I don't know about the colouring. I'm too busy being shocked by her huge neck. Also, why does the hand suddenly get darker?

Thats an issue I am having lately, womens necks. I knew it was bad on her, and I showed it to the "client" and she said it was fine by her. Definately something I am focusing on as I practice though, thanks for the crit. The hand is colored bad because I just did that tone/color whatever up quickly, I tried to explain that in the first post, but guess it didn't get across.

Thanks for the links, I have paroused many of those articles in the past, but some are of help to me. None of them really touch on excactly what I want though, but they are of great help regardless, thank you. I'll scan a pic of somebodys work that I want to emulate here in a bit to see if anyone has any further ideas.

The newer art looks better, even without the pornage. How are things going on this?

Hi all,

I've been doing inked drawings for a bit, but have been wanting to try adding some tones to give them a more finished feel. I currently do up my stuff like this image here:


I've messed around with just coloring in black and whites in photoshop, and adding screentones never seems to work out right either. Best I've done is to color normally and then convert to grayscale. This dosen't look right, or seem right to me. Looks something like this (unfinished, just to show my meaning, thats where the weirdness in the hand come from):


Anybody have any advice on how to tone this up properly? One problem of my art is that things can get kind of muddled on my larger Illustrations, takes a moment to decipher, I am hoping if I can tone it will help set things apart.

Thanks for any help.

Nik, this sort of music can be made pretty high quality from home, been done (to death) a thousand times. Equipment is spendy, but so are guitars, amps and cabinets and PA systems and drums etc.

I would be performing racially charged stand up comedy at the Appollo theatre and working on co-starring with Jackie Chan in an action movie called Shanghai 3:00.

I listened for a bit, and it reminded me of my days playing clubs. Seemed like every band sounded like this for awhile, my bro even had one. It is very NIN like in my "average guy" understanding of this type of music.

Biggest things I felt, was that the songs didn't convey what they were intended to convey. Had they been just mindless dance music, that would have been fine. But I don't think thats what you intended.

The other thing would be that it seemed very unrefined. I'm not sure what equipment you are working with, but maybe hiring some help or making a deal with some folks with better equipment would do you some good. I managed to get my "Album" digitaly recorded and mixed by a local sound studio, because I gigged with them a bit. I'm not sure if that is an option for you, but it's one you should think about if you are at least moderately serious about this.

Keep making music though man, there is talent here.

Not to piss anyone off (because I know he is tired of being blamed for stuff), but didn't DG make up a company and call it mappomedia? I can't remember more than that though...

I think we either need to scrap this, or be more lax with the rules.

OMFG! of course I have kittens.

My gal decided she wanted a cat a good while ago, and since then we have had kittens. Trust me when I say I never wanted them.

My cynicism has been on target though, since we got cats I have had to deal with crap everywhere, them climbing on my counters, getting onto my cabinets and breaking my dishes, knocking over house plants, scrathing up my stuff, and they even rip into any food I have that is in a plastic bag (chips, bread) even though I feed them constantly.

I got bitten much harder than I ever though a cat could bite awhile back, right through that fleshy area of my palm near my pinky finger. Now I have fleas biting me and I'm pretty sure one of the kittens has given me pinkeye.

I hate cats/kittens. They are a plague upon this land, and if I was a D&D Ranger, I would have +4 attack against them. 

For the fleas though, I vaccumed every thing in my house with a powerful shop vac, then followed with a normal vaccum, then spread some stuff out that is supposed to take care of them on the carpet, in three days I will vaccum again, then I will shampoo my carpets. I am hopeing it works, but they appear to still be here currently....

I have fleas infesting my house, chomping on my legs. I spent the majority of the day cleaning my house in a (probably vain) attempt to remove them.
