I can't get past the thought that this guy looks like he's takin' a leak..... would anyone else like to work on this? I'm tired of it.... I'm callin' it done, but there is more space if someone wants to do whatever to it...

Well.. I thought those were rocks in version four and I liked those rocks. Whatever it was, it was really nice and I'm looking forward to see where you're going next with this.

Don't give up on it.. hell you could put a fishing rod in his hands and it wouldn't look like he was takin a leak! lol And have him fishin on the edge of a lake. Who knows. Is a good start to a picture though.

Nice perspective on this...you are way too hard on yourself! Stop that at once and finish this. Do what Aubrey said and have him fishing... :]

. . . . can someone think of story? I don't know, really. I guess this is just random. Will finish this later, its far from being done.

Looks like a classic romantic tragedy.....Romeo and Juliet with a twist comes to mind. Very pretty color combination.

Tired my hand at a different board. Boy did it feel foreign to me... Ah well it was a nice experience. Harder for me to control the tools on this one than Paint BBS. Only way I will get better is to play with it some more. But for now I am pleased with my Uni. I realize her face and body is a bit off in areas but I did the best I could. Perhaps when I have more time I will return and work on this piece again.

Oh, its so cute! Even tho' I don't really like that type of neopet, and its colored pink (I'm begrudged against pink, no offense to you or anything) its still cute. You might want to add a background and shading to it, and maybe give it a right hind leg.....otherwise, nice job! ^^

Gigge (Jun 29, 2004)

Very sweet, Craven. Poor little thing is missing a leg. :(

That is a really neat and fun picture. I think you should give the pony a stomach. but it is soo cute!

I drew this the way it is on the Neopets site. They don't show the other leg so I tried to do mine as they have displayed theirs. I didn't get the angle just right so perhaps in time I will go in and re-do the tummy and "missing leg" LOL. Source: Located here: http://www.neopets.com/search.phtml?string=Veriania

I really had fun doing this piece. It turned out better than I imagined. :-) I can definitley see an improvement in my work now. I wonder if I am yet able to advance to the next board or do I still need more practice?

its pretty good, nice pic... but i think u still need abit more practise..
the colours look flat, plus theres no highlights and shadin...
also the line art is kinda jaged, maybe u should use the pen tool or watercolour tool to get smother lines... just a suggestion anyway...

cute dragon, i like it.

Gigge (Jun 29, 2004)

I don't know this character, but he's very colorful. I think Sal's right. This is awfully cute, but playing around with shading might be good practice before trying an 'intermediate' piece.

I will do my best :-) I thought I would post a link to familiarize some of you with this Neopet. http://www.neopets.com/search.phtml?string=Miquire I was going to apply for her but the owner received some really bad requests so she decided it was best to remove it from the data base. Good expereince though.
