Felt pretty good. Maybe possibly work on actual comic pages coming in the near future.

Dawn reminds me of Daphne from Scooby Doo. You know, if she'd had turquoise hair.

Cool! I did kind of borrow her hairstyle so I guess that came across.

My lineart is nice and clean because I'm using the pen tool, and now my perspectives are starting to look better. But I feel some of the character of the drawings are lost. I hope I can learn to colour awesome to make up for it. >.>

I think it looks too rigid and sterile. A suggestion I've seen from other artists is to make those really straight, obviously "perfect" lines like what you have here, and then trace over them on a new layer, after which point you can get rid of the "perfect" layer. This way your lines will still be "correct" so much as they're following the general computerized lines, but with enough flaws/imperfections that it retains character without looking sloppy.

That's actually a great idea. It's such a simple fix too, so I'm totally trying that for my next page. Thank you!

Crystal and Dusk remind us of Ariel and Max (Prince Eric's dog). XD XD

What can I say I watch a lot of cartoons...

Alex's hair (which I screwed up in this pic) is normally a sort of wild/loose version of Belle's... just getting in before anyone else mentions it

Now that I have some spare time on my plate, I can get started on a cast page for ToP. I will be drawing the characters in a series of cards. So I'm starting off with the main antagonist. I will be adding colour over the weekend. :)

That gentleman is quite proud of his abs, I'd say. And, honestly, who wouldn't be, with abs like that.

That's pretty representative of what my abs look like too.

You know, just so you ladies know.

That makes sense, I figured your abs looked like they were drawn on.
