This is awesome.

but I think I may have a big challenge for you. Or do I? whether or not it is challenging is up to you.

So . . . are you going to give me this challenge or just tease me with the possibility of a challenge?

Well to put it to short. try drawing my persona inflating in this style with his circuit lines actually glowing. now is that a challenge?

Sounds more like a request than a challenge.

yeah good point.

Well, to my eye, the highlights look pretty good. The glows aren't quite angled correctly in correlation with the shine marks, but the technique used in making them looks fine to me. As to the lines, they look all right as well; the colored lines accentuate the pastel tones elsewhere in the image, making it brighter. The shading in particular is nice and smooth without looking lumpy.

The only thing I'm leery of is your work with faces, but you seem to have made that criticism yourself. The eyes look flat, and parts of the face are angled oddly, the mouth and jaw in particular. The feet look a little funny compared with the hands, which are more distinct.

I could go on for a bit, but I think you get the idea.

Thanks for the input, I'll see what I can do to concentrate on those areas. I know that the highlights don't all go the same direction, it was an attempt to make the area look more rounded. For some reason I have yet to determine it worked better on the Tombfyre pic than it did in this one.

Oh well, back to the drawing board.

That's truly adorable and sweet! <3

Thank you!

You know what else is adorable? I just figured out that, as soon as Bungle Bear gets airborne, he's going to float up and bounce into Blue's no-doubt inflated belly. Man, I should have drawn, that, THAT would have been adorable.

Heee, it would be great! :D

Eee! Thankyee. Cute stuff :).

Now how to get Mr Bearskunk expanding faster... n..n

Nothing for it but to just practice. Gotta train every other day, inflate at least three miles.

Wait. . . I may be thinking of physical fitness and running . . . hmmm.

Love it! Thank you so much :) And very nice idea, too! :)

Blue's had a bit more stretching practice than me, need to fix that!!

Really like the direction you're going with your colouring and inking, I might have to dabble in some changes myself - it seems to add a refreshing difference to the final pieces! :)

Hmmm, maybe I should post a step-by-step instruction or something.

I kinda get where you are going. They are more cartoony but the shading and hilights are more realistic.

Blue certainly is a master of self-inflation..

Looks really, love how shiny they look ^^
