Hey guys, I want some background drawing tips. Something is missing with my style, I am satisfied with it, but I just want to add a tad bit more detail to my pictures. So can you guys help me out? Any tips?

I'd like to see a bit more vivid coloring. What you have there appears kind of washed out, like when you're paining and using white to lighten your color, everything winds us looking a bit faded.

It's a pretty good background, however.

Around here at least, there are a couple places you can go to, if you supply the shirts and the graphics, they'll print the shirts for pretty reasonable prices. Don't know about where you are though.

I've been doing that for my one color designs and It's been turning out great and cheap but around PR there is no screen printing shop and the shop I go to for my one color designs don't do screen printing and I wanna try out a few more colors. Any help would be great.

Nice drawing.

I really wish there was a quick post. Anyway I think my picture is a little 'faded' because of the feint light source that I added. If I take it out the colors would be a little vivid. I put that there because I wanted to have a sense of brightness in the sky while gazing beyond the depths of the forest. I'll take it out and then let you compare:

Hiya everyone!
I just wanted to ask, that how many of you likes to draw "Fan-art"?
It doesn't have to be your own character(s) from some, example, TV-show.
I mean, does anyone of you draw Mario characters?
I really like to draw them.
And I really like of Mario games, too.
Hope to see some answers...

Nintendo is indeed awesome and they make legendary titles. I do like drawing videogame characters and I'm working on an animation now based off an internet joke of Mario 64. I also made my 'own' version of Megaman a while back, what do you think?

Thank you man, I appreciate those words. Although I can be so much better, I have to just keep practicing and listen to my superiors here! BTW I detailed my background a little bit more in the forground. Still the grass i know I can do better but its hard trying to add dimension to, its one of my biggest qualms right now.

Yeah I do enjoy do enjoy doing some fan art when it is really something done out of there own interpretation based on what they've experienced from it ,Cannon or not. However I would never take the advantage to sale out for some fan service.

So since it's nearly here, anyone got plans for New Year's Eve?
Personally, me and some friends are going to a banquet hall.

Did I mention there's an open bar?

I just finished playing this bear's game.
It's really accomplished, the three of you have made a great work! Its only weak point is the game mechanic, it's rather bland, but it's understandable given the "beat the clock" nature of the Jam, and you managed to bring the most of it. In hands of other three chaps, this wouldn't come out as good.
Cheers, matey!

Yeah, that's fine and all, but the lounge is a place for open discussion about whatever. If you want critiques, it's best to make a personal art thread.

They used my art for medals! I feel special. Also considering I did like the at least 50% of the art, I feel like I shouldn't be an "additional artist" anymore but that's just me.

Good job to everyone who participated, I've loved playing the games.
