That's right, "NO SOUP FOR YOU!!! Come back one year!!!"
Just kidding, it's an UN-official ban, cause metallics take a lot of time to pull off successfully, and it's not my favorite thing to do, but this tute might fix all that, so I may have to stop whining. 
And just do them...

Hmm...
Its a TA! 
yes yes it is TA
LOL @ the comment on metallics...
Me and you are like, TOTALLY opposite on this...I do metallics every chance I get while shying away from other stuff. IMHO, metallic/shiny stuff is the easiest...main rule of thumb for drawing metallic structure is basically, freakishly high amounts of contrast.
A decent tutorial on metallics:

Now, while this article is intended for painting miniatures the techniques for 2D drawing is basically the same. It might help you.

Thanks it's not that I can't do them, it's the fact that they usually take me forever if added on to a normal non-metallic piece... but I am confident my latest tute find, will help me break on
through to the other side....
Khep, thanks for the tute... and hey Daos, anytime you wanna write a how to paint metal tute, you just let me know!

Trying out a new metal tute I found last night, that looks perty darn easy, so I thought I'd test it on everyone's favorite art *****... who just happens to be 90% metal.
If this works I may be lifting my personal ban on doing metallics... more to come eventually...

Man...I have to say...I miss drawing TA/AoT too...kinda ironic in a way considering how many times I've drawn them...but one of these days, I've gotta do a digital AoT (probably my favorite CoH char I've drawn to date)...I'll probably even resort to doing it free if I have to. LOL!

Wow!
Thanks for that compliment bro!! I really loved your linework on Aot and if i had the disposable income that i had in previous years you would have already done a digital Aot! I would love to see it, you have a great eye for the character and even TA. I love the way you depicted both of them. If you need my permission you have it and if i ever find myself in the position again (looking gloomy ) then i would definitely have ya draw him again!
Thanks again to LJ and to you JTran!
Tushie kicking awesome TA arts! *huggle pounce!*
=^_^=b
Dammit BA, add the TA to DA so I can FA!
