| For those of you who don't know me very well, please disregard the following post.
For those who do know me from the chats in the chatbox, and don't mind my little oddity, please veiw the following pic.
| Spoiler: | | | 
And yes, the character is over 18.
That picture was done with the GIMP program, and I'm very well pleased with my first attempt ^.^
As you can see, the pic was heavily influenced by Marci's work, "Cub Time", and I did in fact trace the body. The crib is my own devising, however, as is the hair, the tail, and the stuffed animal under his arm. I also used Marci's work to get an idea for much of the shading. |

| Thanks Kas ^.^
Anyway, here's the B&W of my next sketch:
(Same warning as before)
| Spoiler: | | | 
For this one, I used this picture for a general reference (ie, no tracing this time). I'm pretty happy with the results, too...
And I'm still having trouble with hands and feet... oh well, I'm getting better at it. |

| Awesome.
Haha, for a second I sat here looking at that little blue dot on the doll and then I noticed "Ohhh! he has a diaper too!" and just started giggleing.

| Here's an update on that last picture.
I only have one real problem with it: the faceplate. I want it to look like brushed steel. Not increadibly shiny, no, just enough to show that it's metal. Any pointers?
(No, I'm not going to worry about the hand in the flame; even though it's steel as well, it looks fine the way it is.)
Also, any ideas for a (simple) background?

| | The guy's arm is incredibly long. You're using a 4/1 head to body ratio (child to early teens) but the arm is 2 heads big. I'd recommend shortening the forearms to fit the body. |

| How about inserting little white diagonal lines on the faceplate, for the metal effect?

| Another piece of art, this one for Halloween (or, rather, Haloween, in this case =P)
Maulkin infested by the Flood!
Edit: No, it's not done yet. I just needed a basic sketch to get my orientation, and you guys can see the results of that ^.^

Hey, it looks kinda like me!! Except I'm taller. Also, why are the cat men in your pictures wearing diapers? That part disturbs me a little. |
