Its fantasticly detailed, and the posing is quite nice as well! You did a great job on Bro in this piece for sure

how fruitfully colorfully delightfull! Its also rather interesting to look at, I found myself more than just glancing at it after it fully loaded and eyeing all the curious little details, like the woman's off skew eyes and weirdness of the thing on her mouth

What an awesome gift to give someone without them knowing they're getting it!

Very cool, cut-out looking painting you have there. The colors are all chosen nicely, and... because of how minimalistic you have it, its very uhm, whats the guys name.. Bruce Tim' looking? It has a feel much like the Batman cartoon series.. if it was a little sharper lined, I think it could have easily been mistaken for such

I'm sure he'll appreciate it, I recognized that as Graver's character right away just from the picture. Very nice shading thing you got going there.

Huh, I ended up with She-hulk too o.O And that Scarlet Pumpernickle Witch. Hey, that's green and red! How christmasy. They'd make a very christmasy lesbian duo.

Well, they look rather pretty in the whispy pencil, almost charcoal looking lines you used to it all. And as they say, don't give up, keep practicing, you'll only get better (over time)

Looks like you made out pretty well with that commission, the artist has alot of style! And the picture came out very nicely

Hah, the shading really does have a little of that old Usagi Yojimbo black and white inked comic feel to it (Which isnt a bad thing by far, its actually very nice looking). Congrats on the good commission! Black and white art is way under appreciated

That's a very cute lil drawing you have there, the scarf is positioned rather well as well.

Niftily done Say!

Huh, what IS that o_O Well, whatever it is, you're the featured artist! And you got quite a bit of stuff linked in there, that's awesome Scarf! Congrats!

Aaah a Rowr Birthday coming up, eh?

I did this for fun today http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/53590721/

I woulda posted it on my Virtue thread, but it occured to me that the character problem isn't on Virtue! So I post it here.
And like.. I guess I wanted to do a more solo picture of the character after the Birthday one.

Oh well this is awesome, I was wondering when this pic could be posted! Now that I'm looking at it though I wish I'd drawn all the women's breasts like.. twice or three times as big :/ Ah well, maybe next year... happy birthday Brandon!

Dear lord, she's gone from destroying servers to destroying cities! Nice work, love Scarfzilla's falling pose.

It seemed appropriate to have a random character 'OMGITSGOJIRRAing' in the corner, ya know?

If I post a whole bunch of art at once you might not have seen over the past month or so it'll seem like I've been busy!

Yes, I haven't had a chance to thank all of them, but there's quite a few of you out there that commission so many pics I wonder where you get all that money. But at the same time am greatly hugely thankfull of it all. You all are quite great!

Yeep, sorry to hear about the accident Say. On the other hand, it looks like it was a nice car!

The J-train STOPS for the ladies! nice!

You can also play with the Level Adjustments on the pencils to get a darker feel to them.

[/ QUOTE ]

All three suggestions people have offered here are things I've tried and have found to work pretty well once you get the hang of them.

The pen tool in photoshop for one gives you a nice clean line, as Roxstar posted a link to earlier. Its just kind of time consuming, as you're outlineing everything you want to do using a mouse. But you CAN do it with a mouse, which is neato. You dont really need a tablet to do it, and I've tried it a few times when I forgot my tablet at home and wanted to ink something at school.

And as Rowr said, Adobe Illustrator has a cool function called live trace, where once you 'place' a bitmaped image into it it gives you the option of a neato button on top with up to a 0-255 levels of .. umm... vector..izing.. basicly, the higher numbers give you more detailed shapes and lower ones give you blockier ones. But it gives you beautifully smoothly traced mathmatically precise lines from just a picture. Though you might want to ink the picture before posting it in, or do what Roxstar said, and toy with the levels until you get something sharp before putting it into Illustrator.

And like Roxstar said, there's the level function to play with. He linked it and all that. I've seen alot of professional artists just do very clean line drawings, using softer led to do the structure and darker led and pencils to do the actual lines. Just remember to always scan something at a much higher DPI than you'll be using in your final product. It just makes things look a little cleaner when you do. But playing with the level adjuster can get rid of alot of the noise - I just used to use the brightness/contrast window to do it. But the levels thingy works just as good if not better. (I tend to just move the little grey widgit towards the white one until it looks dark, but not pixilatedly so).

Er. Just sort of repeating what everyone's suggested up there. Whats neat is all of these methods don't require a tablet at all, although a tablet tends to make coloring a little faster. Anyhow, I suggest either the cleaned pencil method or inking it by hand and then dumping it into illustrator method, both of those tend to turn out rather nice. And people tend to like the messy 'drawn' feel you get when you have clean pencil lines.

You know, I have that same tablet but it's just plain white. In theory I -could- put a drawing or something under the plastic cover and do the same thing :P

...wow wait, you can do that? o_o I didnt know that plastic layer.. lifted..or moved.. or..anything...Damn, you could TRACE pictures right on there!
