I'm pretty much aiming for 6-10 with her ageand have her weapon at least twice her size.

I don't think the age of yours really matters considering the size of her but I think you illustrated the concept pretty good.

That's the way they do it on Homestarrunner.com.

A girl is a girl, a woman is a woman. There is an obvious difference between the two...so just keep it in mind. It's not difficult.

Your best bet would be to aim your pen somewhere between the ages of 5-15 years old.

yeah i have seen that way too, i'm just trying to find the fastet way to do it. I myself use overlapping shapes of differend colors, then break them apart and delete the inner one leaving a variable stroke outline, but they should seriously add that as an option in the next version of flash

That would be neat-o to have as a feature but I prefer the way I said, I usually make the character and then with the lines I'll convert them to fill at the end at get read of the round ends.

well in flash 8 you can change the shape of the endcaps, it's in the bottom properties panel when you have a line selected, you can make 'em round or square

I'm old skool and use MX, so stop waving fancy shmancy features in my face...
Actually, that is the only feature in Flash 8 that makes me semi-envious because I do my filters in PhotoShop and Fireworks.

He would. Stamper has done sex with more vagina women than you've even seen or something.

In reality, the legs are usually the same length as the body so they're not really "wrong".

But in cartoon-ish drawings (especially anime), the rule is to typically make the legs longer because it's supposedly more attractive.

i just submitted and after seeing some drawings i must say that some people isnt drawing LITTLE girls, but anywaysss they are still quite artistic.

i dont know how to use photoshop ... x _ x
i used Macromedia MX Professional 2004 , i have a problem when pasing the stuff i draw to jpeg format , since i can only save the file in flash format.

What i do is to copy/paste it to paint :( but it gets a bit disorted and crappy.
any tip or something to help me out?

thanks mindchamber and everyone else for this contestsss.

Well a normal woman's legs are as long at the lenght from her head to her crotch. You can make them longer if you want a more super-hero type woman.

Also, yours has really beefy arms :o
But I guess that's what you wanted, a sorta chunkier girl rather than a thin hero-type like I drew in my examples. Anyways. I would say that the biggest problems with it are:

1- The connexion of the shoulder with the torso on both arms
2- the transition between forearm and the hands ( hands are too small )
3- hands are concealed, so its hard to know what she's doing there :o
4- chains are made of links that er... link together, they don't just touch each other to form a line.

also make smoother lines :p I see so many people drawing with timid, short broken lines instead of using lots of swiftch, smooth sketcy motions to build the figure. Don't be afraid to put lots of lead on that paper :o
DO NOT FEAR THE PENCIL.

You can really "feel" the pose of green lined one. Something about it just captureds the stance perfectly. I have to spend hours to make stuff look right and usually dont get it. Good work.

Mess around in the publish settings, you can save a Flash as a JPEG, PNG, HTML, EXE and many other formats though the publish settings.

This is an idea for my entry, I wanted to do a gothic girl but not too extreme, as in no piercings, chains etc

I think for the final image I'm going to change this quite a bit, I want the same atmosphere but I need to work on the detail more. The textures were just ones I had on my computer already, I'm going to print the image off at A3 and paint into it to hopefully get a smoother looking image. The background was taken a month or two ago in an abandoned warehouse which is now used as a car park, I'll have to do some manipulation to this too because it's overpowering the image too much. Hopefully I can turn this into more of a digi art than a drawing, might even use some photos of skin and leather too.

I think it has to do with the feet, the feet are base for many poses and if the rooting to the ground looks weak, so does the rest of the character. (correct me if I'm wrong)

I still have a mass of difficulty trying to make strong and dynamic poses that don't look completely 2D
