Yay! The cross-hatched angry Tanya was well-received. I is happy. At the rate I've been drawing and inking lately, I'm going to have to buy more Copic multi-liners. Mine are a year old (and drying out from lack of use)! But Anime Expo is coming up, so I'll just buy a new pack there!
Zalabar: Thank you so much for critiquing! And yeah, I noticed later that I should really have shaded more beneath Tanya. But I have a iron-clad excuse! I'm lazy. Ahem. And my attention span tends to be short on my artwork. =)
Deathscythe13x: Deviant Art intimidates me. I have some friends and acquaintances on there, and their artwork is so incredibly awesome! Two of my ex-classmates on there have both placed in the Rising Stars in Manga contests, and they're both being published soon. One by Slave Labor, and the other by Tokyo Pop! I personally won't feel comfortable going there until I get more practice. XD You should see how many rough sketches and erasing I go through when trying to find the right pose.
Crescent Puslar: You asked for it! But I've done my fully-inked thing for the day, so here's some unfinished images that I'm doing for other people.
1:
I'm a banana!
2:
My spoon is too big!
3:
I'm a consumer whore!
4:
Only silly hats allowed.
Notes for #3: It's just the Sia image, with the outline layer removed! Oooh, weirdness. It's not visible, but the piece is actually about eleven or so layers of color. I generally separate each major article of attire into a different layer for coloring (vest, beanie, accessories, etc). Oh, and yes, I was stupid enough to color it diagonally, which made things more difficult for me than it could have been. Oh, damn my masochistic tendencies!
Notes for #4: There's something insidiously wrong with that picture. I think his head is too big! But that could just be a reflection of the eventual evolution of all idols. I think it could be fixed if I were to broaden the shoulders and lengthen the arms, but then again, I don't want to finish that picture! ;> I was just messing around trying to do my own version of that male idol.
Another note: If you can guess where the title quotes to each image are from (they're all from the same thing), I'll draw you something! =D I don't promise that it'll be detailed or very good, but it'll be something. =>

But I still can critique!
