basically it's an elitist buddy-back-patting system which has no real relation to actual quality of art or an formal guidelines or process...
so to answer your question, no there aren't any particular steps.

AC gets my vote. *pats back* ;)

I have a feeling someone is going to take the comment seriously and make a big deal about it because they have no life and thus have to create drama online to make it interesting. JUST a premonition

anyways. Alex Cooper! I already commented on this in DA. Looks just like your ink drawings. You're doing so good on these programs :)

Thanks Kasha. And Marcello, pretty damn funny. Kind of reminds me of another art community. Wait a minute, that would be an accurate description of EVERY art community. Good thing this one wasn't made with a cookie cutter.

deviantart.com makes me want to smoke crack till poodles are funny and cut off my hands.

I like the what you did with the sky. The sun and stars are superb.

very awesome.... looks good to me! there are some places where the coloring could use more depth, but if you are tired of this pic, I can understand... dont worry... it looks great! :) the sun is uber cool, by the way!

I like the look of this one. Is this a copy of something from one of their CD covers, or is this your own scene? Good job either way

The scene is my own, but I did use a reference from the CD booklet to finish up the face.

I like the statues they build in graveyards. They often build some really nice ones. It is mostly the dead young people and the children who get the most beautiful statues on their tombstones. I once saw a strange looking angel holding a piece of broken glass. I have also heard that some thieves often steal these statues. I heard of a story of a little girl who was not older than 4 or 5 years old when she died and her parents hired a very skillful sculptor to create an extremely accurate and lifesize statue of their little girl with angel wings. And decades after her death, graverobbers stole the entire statue and the parents felt very sad. <:(

This is so dramatic it left me in awe. I love how she drapes herself over the pedestal as if she is weeping and lost. You dig deep inside of yourself when you draw and you should continue to do that.

lovely, all versions look nice

This would make a great t shirt design
nice concept zack
Someone should look into getting these printed, aren't there sites where you can get your designs printed fairly cheap and only on demand?
I'm sure there would be people on this site who would want a t shirt like this
I know its been discussed before but i think someone should make a go of it

Oooo great final version! Looks good!

I like the straight lines. :)

How beautiful! welcome to 2draw! im looking forward to seeing more of your work

O0o0o. I'm in love with this.

very pretty, i like much!

drawings shouldnt come this blurred....

If I'm the one holding the sword it is.

bump - it's not the quantity of time spent on the drawing, it's the quality. ;)

I'd say, experiment with more tools. Do get solid, professional lines, try the pen tool and raise the grey slide bar to max (255). Even if you dont want to use lineart, dramatic shadows and highlights help make a picture give off a greater impact.

Terrific job, you both did excellent,

The stained glass effect is fantastic. This looks a little like it belongs in a tarot deck.

What an interesting way of working. Fantastic stuff.

it is creepy. Looks almost like clay. :) good job.

Use it everywhere but the bathroom, that would be just too creepy lol Great job D this is absotivelutely neato

Ya know...it does look like clay :) Thank you both.

Did Megaman lose his arm if he's using a shotgun now^^;?

Aw! What adorable wittle figures!
