I understand. I have just spent 2 whole days getting screenshots twice and sometimes even four times of all my characters, cropping them, assembling them into new formats, and then uploading them painfully and slowly to DA with little backstories. But hey, they are my characters and to me, they are worth it.
So don't feel you need to apologize for using photobucket. It's alot faster than using DA for those times you have alot of pics to post.
A gallery of all of my characters can now be found in my signature. Some familiar faces are in there, along with a few new ones. So if any artist wants practice drawing characters with somewhat complex outfits, feel free to have a look.
((I apologize for using Photobucket, I've found it's one of the best out there for what I'm doing.))
