Also, what makes your style stand out from everyone elses? What personal touches do you give your work that really scream "Hey world, Drakenyaze drew this!"? I know a guy who draws a lot like you. What makes you different than him?' Try a some more splashes of colour here and there as well.

I'm not saying your work is bad. Not at all. I like where you're going with these. It just seems a little bland.
Many thanks for the comment carboardwarrior I love when i get constructive criticism from ppl so thank you :D what makes my style different actually i was think about this last night and you know what i got nothing so i really need to work on that lol :D, pretty much still working on my own once again thanks for the comment i will try to take these words to good use just how i have done with allot of advice i have gotten from ppl, thanks again :D

Any time. Do you do any landscape pictures? I want to see what the world around these characters is like. I'm imagining something like a fucked up Dr. Seuss book, but that's just me.
A quick idea. When you start doing backgrounds and such for your fellers, try cutting them out and pasting them onto a scenic picture done in pastel. That'd be great if you took a 50's inspired 'perfect family' portrait and put your characters over the faces.

Landscape I have done a few but not allot of them are really great lol and there is 3 world like places they live in and one is very F'ed up lol, and the idea you have gave for the 50's family thing I found that to be a funny idea might try it :P, but eventually i will post landscape but in the mean time again i love posting updates on this photo lol :P

<copy and paste from DA> well here is a pic that i'm letting you decide on how i finish it
1. color it in
2. continue to shade and not color

this picture is based of 2 character who will most likely never actually meat

the guy getting chocked and has the sword is the main protagonist from hellknight1000 story Heavens only shadow

the guy doing the chocking is my main antagonist from my manga Damned to hell

I am actually hoping to cooperate with Hellknight1000 to make a bunch of images based on the 2 stories characters in fights but idk but anyways I got permission to use his character so yeah

You Decide the images fate

So what do you find that it is so lovable about the Joker? The riddler not even the penguin could not even come around to his level evil yet at the same time being able to deliver a few laughs. It's sort of hard to find one comic book villain as funny like him.

Idk what i really like about the joker but ever since i was younger when i first saw the joker i though that he was amazing just how he acted and stuff :P he was just overall has always been a really well made character

so the picture is scary eh lol, anyways thanks for the comment

Hope to be posting some things here soon [not many of you will recognize me] but if none of you mind I have a quick question for you regulars..

How do you develop consistency into your drawings? I'm starting a new flash (i know! Not wrong board) project and am going to need to consistently reproduce sequences of characters. ie running sequences, the like.. but it seems like most of the time when i do this, it looks too messy-and like a bunch of loosely stringed together frames instead of one body type running.

just sorta looking for a more insightful artists approach to reproducing drawings that flow together..i know it probably takes a lot of anatomy knowledge to do this well but..yeah........any advice?

How dare you forget about NG! That looks heaps good. The shading on his croutch could be improved. Is there a face on the end of the gun? I prefer your more colourful pieces but this is still done really well. What do you use to colour your drawings? You definently have improved quite a lot since the start of this thread :D
