Welp, guess I'm gonna have to post all my art... again... Hehehe! Well here you go people of TMM my meager work and drawings so far!;
To start, one of my earlier sketches that I actually completed the coloring to;
Persia Grove.jpg
Here's some pencil MG pics I sketched up a while back on MGU;
Image (2).jpg
Image (6).jpg
Image (5).jpg
Image (3).jpg
And one of the pencil sketches I scanned and colored;
Cindy colored.jpg
And here's the art I've done ever since I found out my Intuos tablet is the best thing ever;
Tyrin.png
Angela.png
Lynelle.png
Lynelle Pinup.png
And my latest work that I'm still working on. I've got the basic sketch done but I'm going to work on the linework and coloring and maybe add a backround to it too. This one's actually a redrawing of my first sketch that I've posted here, and to be honest I can't stop comparing the two!(This may be a problem...);
Persia.png

Hey! Nice to see you post your art here, also good to see you finally share that last pic with everyone.
As I mentioned before, her clothes look just great and are very well detailed, something I personally often find difficult to do, since I don't really know the best way to add creases and stuff.
Hope you finish her background soon and hope to see you colour her man

Damn, this took the better part of a week but I finally finished coloring and shading that picture, and here it is!;
PersiaFullColor.png
I kinda half-assed her shadow but hey I wanted to get done! Ahehe... heh.
To be honest I never thought I could pull off decent computer assisted shading the first time I did it but I can't stop looking at this like "Hey I drew that!" ... I have a feeling this is gonna be a problem down the line...
Self surprise aside I'm actually proud of this and my only regret is the time I had to put into it! (It took a week I could be using to work on schoolstuff...) Things are looking up!

Greetings
First of all congratulations since there´s an outstanding improvement in
your last works.
For instance, Linelle´s artwork looks much more dynamic than your first works,
even noticeable more than Tiring´s and Angela´s. Looking forward to see
her coloured too.
Now onto what seems to be your star, Persia. She has become a beauty indeed.
Your first work of her now looks like an old photo-graft depicting her in her
teens. Now she is full grown up, with a more mature expression, developed proportions
(perhaps a little bit "over-breasted") and a very fitting make up.
The details on her belt are nice and so is the overall shading.However her skin shading
seems just a little dim imo. Also her hair looks as if it was made of plastic but seeing
this is your first serious try on this matter it is a good take.
Just keep improving.
See you then.

Alright the reason the body shading is dim is because, like the hair, it too looked all plasticy and stuff before I tried to add fur texture to the highlight but all that did was make it look dimmer once I smoothed the edges with the water tool. I might just need to have a different approach with hair and fur...
And yes her breasts are literally the first thing everyone notices about her... Sigh, male gaze amirite? But I'm not too keen on changing it(She is after all one of my most endowed girls... Seconded only by Tyrin... Maybe I should stop putting their names as filenames... Hmm... but I digress!) Anyway, I'll have to sketch up some age charts for her and Ang, (All these characters are from different stories of mine that I've got thought up in my head btw) just so I can give those two's story some semblance of an explanation...
Thanks for the input though, glad to see the eye... well, seeing my artwork still!

Difficult to miss them when they are almost as big as her head...
But noticing that Lynelle is rather "petite" then this could be a way to balance
things a bit. It also show your capabilities when dealing with universal
proportions...

They are pretty much in a draw here (albeit it is somehow off putting in the case of Tyrin,
perhaps due to knowing she is an spec. ops. trooper and than those stuffs would seem to
be more counter-productive if she requires sneakiness and mobility, but just an opinion
from the writer of this. You can always pull out something ingenious to counter this)...
but then you have the final word...

