I like the background you added, gives it more character.
Also, we definitely need to get you onto the next page of your thread. Every time I scroll through this page, I see that Howie picture, and it creeps me out D:

Have you been hanging out with Zane too much?

Can you tell which one of those 5 kids is gonna art?

That is creepy as sin.
I blame the blank expressions of the dolls.

My Comic Book. It's already been voted for a few times.

I would think not, as they're partially humanoid, they're chimeras, and they already exist.

Actually, that's a big no-no. Don't ask to be scouted, it only hinders your chances.
Just submit art to the portal and people will notice you in the unscouted section.
For more information, read this.

Lol, cock muscles.

So it's like a review of your inner psyche?

I did.

Lol, it's alright so far.
If you hate the characters, why don't you start fresh?

Because I can!

Because you had posted that picture of yourself in the outfit already, I totally guessed that's what this image was before I even read your post.

Wait... how is bwip's one too humanoid and Jeeshwa's not?

Mmm, yes, jeeshwa's and bwip's are extremely similar, so if one isn't accepted, neither should the other, I feel.

I think there may be a few too many folds in her shirt between her boobs.
Shirts shouldn't wrinkle up that much in that area.

Wow, that looks horrible. Did the driver at least try to help you out?

Reminds me of Glaciusfrom Killer Instinct.

Newcomers are based on when they joined the forum, not sign up dates.
And everyone voting for shadling is not being counted because HE HAS NOT POSTED IN THE FORUM!

At 11/28/11 04:46 PM, Morthagg wrote: I have a question.. What is meant exactly by 'No creature chimeras'?

No taking pre-existing creatures and combining them to create something new.
Like putting the head of a lion on the body of a cow and calling it original.

I like how this COW is all about heat, as winter is approaching.

Pretty much as stated in the original post, but I'll repeat it.
You can cast a vote for as many or as few categories as you like. However, you can only vote once so make sure you are absolutely sure of your choice. You can only vote for one person per category, so no second picks.
Also, Leggy, yeah, I didn't count your vote for theshadling. Even though he has posted in the art forum in the past, he hasn't made a single post in the forum during 2011.
So yeah folks, make sure you're voting for people who are actually in the forum, not just the portal.

Probably because I recently played through that quest.

Excellent, cause that's all I was aiming for.

Not bad, not bad. Seeing as how almost all of their are their known poses, I guess you used references? Nothing wrong with that, should probably have adjusted the shading though. The shading is a bit inconsistent through the characters, some having light come from one side, some the other side, some from above, some from below.

The design on the bow wouldn't work. The drawstring needs to be inside the curve of the bow.

If you can't find motivation, how about fearing that if you don't finish your work, you'll wake up in the middle of the night to this.
