Third Time's A Charm. Heh.

Okay in the past i've offerred to do this and each time i've gotten more and more confident in my ability to finish what i started. However, i kept buggering off and buggering off until i thought it seemed like everyone forgot about what i had been doing. I'd say, "Sure i'll draw your toon for free just give me a little time," and my inbox would fill right up with requests and such and i'd get all happy and psyched and i'd get around to maybe the first 3 and get distracted with something else and never come back to it.

Well, this time i mean business. I'm gonna make myself finish. I have a guilty conscience (spelling?) and i want to make it up to anyone i've disappointed. I want to "clear my name," so to speak.

So, here we go. There will be rules and stuff this i set for myself this time around so i know what i'm doing; so i can keep up with everyone. Okay anyway this is the plan:

-All requests must be sent to me via a private message. I always check my inbox for new messages but i don't always revisit old threads. This is just the safest way to get your request to me.
-My 'list' will only be 5 requests long at any given time. I will go from one person at a time, starting (obviously :P) at the top and working my down to number 5.
-I will not be accepting any requests after the initial 5. Please do not fill up my inbox with too many requests as it will cause me to get distracted and disorganized.
-I will make a new thread each time i am ready for a new list. This is when you want to send me a request. If i receive more than 5 before i am able to say that i already have 5, i will post this in the thread as well as send each person after the fifth a private message telling them they missed the queue and to try again next time.
-I will be doing only one picture per person every 5 lists. If you ask for more than one picture you'll receive a private message letting you know that you have been removed from the queue and asking you to please not send multiple requests. This will only be done once. If you send multiple requests after this first "warning" i will simply delete the message from my inbox without any notification.
-These will be pencil drawings. Not sketches. Neat pencil drawings. I will not be converting them to inked line drawings due to time problems that would create, but rest assured that they will be neat enough to be converted to line drawings by a third party if it is desired. This is free, after all.
-Each drawing will be released as each drawing is finished.

Wow, after writing all that i sound like an [Censored]. Well for what it's worth, i'm really not heheh. I pretty much posted all those rules more to remind me of what i said i would do, but they should still be read.

Oh, i suppose a couple links to a gallery or two would be helpful:
-This One Is Still A Little Wonky cause my dad made this site. He's still working on the page construction and so the navigation can get a little funky, but the pictures are all there.

Welcome back to the forums man.


(I suppose that Juggy pic never got finished eh?)

sent my request too!

Welcome back man!!! Dunno if you ever saw this but I colored the Rox you did for me a while back. Can't wait to see more of your stuff.

Nice work Davenport... I like the TA in Gallery 3, I also noticed you mostly do men.. but welcome back, and I totally understand about guilt, that's why I came back too!

Allright, that's 5.

Juggertha, i'll have to make an exception in your case on account of your initial sketch being one of the few pieces i started and still have (or, at least, that i know where it is). So this queue might be a little over the limit (6) or you might see it in the next 5 batch.

And Lady Judgement, yeah i'm better at drawing guys. It's just that i've been drawing ever since i knew how to use crayons and, as a little boy- you know how little boys are- girls were still icky so i always tried to draw the 'cool guys' like wolverine and the flash cause i always wanted to be them. I draw women, too, it's jsut that i got a head start on males and it's simply my preferance cause i know my way around better. So don't get discouraged or anything.

Hell, women are just tougher to draw well anyway. Even for alot of proffesionals.

_D

P.S.: Oh and i don't know how well the gallery(ies) show it, if they show it at all, but my technique has improved, i think. Since my last posts i've taken an 8 week art class in comic art and composition with Rich Hedden (kind of obscure i guess, google him), so he was able to give me alot of great pointers and tips. I've also picked up a copy of "How to Draw Comics The Marvel Way" (i think that's the title, don't have the book in front of me) so you may or may not see some stuff that looks similar to the examples in there. Rich said he swears by the book and it's one of the best things for an aspiring artist to have so i'm relying quite a bit on it.

D'oh!

Waiting on ImageShack to load up for my screenie links, so I PMed too late. Le sigh.

Faster, internet, faster!!

welcome back Davenport! nice to see you still hang around and draw

i still got the one ya did for me a long time ago
