turn its left hand round to 3/4 or thereabouts, the index finger and thumb shouldn't bend like that sideways [at least mine don't]. Also the colouring on that arm in general looks kinda grimey. The skin colours look very spooky and blend nicely though : )
Also, on his shoulder cape thingy, bring his left shoulder down because the arm looks as though it should be going straight down from the shoulder, not out at an angle like his right arm.

It's a really bad idea to use the preset grass brush in photoshop, mostly because it's really obvious and doesn't look anything like real grass when used excessively. I'd recommend sticking to basics rather than trying to make the background really detailed and the main focus simple. For example like in cartoons, when grass is often depicted as lines with the odd zigzag. It's simple yet effective.

How did you do the structural backgrounds in the most recent images?

Here it is painted, with the antennas lit:

Is that one of the brain slugs from futurama?
Your art's looking great; of course I'd fully recommend studying anatomy with loomis, or if you want a good book sarah simblet's "anatomy for the artist" is excellent.

lol nice idea!
here's my starter:

And sorry I missed your question, Fiddy. I use GIMP 2.0.

try making her face/look at the viewer, that often helps pics a lot for some reason :P

or hold a competition for someone on ng to design some wall art which could then get painted up on there...

you should get some huge-ass art painted on those walls

lol just been watching Rashomon with a possessed spirit medium. Might use that for some inspiration if I actually get enough time this weekend

They are boring! If your actually wanna make decent (not boring) art then you should get a real art program and not use ms paint... http://re2deemer.newgrounds.com/news/pos t/309622

Thats a generalisation! I've seen plenty amazing arts made on mspaint, although the way these're filled, I doubt mspaint was used... :/
But yes, these pictures are pretty dull. TheRedGiant, you should work on making spiffier/more interesting images and whatnot.

what do you use for modelling if you're adding to it?

thats looking pretty cool, although i must admit I didn't know what the aqueducts were, so you might like to redraw those or something : ) The adventurer is looking great though! Don't forget about using line weight to help give it more form
lil' thing though, the shield looks more like a gravestone than a shield to me, so would be worth making it thinner and less boxy, and making it complement his outfit more by taking common features and using them in the shield, like say a logo or border design : )
be sure to post the finished version!

I'd say go read art101 instead ofprocrastinating, and do what j-qb says 'cause those are probably the two best things you can do. Asking for different advice just makes out that you don't want to do what's already been suggested... :/

Like I've been saying. I would like people to do more popular games such as

-RockBand

lol i'd be interested to see what comes out of this, even though i'd think guitar hero was more popular, not that it matters...

although i think saying what games you'd like people to do kinda defies the point of picking your own game to draw fanart of :/ just be patient and the art will come

But I did take the negative reviews into account and am experimenting with blending techniques now. I started a thread about it, but I guess most people don't care about pencil. haven't gotten a reply yet.

Those reviews are just people's opinions. I think the skin looks really good and realistic personally. It's good that you've taken the negative parts into account though : ) Good luck with getting some good feedback with your new piece! ^^

anyway, i'd like you guys to suggest alternate colour themes I can use! Each of the subobjects' colour can be adjusted independently btw, so it's no problem to experiment. :D

wow! looking great ^^ I think the colour scheme is fine, you should leave it how it is : )

I'd like to have a go at this, but can't promise anything for definite cause I do have work what needs doing too lol :P

I'd like to do something for Metal gear solid <3

daryl haha anytime! Just be sure to post the final result; I want to see it ^^

mmk this is what i figure needs doing, glad my last outline helped so much ^^
little note - her thumb and index finger should be pushing against each other otherwise the fan would fall out of her hands, and remember there's another little semicircle thing past the joint where the flat stick things cross over.

love the pattern on her dress though! ^^

I never ment to draw you, just something with bat in it =p

... thats a very good point!
I should save all these on my computer... xD <3

sorry that it's a lil off topic but her eye looks really odd where it is, kinda like a bug or something. Try moving it over to the right and up a bit more, around where the headband is

You might want to fix that before you start colouring. Also, most cell shading that I know of doesn't use the soft/blurry end brush, so you might do well to use a hard brush instead. Also contrasting the colours, ie using a dark, medium and light colour, tend to work well too, plus shadows/highlights.

Nah, there's an actual fire fish in existence. It's actually one of my favourite types ^^

Fire-fish Sure! Fine by me : )

M-Vero I'm pretty much in the same position as stupidfingers, in that I'm working to become a regular and contribute to the forum/site and whatnot. I would quite like to be included, but I appreciate the fact that my inclusion is probably unlikely. Really it's up to you in the end