Hey! Hold on a minute, I
LIKE he breasts... but then I like big breasted girls in general
As for the picture, I must say I am quite surprised by how well you did the shading, especially considering it was your first try at it, so it's VERY impressive
The hair doesn't really strike me as plasticky personally, it looks quite sleek. You could put some some shades and highlights in it to make it more detailed if you want. From personal experience, choosing the style of hair colouring can take a while, for me it took over half a year until I accidentally stumbled onto something I actually liked
I would also recommend the smudge tool for fading out the shading, it's the best in my opinion, you can set it to ~45% strength soft edge brush for smoothing out and 45% solid edge brush for doing fur texture, which I think can be done by making the whiter shade to have a slightly "jagged" looking edge to simulate fur, it looks especially great near stuff like shoulders where the fur visibly comes out in line art. To be honest I had no idea the water tool could even be used like that till you showed it's success.
And I was going to comment on the shadow but you already mentioned it was rushed. Though technically speaking a shadow can be done pretty quickly by just toggling opacity settings.
Also don't worry about it taking you a week, you will get faster at it... I currently take 20-30 days per picture so I feel like I waste a lot of my time in general
All-in-all a splendid job mate

Alright, just finished my latest sketch;
Angela2.png
I'm starting to get more and more proud of my work the more I improve... Granted everyone who gives feedback on my work helps too but I really need to get my abysmal self confidence up or I'm never going to have the drive to actually draw a frigging webcomic...
Anyway, the drawing. This one's another redo of one of my previous sketches that I posted here. This one's the main char for one of my comic ideas, but that's beside the point. Improvements, I manged to make her outfit more practical and conservative(Midriff, while sexy, is not suited to free running) Added a bunch of containers and junk that would come in useful for someone on the run(Make note of the butt plate, chafing on concrete generally feels bad on the rear end lol) Also I've been trying to get some muscle definition on the arms too. Not sure how well I did her shirt... I've never been that sure on how to depict folds and creases on clothes but I think I did a good job.
Planning on coloring this one but I got a bunch of other characters to go through(Trying to get a complete character guide for all my ideas down... Gonna be a dozy that's for sure...) Not to mention scenery, vehicles, assorted other things and I'm ranting again...
Main thing I'm trying to get to is a stable work ethic. I would have finished this sooner had I not fooled around on the internet constantly but that's my own problem... Anyway, gonna line and color soon. Look forward to it.
Also, just adding a(Really) quick sketch I did for musical74 here;

Cloth creases look fine to me, i personally never figured out how to do them myself so half the time mine look weird
Also, she give off a Lara Croft feeling to me now
Also, cute Siren you did there, hope to see these coloured soon

That was the idea! Angela here is a free runner so there has to be a practicality aspect to her outfit. Although, bike shorts just seemed a little more tasteful than the short shorts that Laura wears... Also, surprised you didn't notice the little tuft of chest fuzz on her. One of my friends did notice on her original design and hasn't let me hear the end of it since! lol
And I don't really have any plans to color the siren. That was just a quick sketch up of a character musical wanted me to draw...
Right now I'm practicing faces. I saw a tutorial on deviant art that's a fantastic guide to original characters. If you want I could post em here for all to see? The person who made them has a webcomic ongoing too(That's how I found the tutorials) It's called Miamaska. Look it up, it's just started but the art is gorgeous!

There's two other tutorial images aside from this one but they're all linked together so I really don't need to link them myself. Also, here's the guy's comic just in case you were wondering;

As I said, gorgeous artwork... Sigh.

nitpick time for Cassandra: hair is wrong! I don't picture her having hair like that...I picture her having about shoulder-to-middle of back hair...OTHER than that, it's a good picture!

Hello TMM! Have I got a treat for you!(Or anyone who cares enough to look at this stuff) I've spent the better part of the afternoon working on a little project, well it's more of an exercise if anything, but I've sketched up my usual fuzzier than normal catgirl Persia in a variety of outfits using a basic "Paper Doll" template that I also sketched up... I'm spoilering them because I don't want to take up the page(Plus nudity for all who apparently don't like that stuff, go figure...) But here they are!

