And now, the very massive:
Big The Tank

Some that I got done this weekend...

Strawman

Colin Hutchence

Reawaken

I'm hoping to get one more done this weekend - that'd put me at 20 so far - pretty much half way - mini-woot!

Sorry all, it was a little stretched vertically, this version should be a little better.

Another fine issue, gang.

Might be a slight slowdown this weekend though guys.... busy taking care of the little one.

Yeah, I can always go back in later and muck around with the dimensions.

In the mean time, I give you LADeeHawk

Ok all, a bit of news...

1. I've recently decided to PAUSE the accepting of any new characters. I've had over 40 requests in just over a week, and I'm wanting to make sure I can get through them all this month. If the end of the month is coming and I feel I've got room for more, I'll open it up then. I want to thank you all for the support, and want to guarantee that those who have already paid, get my full attention.

2. I've now finished 15 CHARACTERS and am enjoying every one. What do you think though, should I try to keep them all on one sheet, or start a new one?

How long does it take you to do one? (average)

I thought I'd post up a wallpaper for a group that has been supporting my artistic endeavors.

The CERULEAN LEGION

((Yup, it's pieced together from recent individual pics))

And now, the very dapper, President SK

No time right now, but maybe next month I'll take ya up on that trade.

A couple of others you might want to add if there's space:

Nice size on these Juggy, I didn't realize they were so big... congrats to the owners!

Big as in how? Image size?

Yup, they're fairly large.

Here's the latest, OverSpeed

I win! I win, I win, I win!!!! I heard about Joshua's pic from Chrysame who was kind enough to surprise me with it today!

I Win!

Nice capture of the character!

So glad you like it.

Chrysame was also nice enough to spring for this second surprise...

If you want to be an artist, I'd HIGHLY recommend that you learn another skill that will make you money and have the art be a sideline. Two main reasons;

1 - It's very, very hard to make a comfortable living doing art. There's always someone else willing to draw it better for less.

2 - Should you be lucky enough to get your art to pay for your living, it becomes a 'must do' process and isn't that fun anymore. I gave up freelance because I was forced to draw what paid the bills and not what fed my soul. Now, when I leave my day job, I can come home and comfortably draw whatever I want.

Total agreement.

Making it so that any "art money" is just a bonus and not a necessity, goes a long way to keeping any passion you might have.

Yeah, for me I try to make a bit of coin to support my habit (buying art supplies and such). Any money I make from art goes first into that area.

Per hour, I make about 25% of what I make in RL. My wife always says "why don't you just work more instead of drawing, you'd make more money" - I reply that money isn't everything.

That being said, you can check out my link below for how I handle things.

Thanks Tundara.

Here's another one:

Ok, keep on keepin' on.

My weekend was busy, but here's the latest:

Hey! I recognize... a few of those peeps.

Nice work Juggy. I don't do PayPal because I've had too many friends who've been hacked through them. I don't even pay my bills or do my taxes online (and yes, I work for the IRS). Too many instances of spy/malware that has infected me has made me extremely leery.

Now, if an artist is willing to work with me to accept a money order, then I'm happy to pay for art. Just right now funds are in flux and I need to keep an extremely tight rein on my budget, especially with the baby due in less than two months!

Maybe sometime next year. :-)

Yeah, so far I've had nothing but decent service from Paypal - but then again, I look at it as a transfer point only. I think if anyone is saving any large amounts in it, they're running the risk of trouble.

Grats on the upcoming arrival. Mine is 5 months old now... and, well, it's not easy. lol

Just added the young Irradissi to the fold.

I fudged a little on Hornet's and Talbot's outfits, so here is the slightly re-done version.

You could look at mine:

PS-Drawing

PS-Coloring

I'd be interested in helping out... but I'm booked solid for this month. If it's Dec, maybe I can swing some help your way.
