One dark night in Transylvania.....Great scene Roytje

Thanks Dave and Deino :)
Yes, no happy colours this time.

"You do not vant to go up dere, it is said de Count lives dere. He is vampere... turn avay lad, turn avay now...."

Poppa got me thinking. Great atmousphere in this piece. It also reminds me of the opening of Young Frankenstien when they used the circular fade out/in (not sure if that's the technical term) from the castle to Froedrick.

Zeppish with a lot of Solvation. Good one Marcus

This makes me think asian and ancient.

Yes, the japanese masks they sometimes wear. Neato.

haha, mike - I WISH I were my own boss...
Thanks, Gem

Lovely, I especially like the freckels. Great picture.

It's like the doggie on cowboy beebop (imho)

Great picture, Dino!

smokin'.

Thanks for the comments ^^

The battle with the Boss had the beautiest setting in any boss battle I have ever seen :0 (Sephiroth's "heaven" is another)... and the theme song x) ¡Snake Eater! (And yes, she was very hard to defeat...)

I said it, I keep saying it. SHOWCASE!

Deino, this is ab-so-lutely stunning. Bravo sir, bravo. Take a well deserved bow.

^///^

Thanks Sweetcell!

sharp-wittedness.. haha. and no, I haven't seen one of these.
We grow our own vegetables here. In the Kibbuz. :P

Another analogy: An onion can look good on the inside, but if you look deeper and peel the layers away some can hide rotten cores. Some heavy theological thinking goin on here.

Is pweety onion. Yup.

"Ogres have layers...like and onion." The Shrek movie. Nice pic.

that poor thing..:(

That's a well loved (or mis-treated) bear. I like to think it was loved. Look at that button eye, and the bit of stuffing coming out. Yes, it was squeezed quite tight. Made me smile.

didn't think about it this way sweetcell, you may be right. :D
i have this pillow that me and my nephews love. it has the ugliest stains you could think of.

Aw, I love the way it's blushing slightly, and the curl of it's tail.

Lovely shading as well. Yummy.

i love that little monkey its so cute

God this makes me nostalgic.

I'm being a hipocrite.... dang... I love it, but, I think you should get away from the 2nd-grader-like sun. The up in the corner thing... kinda little-kiddish. I have no room to say anything, since, I have a sun simalar on my llama picture... oh well... I'll get to work on that....

Ok, Wild Mustang Girl, not to sound like a bitch but you need to advance a bit before you critique. Keikai has come a long way from when she started and has well improved, take your same advice mmkay?

Keikai your working well. Your line art is improving, and glad you took the advice about direct light. The shading came out fine. Akiska's right leg would be darker because his body would cast a shadow and so would Sai's. Some strips of grass under and over their paws would break up the feeling that their floating, which is what it looks like at the moment, and don't be afraid to work more on the clouds. Not so much blobs but fluffy cotton. As for the sun make it smaller and less bright and try to blend or wash out the yellow a bit so it isn't as harsh a contrast between the sky and sun.

Really are improving girlfriend. Well done. I like it, and the story.

Thanks sweetcell. I'll try to keep improving with your help. In a way I'm gonna have to agree with Mustang Girl, the suns I make look sort of childish. Oh well, with the info you gave me I'm sure I'll figure out a way to make it better. I'll remember to use the grass idea for my future pictures since I've been doing grass a lot lately. Thanks so much for all your help!
