...If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails....

Merged your two posts. No need to double-post, the updates were both made in the same day. (Just edit the previous post and update it with the new information.) =] (Not a verbal warn, just a friendly reminder.)
Anyway, I really like what you've done with the wolf! It looks dreamy.

Ah, sorry about that! I was in a hurry to post so I didn't realize it. Apologies~
Thank you for the reply. Being able to do animals with airbrushing and smudging does wonders, so I look forward to making monsters for my own project.

It gives it a "painting" look, which is a neat style; especially for animals with fur or feathers. =] You're welcome. I'm looking forward to seeing your next piece of art. ^^

It really does, which is what caught my attention. One day I'll be able to utilize more graphic tools~ The look for feathers I'll definitely need in the future now that you mention it
I will have to go back and edit the face, though. I think the commissioner doesn't like the fluffy look, lol

One thing you should really watch for is your proportions as they are off. For example, that neck in your shot above is really long and thick and it looks more like a giraffe than a human neck. I think that you are on the right track and with some studying up on proportion and a little more practice you can do some really nice things.

You think so? I don't know if you mean his neck is too long when there are exaggerated features in anime artwork, taking into account styles also. I can't say too much on the Dusk picture as I did it a year ago but I did intend for him to look that way~

Style Test I came up with him last night at random. I was testing a style and came up with him~

@Dusk The piece is beautiful. However, I can see where Bacon is coming from. The neck does seem a little too tall and thick, but I love the colors and shadows.
@Lowell O_O!!! The strokes you did with the airbrush are wonderful. It looks real with a little fantasy mixed in there. Well done! You bring a strong presentation to Alpha & Omega!
@Scarlet Queen Glyph For some reason this reminds me of Kingdom Hearts lol. The designs are pretty good. I like the one on the bottom.
@Samurai Boy This definately reminds me of Tetsuya Nomura's art style in Brave Fencer Musashi. I would love to see that one photoshopped! The clothing in this one was well designed. Good job!

Darn. Lol! I know~ I'll make a new drawing, not the same but of a bust like this with Dusk. Though I would never think of redoing ALL of my past work
The eyes might need to be touched up a bit, but yes, I like how it turned out as well~ I can't wait to hear the music you have created for the project as well.
Bah! It's too crappy for that, lol! The bottom one was the final out of them all. The top two were the concepts leading up to it. I just have to put it together in a editor~
It does, doesn't it? I knew those thoughts were coming from somewhere, hehe. I had the game once but I didn't like it T_T Thank you for your comments, X~

Emil put up three tracks I did for it on the front page on the BN website. He also put up a art exhibit video featuring your artwork. BlackNekos Studios

I did check out the site but forgot to look for the music, most likely, I think. I'll go back and check. Thanks~

After a good amount of time, I was able to finish this oldie. I'm happy with what I can do with the graphics editors I use but, I look forward to when I'm at least intermediate~
Legion Wings

While I agree that more practice in graphic editing programs may be useful to you, I further agree that you've done an excellent job with these images. =]
I especially like the last two (Ovara Marie and Legion Wings). Very colourful, on Legion Wings, and it is somewhat reminiscent of D.N.Angel (in my opinion). Ovara Marie is just very well done - period! ^^
Thank you very much, I appreciate it~ I have confidence in what I can do, yet never want to be overconfident. Especially with an audience
I'll have a lot more work in the days to come; some new, others WIPs completed.
Here is a completed commission of wanzer_panzer's project. Still unnamed, a character bust from Front Mission: Blitz Conflikt.
FM: Blitz Conflikt "Second" Character finished

Your angle work is really coming along nicely, love the little pose sketch in the bottom right - I went through a phase of drawing loads of those.
I'd love to see more of your coloured work, personally I think some of the black is a bit too heavy compared to the line work.
