Your lineart always baffles and amazes me, Judgement. I'm assuming you're using Macromedia Flash for such smooth lines?
Nope. She uses Illustrator.

Thanks, Illustrator is very forgiving, though I suppose you could use MFlash which I used about a month ago and enjoyed. In fact I was looking at some older pieces in my gallery from just last september, thinking crap my lines look like I'm going through morphine withdrawl...
I may have to redraw Radey Ayte just to be able to live with myself, but don't tell Starchasm that... 
edit - the smooth lines are a new thing for me, as I didn't always use Illustrator for inking. Now I find just sketching in it with my wacom is like having a magic marker that never smudges.
When I sketch in Photoshop, I go for "mood" speed, and you can see the difference in the last few pieces. Illustrator has been my "vector" day job for the last few months, so it only makes sense that I'm using it more for my "off hours" work.
Here are two a non COH related pieces I just did:
1) Mermaid - a recolor of an older piece, but how I use to work in Illustrator.
2) Faerie - after creating my own brushes to simulate different thicknesses.
I still color primarily in Photoshop, but only because I'm too lazy to open Painter and stick to it. Digital painting takes a lot of patience imho.
beautiful lineart. so clean and precise.

That came out very nice man!
Great job!
Thanks I had to "photoshop" her other arm in... that's what I get for posting the drawing too early. I was so over anxious to color it, I forgot to finish drawing it all.
This is actually the 1/2 size version, I sent the Graes the humongous original file, that way if they want to crop the faces, it's still a decent resolution.
Okay back to drawing samurai armor and oh yeah yet another final sketch of you know who...

Last September, Lady Grae was kind enough to let me join the Sisterhood of the Paragonian Knights... unfortunately I quit the game abruptly and had to leave but I did promise her and Grae Knight a piece of art based on both of them.
This is my gift to them, and their tireless effort as co-leaders of one of the best community teams in the game.
I took the pose from an old movie still of Tyrone Power and Lynda Darnell, but once again sketching in Illustrator has been so much fun, that I guess this piece was "meant to be"...
Gonna color it tomorrow.
