What? I've barely scratched your list of characters! And now you want to withdraw? What's up with that?

I really don't do what I do because I expect people to draw my characters, I find it funny that some people think that I wouldn't draw their toons unless they did one of mine first!

I can only speak for myself, but I draw cause I NEEDS to, now I'm not saying I need to draw ALL 112 of YOUR characters, that's a lot of need. But I'm guessing folks here who take requests are not gonna be hung up that you don't "contribute," comments, criticisms and suggestions are as valid a contribution as a piece of art!

But it just sounds like you need a kick in the butt to get your art in gear! So get to drawing! I find doing a sketch a day really helps! Share when you are ready.....are you ready now? We can wait!

Okay so here it is! It's practically inked, I will now go over it and tighten bits here, darken bits there, add some more line weights there, a little nip, a little tuck!

Where's Waldo?

the computer fiasco put me behind schedule a bit, but it's getting closer! I moved some people around again, take that KEY! Buahahhaha. But don't worry I didn't leave anyone out!

oh so close!

Alright more inking, slept in a bit so didn't start til later then usual, now I go see movie, then I'm gonna install new mobo, cpu, and videocard, files already backed up so unless I blowup my pc, there should be more..

ink, ink, ink!

It's fine, I'm just giving you a hard time! At least now I know when I do his sketch! hmm maybe I'll make it a giant pimple in the sketch! buahahahahah!

okay ear transplant for Rowr, and I mistook the big wart on your head as a horn Kilo! That's what you get for not giving me a nice closeup screenshot!

I'll look into trying to make big prints available, but first let me finish it.

Inking, Inking, Inking. I used to really hate to ink, but I think I'm getting better at it. A year of practice does help, and drawing everyday has also seemed to make a difference! So the Weekend is almost here which means I won't have to stop tomorrow to go work!

I hate stopping when I'm in the zone, but that's the way it goes!

Where'd everyone go!!!!!???!?!

I scooted people around, so I turned off the sketch layer for this one. It's starting to really take shape, I noticed now that Kilo's got gummy arms, so I might fix that, and now Synergy got some more breathing room! Don't worry, the rest of yous will show up soon in all your inked glory!

now that sounds like an interesting picture to draw! But that's for another time! Have to finish off the projects I have now!

ah an update without a picture, what's the point?
I'm at work and can't work on the group picture, but I did do some work last night and this morning, but if I posted it, it would look like I"m going backwards. Since I'm doing tight inks now.

Certain folks have been adjusted size wise, and there will be more shrinkage the right side of the picture was getting a bit out of proportion, I'm sure a certain Rox will be glad to hear that, Don't worry Kro, you're still large and in charge, but not ginormous anymore!

It's coming along nicely and with the weekend approaching, i"m hoping to finish the inking.

BTW if you are at all curious, the picture is around 40ish" by 20ish" at around 300DPI!

Let the poking and squeeing continue!

ooh that looks cool! NICE!

ooh that's cool, one day I'll figure out how to record as I draw, I always like watching other people draw!

I still have a lot of tightening up to do. Hopefully the coloring won't kill me!

This piece is a Christmas Gift, the person decided to allow his friends to open their gift early so I have been given permission to post this!

Merry Early Christmas!!!!

Three Friends

Yay, second pass is done, now to go through and fix bits and correct stuff, and then I can ink it!

What another update!

Um... is that...Say in there or am I just dreamin?

Sorry that's Xaellana, but has been mistaken for you, should be clearer when color is added.

hehehe, I know I'm not updating enough when a deleted post gets so much attention! I too confess my curiosity, but let me distract you with art!

ooh look!

So here's the plan this pass is basically to get the costumes and pose right. I'll go over it again to clean it up some more, but this time I won't need to go back and forth between screenshots. Once that is done, I'll have to start going back and forth between this and screenshots to get the colors....wheeee!

been awhile cause been busy, following so advice from Thornster, did a little tweak.

Finally an update!
