And another picture, with my 10-year old brother for size reference...

Hehe... If we're gonna talk lego, then I ought to post. This here was a massive airplane I built entirely out of legos. It took me about 2 weeks, and it's still standing today.

Man, we should have an official lego art thread...

Well at least you're expecting to pay, unlike those people who expect free service.

I don't know... I just have that strange feeling that you didn't draw this. Maybe you could post some other examples of your art?

Sorry for double-posting, but I just realized now that not everybody has 20/20 vision, and that the text is a bit hard to read. Go here for the full-size (and more legible) version.

Yeah, it's been a little while, but I'm back with a new comic. I tried to make the humor more universal and less childish... In retrospect, I guess I should have used black outlines, because brown just makes it all muddy looking; but I was experimenting to see which is best... Questions? Comments?

There's some good tutorials there on how to use some of the different functions and how some things work there.

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/3728 90/666
Tutorials made by users on this site, contains tutorials on how to make different parts of a website.

I checked it out, and those turned out to be pretty good. Thanks!

Maybe Zac-Donald should stop being such a Wacom Cintiq fanboy. I understand that they're amazing and out of our reach, but is it really necessary to brag about it all the time. Besides, an Intuos 3 is just as good. It's not the tools that make the artist, it's the artist's skill. I've seen some amazing artists use basic tablets like the Wacom Bamboo to create incredible stuff. To the OP: Good job for a first tablet drawing. If you're just beginning, I can't imagine what kind of stuff you'll be cranking out when you get the hang of the Intuos.

Like everyone before said, make the blood darker. Right now, it has the consistency of raspberry jam. Also, blood flows almost like water, meaning it flows all around. From the picture, it looks like the blood's only flowing in one direction. (See picture below). By the way, did you do all of the blood effects yourself, or did you just modify a source picture?

Does anybody here know of a good tutorial site for a complete noob like me to learn PHP? Note that I have no experience whatsoever with any OOP language. Thanks.

IE sucks at almost everything besides failure. It can't render pages properly, and it crashes quite often, not to mention it's easily hacked. Opera is okay, but I don't really like the interface. I use it at school, though, because they block Firefox from accessing the internet. Safari is okay, but it doesn't have too many add-ons. I prefer Firefox because of its extensibility, and because it has a web-developer plugin.

I personally recommend Media Temple and Dreamhost.

When I'm not on my home computer, I use either TextWrangler (Mac) or Notepad++ (Windows). When I'm on my home computer, I prefer Dreamweaver 8, because of the syntax highlighting, checking, formatting, and the ability to automatically put and get files from a server without having to use a separate FTP program.

The humour is a little stale, but hey, everyone knows its better to stay in tried and tested territory for a first comic, rather than try something off the wall and completely new.

I look forward to seeing more of your work. :)

When I was making this comic, I was having a sort of writer's block, but now I have a ton of ideas, which should make the comic entertaining without resorting to childish, fanboyish humor. The artwork is going to get better, along with the humor. Besides, look at the first comics of all the other good webcomics, nobody made epic comics on their first tries.
My webcomic, updated Mondays and Fridays
I'll post a newer comic here on Friday...

Check MIME types, and never trust anybody. This is the internet, you know. A person who says that they're harmless could be hacker, or worse... By the way, I tried uploading something, and here's what I got.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /www/110mb.com/f/l/a/s/h/u/p/_/flashup/htdocs/uploader.php on line 69

How about making the script work before releasing it into beta? Beta means it's partially functional. Your site is still at the alpha stage, I'd say.

My thoughts exactly. Dells suck, and it's pretty much a fact. Only cheapskates/schools buy Dells. You could always call tech support and talk to some Indian guy who barely speaks English, but I doubt that will solve your problem. Chances are, your RAM is either improperly installed, or just busted.

My intuos3 won't even work with vista - even with the "vista" driver from their site.

Case closed. Basically, you have only two options. Sell your current tablet and buy a new, "Vista" compatible one, or downgrade to XP, with which all of your hardware should work.

Aha! Windows Vista may be the culprit here... Graphire 4... how old is that? I know that a lot of old hardware doesn't work well with Vista...

In Photoshop, did you enable pressure sensitivity? It won't work unless you go and turn on "shape dynamics" under the brush options. Also, did you install the tablet drivers? Try updating the drivers/re-installing the drivers. Which version of Photoshop? Which OS? Which Wacom tablet? If you need specific help, you've got to give more information.

I've recently started doing a new webcomic, updated Mondays and Fridays. The address is http://www.comic.dzine-online.com . Below is a recent comic I've done. Any suggestions on how I can make it better?

The NG Forum is custom written, and the ability to move posts was simply not put in, due to the complexities and time required to make that possible. Updating and editing might also be abused, so it could have been left out intentionally.

"Anim8 remains an exception to that of course."
What do you mean by that? By the way, I can't wait until the muscled guy is finished. Good job with the munny and the face, though. How long have you been drawing for?

By the way, I hang out here at NG almost 24/7... I've become almost as bad as Sam Ryan...

Somebody had to point that out? wow.
I thought it was blatantly obvious ;D

It's not that obvious. Around 50% of the people on NG are assholes, and it's hard to tell them apart. =D

I wonder why there are so few Mac users here on Newgrounds?

Just for the record, styi, akasquid, and yhar are all citricsquid, after he went all pissy and gave away his main account. And what's up with ngup.net? After supposedly "re-launching," it's dead again. What gives?

Try using layers. They won't mess up the linework. There's just so much you can improve on. The anatomy is way off, as are the proportions. The guy-type thing looks really messed up, and the colors just don't go together well. Do you know how to draw in real life? If you can't draw in real life, then it's pointless for you to try digital drawing.

I probly should use a ruler for the lettering i might decided to do that on the next few frames.
How is the skull not drawn accuratly? The cheekbones may be a bit high or something but thats kinda how ive always drawn skulls.

I don't recommend Corel Painter for comic drawing. For what you're doing, either Photoshop or Manga Studio EX would be good. Manga Studio is the cheaper one, $49 for the Basic version, and $299 for the pro version. I also highly recommend Photoshop, which costs $799.

Here's a robot drew today. The shading was a real pain, though.

I especially like your 3D stuff, and I have a question. How do you get all the fighters and objects to be so smooth-looking? My 3D models in Cinema 4D are all blocky and squarish...

Hehe, seems like Google Sketchup is becoming the MS Paint of 3D... Good job on the house, though. J-D-S, your stuff is incredible. How long have you been using 3D?
