Use Google Chrome, its far better than it used to be and has virtually no issues with anything :3
Brilliantly detailed pic btw :D

Ah but i'd have to get used to it. My Firefox almost has no parts that are not customized to death. I think of it as an old trusted friend. XD

Well okay :P The muscle definition looks fantastic as well :3

Thank you thank you. :D

May I ask... I have been having urges to draw recently but I am... Pretty crap :P I play music, write and do other creative things so I realize that there is no magical way to suddenly become amazing at that sort of thing. Just wondering if you had any artistic tips for me? How to learn to draw properly and such :3

My advices are very subjective, i warn you. :P I'm the kind of person who does things *that* way when people tell them to do things *this* way if you know what i mean.

Sketch during school. During lessons (easier if you are in an art school, teachers are tolerating that stuff there). Sketching is the mother of art. :V I find that i do the best sketches while i'm supposed to do something else. While watching TV, listening to people talk, during school, waiting for something, etc. And don't restrict yourself by telling yourself things like "i'm not supposed to draw this". Artists SUPPOSED to break rules when their instincts tell them to.

Don't pay attention to tutorials. There is no way a beginner would know which tutorial is good and which is not. Like 80% of tutorials are bad because they were done by beginners who don't really know much yet. (it's a 'thing' to make tutorials nowadays) But if you are 100% sure the tutorial you are looking at is done by an über pro artist, then by all means study it. But you are better off studying art done by artists you admire. I had idols too, like... Todd Lockwood, for years. And Donato Giancola. And stuff. :P

Basically observation is more important than drawing if you want to learn. 1, observe 2, understand 3, experiment/sketch. Keep a folder for reference pictures - ref pics help a LOT if you are unsure about something.

If it means something, i started taking art seriously when i drew a truckload of Pokémon/Digimon fanart (it was when the first Pokémon generation was still new and Digimon didn't even come out yet). I was drawing for myself, didn't go public like i do now. It's easier to draw for yourself and keep it for yourself if you are nervous like me.

Thank you for the advice :3

Sorry I didnt get back to you via note! I was driving for 5 hours :P anyway, I love this work! you are simply fantastic at painting <3

Oh okay. I'm a worry-machine, heheh.
And thank you~

*gulp*

How do you not love this!?

wow it looks fantastic! i love the texture you gave em! and i, and my firefox browser, dont see any stripes, =)

Very nice, looks wonderfully textured and coloured

Maybe it is my screen brightness setting issue, but I feel that your images would benefit if there was more contrast to them, especially in the range of shadows (they could be darker).
Just to make sure, I double checked with an external program on different gamma settings, so I think it is not a screen issue. Still this may be a personal preference, so please take this suggestion lightly :)

Well looking at how this is the first time i ever heard this... The feedback i get on my usage of contrast can be summarized like this: "i admire how strong the contrast is on your artworks". So i'm wearing my WTF face now.

Yes, I see that a lot of your color works carries similar color valuing, that's why I am careful. Like I said, this may be a personal preference or a hardware issue, so you should verify this yourself :)

Hm, perhaps I could illustrate this with photoshop and send you a reference? Or upload into scraps?

I don't think it's necessary. I purposely don't go near black, i stop around 5-10% brightness for a lot of reasons.

Ok :)

I love this all, but particularly how the chest and waist are so distinct, and the near side hind leg. My anatomy is atrocious.
