NIB! You have got to teach me how to draw!
I'll have to admit, the eye blew me away :ok: Even I don't draw them with that much detail and...style (no exagg there ;) ) Great work Thunder! :rock: See? I told you if you stopped being lazy in drawing you'd pull it off rather well :cool: Now if you could just give the same amount of attention to the hair and headdress... :ok:
Sky, you could borrow the samples/models I left Thunder if you think you'd like to base an artstyle there. Actually, I recommend you just pick your favorite artist, copy whatever you think is key/essential, then...
Let's see what did I tell Thunder...(or what I think I told her anyways :buck: )
Basta: Just copy like hell at first, get a feel of how it is to draw. Then when you're confident enough slowly segregate yourself from it, try incorporating your own touch, or making it stand out more. Finally, produce art with the least amount of referencing on your part. Always strive to depict things your own way.
Important note, but not as relevant unless people actually plan to take drawing seriously: Most artists seem to rock just because they're better than most at emulating another popular artstyle. A lot of talents stagnate here. The real legends are the ones whose art seems so developed that you'd have trouble finding out where they started from :nuts: These, are GODS :notworthy:

TRP:
Someone give me a job as a character designer/cover artist. I don't care if you pay me less than minimum wage at first (heck with what I'm earning now it's not that hard to adjust :feeble, jaded laugh: ), just let me have this illusion that I'm actually on the way to realizing part of my dreams.
