Good point.
Now you have an ironclad excuse to toss him a hundred yards, whenever someone hits him.

*Laugh!!!* XD It seems I have missed a great conversation. Though that might explain a lot, what Blood said. ;D *Snrk* Exactly what Fox would want.  |

I have completed "Annoyance"! I thoroughly enjoyed doing Jax's ship interior, and I have a feeling this won't be the last time I draw it. ;3 I also saved it without words...'cause..I dunno. I just liked it better...but it didn't make sense without the text. D: |

Heh. ;D
Nice.
The whole space out the window looked neat...

Care to explain how you pulled off that wicked sweet, star field?
I like the diffuse light around the stars too.
How'd you pull that one without layers?

I did the starfield first. I just used the magic wand tool for the window, and inked everything else after I got that done.
The stars are brushes of various sizes and colors set at "scatter", about 50-70% opacity, and spaced rather far apart. Then motion blur for the, well...motion blur.

Nuts.
I don't think my brush tool has a "scatter" setting.
I've been using a Duplicate Layer + Gaussian Blur, for a similar effect, but it doesn't leave those nice misty centers, or have such a nice sense of depth.
It's hard to do sci-f if you can't draw stars, without losing the snse of distance.

Hmm...fragment blur might do it, but it'd take some experimentation...

Heh. I need to get Paint. Net back, so I can play with these things, also. T.T Alas, my computer refuses, still.  |

*blows the dust off this thread* I've been busy with school, and arts. Yeeg. Update #1: I re-did "Danger Ahead". A little bit more painful, for Fox, this time...but at least the anatomy on Alex is a lot better. Update #2: Night is up. I had to edit out some words, as they weren't exactly appropriate to post. What's going on, here? Well..after the violence depicted, in the family portrait picture, one can only imagine. Currently working on Fairy Tale, and soon after will be sketching I Can't. Also discussing some concepts for Mother Nature, with one of my art muses. |

Ooh...That's gotta' hurt...
Heh. I think I like the new version of Danger Ahead better, actually...
As for Night, it looks like her neck attaches a put too far forward for her shoulders to be where they are, as well as the rest of her body...or maybe her shoulders just look like they're too far back 'cuz of the way her hair goes over them, or something...
Anyway, the rest of the piece looks good.

A lot of it has to do with her hair. 'Cause the actual sketch looked okay, but when I added the hair..it was all..weird. Fairy Tale and I Can't are both up. I know...I'm whipping these out, fast. I need to get 'em done, 'cause I have requests to do...and I won't be able to do anything, come February. Fairy Tale was fun. Wings were annoying..but at least it was enjoyable. The guy in green is a friend's character...'cause I only have two effeminate winged guys. ^^; I Can't actually has a story behind it..but it'll most likely never see the light of day. The gun was fun to color, though. The reason behind the stormy background, here, was so I could draw a wet ground; because he's actually sliding down..and I didn't know how I'd show that, without mud/water/pebbles. Anatomy seems off....but neither I, nor my art/anatomy consultant could pinpoint it. |

Hmm...
I think the leg that is closer to the camera attaches a bit funny. I can't tell you how, exactly, but that's what it seems to be...
Nifty background, nonetheless.

Oh, neat. Ooo... *Pity for Fox* I'm so glad I'm not a guy... ... ... Night's pretty entertaining... XD Her tail looks a little awkward... trying to draw something sitting like that must be difficult with a tail... XP (I've gotta' try, now... ;D ) I'd say the joint at the knee looks a little skewed... it bends over to one side too far, and then it looks like it's bending quite a bit more than shading along the shin implies... Maybe if you asked someone to model it for you, you'd figure out the quirks? Or if you tried it, yourself? Those were just things I'd attempt, off the top of my head. Realy, though, I do think it's neat. I'd like to know the story...? |

I...found myself reading through the ENTIRE Crazy Quotes thread. It's very late, now. Typos will likely be abundant. :3
I still have the sketch....so I might re-do it. Preferably when it's not 3am. As for the story? It's actually part of a longer story...but I'll see if I can sum it up, in a few sentances:
Fox's rival is a shapeshifting alien, named Venessa. He was at a point where he had to possibly shoot her, or risk a massive killing of bystanders. Due to his pacifistic beliefs, he backed out..and Venessa took out a small crowd. Which then leads to this particular scene......right after, he goes into a fit of heaving.
