I very much appreciate your enthusiasm for the artwork section of this site. Far too many of us (my self included) post screenshots as "art". Your style reminds me of a guy I used to know a long time ago. It is very stylized and fun. Though your drawings are not very anatomically correct, all the basics are there. (approx. limb length, hips, etc.) I would strongly encourage you to experiment wherever possible with your media. It looks like you are primarily using colored penciles. Try something different; water colors, thicker paints, the computer if possible. Also, try creating a finished piece. Put in a background, other characters a border on the edge to define it. and finally, though this may or may not apply to your bringt style; you may want to experiment with heavy shadows. Good contrast always beefs up interest. Keep up the good work. Bob _________________ Consider it fixed!

Although I do abuse the art section on occasion I really do enjoy it and I'm glad we have someone on the site who's actually updating it regularly now. You go Riotmech, I might be art-impaired but we need more people who are'nt. _________________ Example of irony: Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia= fear of long words.

I meant to put a small aside in there about the difference between creative manipulation and just posting a snapshot. Here comes the flame, and I brought it on myself. _________________ Consider it fixed!

Especially editing cohdemo files to get what I want. Really if you can't compose a piece of work it almost isnt worth it.

I also try to color my best drawings, im actually thinking of colouring Rikti Hybrid and the Creeden's, and the reason i color my art with kiddy crayons is because i hate painting with...paint....well duh ....i don't really color them in my pc 'cause i'm just half geek and don't really have the programmes necessary to do that.... but i promiss you that some day you'll see some improved art..but until then you're stuck with the current one _________________ -[ ]- Your so sad, maybe you should buy a Happy Meal -[]-

I submitted one of my older works and I will try and work out some free time to work on a group picture for the Dogs of War. I submitted one of the original characters a while back. It would be cool to do the new generation too. _________________ Murphey's Laws of Combat "A sucking chest wound is natures way of telling you to slow down."
