*jaw drops* I want him in my dreams. *blink* anyhoo. Amazing amazing amazing.....and amazing :rolleyes: I am SO in love with this drawing! It's incredibly what ink and then color does to change the feeling of a sketch. The colors are so beautiful. I really like the choice of making the wings brown. I would normally think of white, which is nice, but pretty sterotypical after a while. The brownish wings give a much more natural and friendly look to me at least. Fantastic job, and I am dying to see more of your work.

Man, I KNEW the coloured version of this pic would rock, and you didn't disappoint! The colours you chose are terrific...if only I had Photoshop...

Just how long does a project like this take? Judging by the "@_x", I'm getting the feeling it took quite a while. :)

*HIGH FIVE* Dude, you gotta do more now!

On estimation, I'd say around 12 or so hours. I always tend to get a little anxious and then almost crazy in the last hour or so, trying to get it all done. (I'm a person who likes fast results, and because of that, I can't oil paint...) I've got the advantage of a 4" x 6" WACOM Graphire tablet in addition to Photoshop, though, which I've found helps a heck of a lot.

If anyone wants to see more, I have a Side 7 archive (http://www.side7.com/cgi-bin/S7SDB/Archive.pl?ANO=621) (I'd direct to my actual site, but tis down right now. :( ) Lots of G art in there, as well as some Gundam Wing, some furries, original characters and I think my X-Men Evolution Nightcrawler is still in there, as well.

oooo, I like that. Flawless, it really is and I envy your ability in coimputer colouring. Perfect lines, and nothing seems to spoil the effect - well proportioned a stunning composition.

Buy yourself a cookie!

Oh its beautiful. I am very much looking forward to looking at more of your art work. I only wish I was only here to comment on your piece earlier.
