It might be pixely. I typically don't mess around too much with the render to notice. Yeah it's definetly sloppy. I guess I got lucky with my first one, and I didn't really get too much back yet lol. I hope I'll be doing better tomorrow.

I think it's an improvement.

I've already posted my comments on dA...and there really isn't anything else I can say...

Anyways, here is a banner and avatar.

@aggie: Your design should be a little more bold, and stand out.

Very proud of this one. Wish it was signature size...

Very nice, good coloring, nice job on the foreshortening on the blonde one.

Thank you! Define "foreshortening" please.
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

Foreshortening is when you draw things that are closer to the viewer, like her hand. It's a perspective thing.
Example:

It means that every other character is four times shorter than her. Looks good!

Hey, hey, sparks, welcome to the group.
I'm a big fan of your work, but I have a question. Why is it that you don't (at least that I've seen) do traditional art? You clearly have good knowledge of colors, composition, etc., so it seems like traditional art would be right up your alley.
Good stuff, aggie. Your proportioning and (as LJ said) foreshortening continue to improve.
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

Meh meh meh, I'm 6-D and I'm eloquent.

Ditto on everything he just said.
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

Traditional art? I'm not too familiar with categories and terms. Could you show me a few examples so that I can get a grasp on what you mean?
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

Traditional art means not digital. Drawing, painting, etc.

Examples:

Oh. I wouldn't be good at that type of art lol. I only barely have a grasp on what I am doing right now, so Tradition Art would be a some steps backwards as far as what I've been my time and efforts into. I suppose if an idea comes to me, it wouldn't hurt to try the idea.

AGH! I SO SEE THAT NOW!!

Should I delete her? I feel like deleting her. She wasn't very useful anyways...

I'm not too sure how well a GFX dude would do on the trad-art terrain, but it would definitely be interesting...
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

How about just select her w/ the lasso and bring down her size?

I can't get Garchomp right for some darn reason:

I'm going to attempt again. Hopefully I can pull off a better pose. :/
 
RE: GDI Smeargle, Spit That Out! - "It's okay, I'm an artist"

I like that Garchomp, Still really in to your use of gradients.
