Definitely not terrible at all! I know there has to be a scanner of some sort that does pics that big, I've seen several artists on DA upload stuff that size...*scratches head*
First time? You're already pretty good, dude. Keep it up.
thats awesome for a first time! theres only one little thing but it isnt really noticable. there should be a little more room between the eyebrows and the hairline on the male character. other than that its great. i look forward to seeing more! 
A decent digital camera, which is almost the same price as a good scanner would be able to take your pics any size, have photo editing software to crop it, and have a cable to instantly post a jpeg.

Very nice! Extremely good renditions of the characters!
Moar!
Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!
Repurposed
Yes, very nice Are you sure that's the first time you've ever drawn something? :P
Also, you can take art classes at your local community college. It's inexpensive and perfect for someone wanting to learn a few things about drawing
There is no other way. Go practice more!
Fantastic work
You are definetely one to keep a eye out for.
You have talent my friend, keep at it.
Looks really great for a first time.
And don't worry about being older and getting into drawing...I was in my early 30s when I went back to it (did some in college, but was never serious about it like I should have been). Like Rowr suggested, there are community colleges that aren't too expensive, but if finances are a problem (they are for me), there are all kinds of online tutorials that will help immensely.
If you want linked to any of the ones that I've got bookmarked, shoot me a PM
Keep up the great work!

For a first timer, that's very very nice!
Keep going!

...Does this mean you won't be asking me to do the Prize pics anymore? 
Btw: How did your "co-artist" do? I'm curious to see her interpretations.
Hey not bad at all for a time time artist. Keep up the good work which I look forward to seeing

Well as you know Aeronnes she is nine years old and changes her mind quickly. She got bored with what she was drawing and when I walked back in she had done This
I threw it on a background for her.
I think when she gets a bit older she is going to crush me. Like when shes ten

Hi, although I have been trolling these boards for a while I have never posted any of my personal art.
I thought it would be fun to run a costume contest on my home server of protector and I would attempt a drawing of the winners.
Few things about me I already know and learned as I attempted this.
1. I have never had an art class...ever. (Something I need to rectify but at age 38 I am not sure how I would pick up on something like this).
2. That said, although I am an avid reader of comics and love the art, I do not have good fundamentals down of skeleton/muscle structure, hands, faces, shading, inking, etc.
3. I know that (unlike some contestants on American Idol) I have no dillusions that I can even compete on the same level as some of the artists on this forum.
Those things known up front, I classify myself as "Beginner to not horrible" I am a big critic of my own work. I realize that my muscle structure is off, my shading is lost and unorganized and I have issues with keeping dimensions correct from one body part to the other.
I have also learned that when doing a drawing on 14 x 17 paper that my scanner CANNOT fit this in. So I went to a copy shop and found out no device they have can fit 14 x 17 either without cutting off the feet (which you will see in my picture).
I learned that artists pencil sets are really cool and am starting to understand the difference in soft vs hard and how necessary it is to keep them sharpened.
I learned about nibs when inking. I had never even heard of a "nib" when I started.
So this experience has taught me to try even harder next time.
Although my scanned picture looks much worse than my actual drawing I hope you will look at it and give me any pointers.
What I am actually looking for is someone who wouldn't mind helping me out with the picture for these winners and taking a stab at coloring it. I have some idea about layers but when I attempted, I realized to stay in my small lane.
Anyhow, here are the original shots (From left to right in pic) and the last is the picture
Shadowgirl
Aemon Algiz
Sorceress Queen
Jellicat
and finally my drawing (go easy on me)
Costume Contest winners
Btw if you know of a scanner that can tackle pics of that size let me know, I may just buy the thing!
