What's this? A girl with average sized boobs? I'm surprised at you!
Your female anatomy is really coming along. These last few pictures look great, but I do agree. The male department might need some going over. Haha, but I understand. I'm definitely in the same boat as far as gender anatomy goes. Keep up the good work, man, and don't disappear again!

Make copies. :)
A lot of people who work traditionally like that make high quality copies of their images just in case. And I understand your predicament completely. I worked straight out of high school for over two years before I had enough money to apply and art for a portfolio. Hang in there! You do great work. C:

Hope Luck Kick in Soon! Til then here my little color advice (though I've only color digitally >3>)

Since you're coloring this in the mood of the night, you have to think of the cool colors.

Even grey can be a cool color if used right. As for the water, use the same color you used for the night sky and form the ripples where the moon light is hitting (google sea or lake at night for reference).

Plants can be dark blue-ish green.

For your skin predicament, maybe working on the background first would help make it feel cool and night-like.

Highlights being the bright blue color.

yeah i already had that idea for the background, wish i had some blue-greys or some green-grey markers it would have helped loads. as of now im working. to see what colors blend the best i have so many blue-related markers its ridiculous. using a tablet makes it 10x easier but having a hard-copy of your work is so much more satisfying. P.S. i refuse to use references! P.S.S. thanx for the feeback bud i hope i do make it look somewhat decent.

i got the base shades of the rocks up now i have to work on finding blends that fit with the plants, honestly i might have to throw in some digital backing afterward idk.. work has not been good to me but i think i do have a few days off this coming week :).

I have been gone for quite some time, went on vacation to florida. an enjoyable experience, never got around to posting this. didnt have alot of darker colors that fit for what i was trying to get, i tried making it look as nighttime as possible. hope you guys like it, also i would like a critique on the piece if thats alright.

I really like how this colouring is turning out, digging all the cool hues

Good to see you around. This looks nice so far. What stops you from uploading the rest? Internet troublez?

my phone sometimes takes forever to send to the email, and things along those lines. this is another random sketch i had did at work dont know what i was doing was just throwing some of my OCs in one piece. it is unfinished, it might stay that way.

some other sketch i starte the other day, i do plan to finish it. A dragon OC of mine.

this one i just started, I'm trying to get like a disturbing feel from this one. This is actually an Old OC remake, trying to work on designing her armor, and debating on wether i should give her an extra set of arms or not. Originally she had and extra set but it was Aura like but im thinking more along the lines of them having a more physical form.

i'll just post this here, I dont have much time for anything except sketches nowadays. i do look forward on to doing bigger projects eventually. sorry that its nothing entirely new just another redraw of my ninja girl OC :/.

i also had to scale down the image D: the quality is probably horrible now

So i started coloring this In PS since i had some time to myself today, still a WIP, i done changed the background like 7 times, not sure what to do with it yet.

So my old PC Kicked the bucket, and everything went down with it D:, but now i bought a new one and i dont have to worry about PS crashing on me and such. I started working on this piece here. My OC(s) im mostly still experimenting with each digital piece i do learning new things every time i do so. I have an idea where i want to go with it but not sure if i can pull it off.

Sketch of an Old OC that i thought i'd redraw Did her in a more cartoony style, I'll color this traditionally. wish me luck!

Just some Progress, i like how its coming out so far Hopefully i dont screw it up. i'll try and finish tomorrow though gonna catch some zzzz.

so i finished it, heres the link to the Art Portal!
you can view it here though there isn't any Hi-Res version to it .

Just something i am working on for someone, this is not my OC. i can't seem to get the feet right lol i erased and redrew the legs several times.

another im working on for someone, i am actually using water color on this one. sadly i forgot to buy brushes so all i have is one tiny one lol.

Well this piece is finished. didt spend alot of time on it, but yeah w/e.

Wish you know about Dragon Half. I'd really love to see your rendition of Mink.

Damn I also should be doing that, too

I saw this one in the Art Portal today... What really bugs me is that the photo doesn't make it justice. I really hope you can manage to find out a better way to share your artwork, it's a real pity...

But anyways, man, you've come a really long, long way, pilgrim. You've improved cartloads and your style is getting very attractive. Please keep on it, pal, you're really doing it great!

I might have to give it a shot Man, Shes a really cute character. I don't do alot of fan art but maybe i should hop on it.

Yeah i need to invest in getting a better camera, majority of my drawings now are much to big for the common home scanner :(.

I really appreciate that man, i am a Fan of your work :). i plan to keep improving thanx for the kind words, it motivates me to keep going.

This is just some sketch of my characters i started, i wanted a semi realistic feel to it. there are certain things on the piece itself i dont like and will be making some changes to it.

You should really finish this. For some reason, I favor the pictures of women holding some kind of severed head, always just seems awesome to me. I'd love to see this finalized.

I do intend to finish it sometime, hopefully i get the urge to complete it soon. This is some random piece that i'll probably never finish.. I really need to invest in some drawing pencils rather than having a mechanical pencil all the time. I suck at realism and its just too tedious D:, have to keep practicing though.
