The Lovely Samus Aran

Crap, I still don't remember how to copy the picture out of Paintshop and paste it here, so please put forth enough effort to click on the link below. I assure you you won't be dissapointed!

I know the background coulda looked better, but it's better than not having one at all. Right?

Hey, that's good! I like the detail you put into the metroid, and the heart thing is too funny. Perhaps the only flaw is that it seems you ran out of room to draw Samus's feet. Each time I take a look at your work I'm suprised by the skill you show for your age. You have a lot of potential, and I'm sure as you and your art continue to grow we'll be hearing good things from you.

Keep up the good work, man.

Well, the feet wouldda been nice, but I kinda wanted it that way. I'm very glad you like it :) I'm thinking that maybe if I go back and darken the background, it'd look better, but that's a lot of coloring O_o Also, I originally wanted to draw her the way she looks without her suit after you destroy Mother Brain in Metroid: Zero Mission (Short, but worth the buy!), but I couldn't find any pictures of that to go buy to get the general idea. I think I read that she looked like this in Super Metroid or something like that. Anyway, she looks great in Zero Mission.

Very nice indeed Trogdor, I'm unfamilair with the character herself but judging by her expression I get a pretty good idea :D

Great work, Trogdor!

In fact I think this is the best pic I've seen from you, and considering that Nightmare Before Christmas pic was pretty awesome, I think you're improving all the time.

Course, it doesn't hurt that I'm a die-hard Mteroid fan . . .;)

Fantastic pic, especially the cute l'il life-sucking Metroid. *L* Keep up the great work!

Here's a new piece I uploaded last night of a cartoony "Weird Al" Yankovic and Death. I've doodled them all over the front and back of a page in a school notebook that's running out of pages (Gotta get a fresh one outta the bereau(sp?).), and decided to draw more permanent ones. Don't ask me why, but I like to draw toony Death, and recently I've taken a liking to drawing him with toony Al, so I was thinking I'd make a weird little comic with the two. Well, here's my first pic:

Does anyone know how to get the actual picture on a post? I really wanna know, cuz I'm afraid that most people are too lazy to simply click on a link. I just want people to be able to see my art :(

Basically you need to find a place that will offer you webspace and allow you to hotlink your files. Most free sites (Tripod, Angelfire, Geocities, etc) have made it so you can't use your images anywhere else than on your site their, instead if you tried to directly link an image, it will either result in a different or broken image. Sites do this to help with bandwidth costs which can be very expensive.

Some auction sites or similar services allow hotlinking images. I've seen somepeople on these boards use Photobucket (http://www.photobucket.com/). I think if you look there's a stickied topic about hosting your files on Toon Zone even. What I think works best is to see if your ISP offers free webspace to it's customers - it's not uncommon to have up to 10MB of space, often without hotlinking restrictions. However, you'd have to look into that yourself, as it's different with most.

Although, I think many people here aren't too afraid or lazy to click on a link. Many people have to copy and paste URLs into new windows to see some artists work. In any case, good luck.
