forgive the lightness of this scan but i wanted to show the difference of this and the end result of me darkening it in paintshop. also, the face looks a little weird to me, then again, i have been staring at it for several hours now. anyway, yeah, there it is. about 2 hours in.

Nice one on that forelast. You are clearly a manga specialist and you did a very nice job on the background

sorry there is nothing good to show my progress between 2 and 3, but i got on a roll when i got home this evening and my pencil couldn't stop, so here you go, semi finished product. all that remains is the fun altering in paintshop to counter what all the scanner kills in detail and darkness.

thar she blows, finished and fixed up with paintshop, i have about 12 more ideas on the board, i just have no clue which to do first,.....sadly i have about a week and a few days until GenCon and i dont know which to start on......so i guess you guys can choose..... Here are your choices. 1. Zaar - mercenary, weretiger, has a pet dragon named fenix(odd since he breaths ice) 2. Gwaylar - wild elf demigod, dark and mysterious type 3. Anoriah - mercenery, psion, Zaar's wife 4. Geston - sorceror, uses spiders, part dragon, has a spawn like cloak that has a massive spider web on it 5. female version of Hitman (video game) 6. Tifa Lockhart but not the typically one, i plan on modding clouds outfit for her and her with a buster sword or something (i never even played FF7) 7. Princess of Persia (cause there should be one) 8. female version of Vincent Valentine 9. fielder's choice - that is to say, you go to my deviantart page and pick a char on there i havent done recently (this year) and i'll redraw it so, yeah, help me out here...

I like your pirate, she looks great. I particularly like the detail on the rope her foot is resting on, how each twist of rope stands out, very nice. I think you should draw Zaar, sounds like an interesting character

Ok guys and gals, this is Zaar, and this is what i get for going against the majority vote but heres the problem,......i just doctored the living crap out of this one and it still looks like.....well, no english word for it so i'm gonna use shizno (red vs blue reference). Zaar here looks fine to me, but the background is absolute garden fertilizer. Unless one of you people vastly disagree, i'm going to scrap(erase) it and leave Zaar alone, then draw back another background, so what i need is feedback on whether i should leave it be, or give me another idea on a background to replace it. This is no where near what i wanted it to look like.....

Awww I think you're a bit hard on yourself. A lot of the time our drawings don't turn out as we imagined they would. Having said that, there's no reason why you can't re-work the background if you feel that way inclined. I'd suggest either adding different shades of grey, getting darker and blurier the further away you go to the current background, or re-work it as you see fit Or, maybe start on something else and come back to this one... give your imagination a break from this one if it is frustrating you too much. Keep your chin up, you're doing just fine!

I don’t see anything wrong with the background as it is but if you want to try a minor change instead of scraping the whole thing may I suggest adding some more leaves on the trees and try adding a sunbeam or two shining through the branches.
Hope it helps WILL
