I have no classes, no books, I'm just hoping to learn little by little by doing it. My only training is the comic itself

I'll think about coloring the artwork, I'm interested in seeing it too, though who can say how soon I'll get to that. If there's anything amazing about me, it's only that I've managed as much as I have with as little time as I have (wife/4kids/job/sidejob/webdesign/actual PLAYING the game now and then).
I have no formal training either (other than one life drawing class and the stuff I did in high school... both more than a decade ago) nor do I have a vast library of art book (though the internet helps ) and I was not born with a gift for drawing as it seems some people are... I am, for all intents and purposes, self taught.
Does that make me not a "real artist" either?

This pretty much sums it up and yes I do plan to draw past the 1st of March at midnight I just won't be on this crazy schedule. Read my sig visit the links and read the OP's and post up refs if you want a chance at some free artz.

Actually CR, that's pretty encouraging. I started my comic only for the purpose of improving and I have. It's nice to think that I could eventually get to your level if you started the same way I did.

If CR doesn't get to it, coincidentally I'm going to eventually need some catgirls for cameos in my comic. I just posted a call for catgirls today in my second-home forums:

How dare you steal refs from my thread!
Why you little....

hahaha kidding.

I saw that post of yours mentioning you wanted catgurls... there is always Sapphic Neko and Katfood here in the art forums... either of them might be up for it.

Oh and #34 is up in my New Artz Thread... I did say at some point that I would make an effort at some real horses (as opposed to unicorns) so I put up a trio of sketches.
Equestrians have at em.

I got your art up on my site. I'd been planning to add an art gallery section to my page anyway so you're pic was my impetus. Check it out here:

Jordan's Town Art Gallery

I posted several of the things I've done over the years (mostly in support or as part of the design of my page)

Well #35 is up in my New Artz thread and just in time. Barron's birthday just suck in under the wire, 59th day of 60. So I figured some b-day art was in order. Congratz Barron and enjoy.

Only today and tomorrow left (until midnight) for my 60 day challenge/resolution. 35 down and five to go. Fenian is almost complete and that means I need at minimum 2 per day.

I'm going for the WIN!

Numbers 38, 39 and 40 are all up in my New Artz thread.

Thank you all for letting my use your characters in my little project and
for helping to keep me motivated throughout the process.

I had all the final pieces for this project decided upon yesterday (other than the last one which became a spur of the moment thing) but fear not I am not going to stop drawing just because my New Years resolution is over... I just won't be under the gun (dual pistols?) so much.

Archery/what 2nd set Blaster?
and what kind of tank is Mike?

DeeDee is an Anchery / Fire Blaster who can run really fast
Mike is a Willpowered / Superstrength Tank who can jump really high and far!

--> And no.. not at Febo's just off Prinsengracht *giggles*, waaaay more up :P.
I take it you've been there?

Congrats on fulfilling your New Years resolution, Christopher! Its definitely resulted in some awesome sketches and drawings. If you're still looking over references for characters to draw I humbly submit my character Shift, the Fire/Shield Scrapper, for your consideration:
