That looks awesome and will refrain from asking dumb questions until you say it's done.

There was a time 15 years ago when I could pencil draw comic book quality pictures.

and now I wish I kept them.


I'm sorry I have to say this your avatar kinda creeps me out.

You may as well ask away then scooter it's almost done.
You should try drawing again then you might be a bit rusty as I am but you probably don't totally suck at it either.


Then you guys probably don't want to run into me in a dark alley somewhere mwahahahah

P.S. You two will have to excuse VexXxa... she seems to have a secret love for tang that she tries (just a little too hard I might add) to deny

Heya Kai, thanks man
Way back when I forced myself to start drawing with ink pens only (not just sometimes but all the time,
every picture, for several years) so I'm used to the whole can't undo what you've done... after a while
you just don't think much about it anymore. Markers are just an extension of that.

Hmm don't know that I've ever been to a "con" before... unless you count CES I went there (back in the
90's) a few times on "business" (read: to play all the new games before they came out ) I've heard
people mention it on the forums here and seen pics people had done of their heroes from David Nakayama
(hope I got the name right) but honestly I don't know much about it.
Why do you ask?

Update!
I got asked if the markers were bleeding through the page at all... ummm
yeah I'd say there's a little bit of bleed through lol.

I don't know if anyone will get anything out of seeing the backside of the page but here ya go.

Really nice! Bobby must love it, or we all shall flog him.

I think the only little niggling thing that I notice is the neck/clavicle area looks a touch thin or flat to me.

Well... you see there was this Malta Zeus Class Titan that just appeared out of nowhere while LJ was brushing her teeth
and it totally sucker-punched her in the clavicle as she turned around...

Flattened it right out...
no joke... that was sneaky Malta, very sneaky!

No? ...Ok must be a tragic birth defect then.

I actually noticed that too Wassy, (good eye there) but alas it was too late to do anything about so I tried
to minimize it as much as I could. I'll be able to correct this kind of thing in post processing as (or if) I
gain skill in digital art techniques.

P.S. You bring the cat 'o nine tails for the flogging and I'll bring the guacamole
(what? it's not a party unless someone brings the dip) and a digital camera.

This is a WIP sketch I started last week of one of my heroes, Aruanna Twilight Moon,
a Dark/Archery Defender.

It still needs a lot of work yet but I'm pretty happy with it so far...

She looks a bit like a particular celebrity in this pic but I don't know if anyone else "sees it" or
if that's just me... anyone have a guess?

YEAY! it's not only me that see's it...

I was starting to wonder...
>.>
<.<
After about 20 guesses from people that I've shown it to and asked what celeb if any
came to mind no one else said Megan Fox but that is indeed who I was picturing when I
drew this... it's in the eyes for me that I see her as that is where I start most all my drawings.
Great eye for faces Foo... or at least for hot chick faces.

Bewbies tend to run in the family, though... admittedly mostly on the XX-chromosome persons.

Ahh but until now it had not been said by you.
Thank you Ghost and if I haven't said it yet welcome to our side of "the pond."

Thanks Crestent, well none of it is digital and I'm not sure where my scanner got buried so it would have been
somewhat problematic... but more than that I wasn't sure I wanted "the world" to see it... you know how
it is, when you don't practice your artz (or any skill for that matter) you start to doubt if your stuff is
display-worthy. It's the whole if I put together an art show would anyone come to see it thing?

Mostly it was Bobby, Alex, BW, Cashoo and a few of the other artists who cattle-prodded... err I mean
encouraged me to post... VexXxa the font theiftess probably had a role in it too (earlier in this thread)...
I can't be positive but I suspect her anyway cuz she is just suspicious like that.

Thank you Larissa.
Ironically one of the first sketches I tried was of your character... must be a pointy ear thing... either that or it was the ice bikini
I may go back and work some more on it if I find the time over the holiday weekend but no promises.

Oh and Final Update! Yay it's done!
Howz it lookin?

I must say I am very impressed with the end result on LJ, I love the shading and definition in the design. You have some impressive talent there, but I'm not surprised to be honest. . . seems there are MANY people here with some very impressive skills. I love the fact that everyone has a unique style so no one "fades into the back drop" if you will. I look forward to seeing more art from you in the future CR !

I prefer such relatives to be nearer instead of very distant.
They're always nice company, great in conversation too.

It's done really well CR, but I have to say that putting in such a severe cheekbone seems to detract from the rest of the image. The line of her cowl as it crosses her face was more than enough to hint that it was there. I'd guess that you were trying to replicate LJ's penchant for having hard facial features but the effect winds up looking a bit skull-ish. Her neck is also dangerously thin compared to her full figured body.

You're likely one of the only people on this forum who could actually take the criticism properly, so I'm not going to bite my tongue on it when I normally would.
