Sweet! Thanks, everyone! I'm glad it's so well received!

That it really great, Shia. I've messed with flash a bit myself, so I know how cool it can be.

Thanks, Larissa!

Thanks so much!

That's pretty darn cool!

Well LJ, I'm really very pleased that you like it. Like I said, initially I just wanted to do a new piece so I could practice this method of coloring.
As a fellow artist, I'm sure you can relate to the feeling when I say that there was just something about the piece that whispered to me that it should be LJ. It wasn't even so much like I was creating it as I went, but almost like the image was there all along, and I was just helping to pull it's form from the pixels.

Anyway, enough metaphorical mumbo-jumbo. I'm just glad that you like it. You've established quite a presence for yourself on these boards, and I felt you might appreciate some recognition.

Cheers!

Thanks, you two. Coming from you guys, it really means a lot to me.

Thankee kindly!

Surprise!

So, I haven't been around a whole lot, lately. What with taking care of my wife for the past few weeks (she's been recovering from pneumonia), I just haven't had the time to frequent the forums. I don't even think I've played more than an hour or two total in the past several weeks.

However, I have made time to work on a bit of a surprise piece for someone who's fairly well known to the Fanart section.

Anyway, I hope you all dig it.

Who could it be???

I have a surprise for someone, tomorrow.

Here is my attempt at drawing...

Very nice, Lorik. The pose is natural, the dimensions are appropriate, and it's well detailed without being distracting. I think it's a really great piece. My only suggestion - work on your confidence with line length. Practice drawing long flowing lines till you feel more comfortable with it. If you do that, then I think that your already good talent can become really great talent.

/Seconded.

Heh, that's pretty funny. I'll bet he's popular with the ladies.

Grats, Scarf! If your using any kind of digital illustration software, a tablet makes a world of difference.

*WOOooooo!* (like a ghost).

Very nice! Good sense of character, and perspective. My only recommendation would be something that you could only do with Photoshop, or a similar type of program, and that would be to adjust your levels to darken up the lines.

Other than that, it's great!

For drawing and inking, I highly recommend Adobe Illustrator. If that's not available, or too expensive, then I might try Corel Draw, as it's more or less the same.

Anyway, keep it up, you've obviously got lots of talent!

Freakin' sweet, LJ!

Another new one!

Gorgeous!

Pretty nice, man!

I like it!