I know these are just sketches but I have a new project I'm gonna start working on that I think everyone can enjoy.
Stay tuned everyone!!
Tengu out!

Oh believe me! I've entered that euphoria of productivity right now and am slaving away at this new idea of mine! And trust me when I say you all will like it! Hehehe!

This turned out really well man, the backless swim suit was an interesting invention in my opinion. My fav is probably the kimono. Also loving her big nude breasts!!

^^ Glad you're liking her Tsar. And remember those are big nude
furry breasts!
Alright well I think It's time I revealed my new pet project!!!
MONSTUCK!
MonstuckCover.png
I got this idea while reading through Problem Sleuth on MSPA... Basically I thought to myself "You know if Mr. Hussie here could make a feasible story based on outside suggestions, well so can I!!!" So I decided to utilize my persona here in a story(Based in the MGE universe) that would chronicle some misadventures with me and my own original(ish) characters. I'm hoping this accomplishes two things. 1. Through the fine art of extreme speed drawing I will become a better artist, and 2. this will make a fun activity for those here on the forum.
How this'll work is that I'll take whatever kind of order you give to the character(Me usually) And I'll make a panel out of it and add some text/commentary/dialog ala' the MSPA style. Now I'll interpret some of the vaguer orders(Or outright ignore stupid ones that involve something negative, like dying for instance) how I see fit, but what I'm aiming for is a comedic, improv, and possibly sexy comic that anyone can enjoy and take part in... No Cerebus Syndrome please, I'm finally getting over my gloomyness as it is I don't need depressing stuff to pull me back in again!
So to set an example I'll make the first couple of orders here!
[Render thyself in a style that DOESN'T violate possible copyrights]
(Side note, putting your command in brackets is preferred. As it will make things clearer for me! Thx in advance!)
Intro.png
You are ShadowTengu.
You are a HUMAN from EARTH. Through a sequence of HIGHLY IMPROBABLE AND UNFORTUNATE EVENTS you have arrived in this foreign land of HIGHLY AMOROUS AND VARIED SPECIES OF THE OPPOSITE SEX.
You have a number of INTERESTS, ranging from taking part in various AIRBORNE PRIVATEERING RAIDS to simpler things such as INTERNET OBSESSION and VIDEO BASED COMPETITION. You have an affinity for FANCY HEADGEAR and through a number of shenanigans you have acquired YOUR OWN HAREM OF FOLLOWERS you commonly refer to as YOUR CREW.
You have gained much experience on your travels, becoming a somewhat competent WIND ELEMENTALIST.
Your strife specibus has been allocated with the Fankind. And your strife portfolio contains the additional Shortswordkind that you commonly utilize as a backup.
[Start]
Question.png
There are a number of useful things in your room. In your immediate view is your ASUS brand gaming laptop that you managed to take with you from home. Among other things, a fan encrusted with a jade colored jewel rests on your desk... You are facing your door which has been emblazoned with a variety of locking devices in case things get too heavy outside. You are currently standing on your large fuzzy animal skin rug which was purchased from a shop somewhere. You hope this rug was not obtained illegally. You continue to stare at your door like a dog that wants to go outside...
(And I leave the rest to you guys! What happens next is up to the readers, though I will mention that if I get a lot of orders at once I'll choose my favorite. Nothing personal, just business! so order away and keep em in brackets... Oh and feel free to comment too! Tengu out!)

In a spoiler because it's a comment and not a command: My god sir, you have made my day. Only problem I have is in the second drawing your character looks like an old man.

(I know! It's the goddamn uncanny valley... Sigh too much detail on that one. But I am only really going to be taking 30 minutes to an hour on each of these so don't expect the frigging Mona Lisa... Also I literally laughed my ass off when you of all people were the first one to comment on my Persia paper doll. I already had this planned and knew you were a homestuck fan so the irony level went through the roof!
Also you don't have to spoiler comments just put em in parenthesis. I already stated that I want commands in brackets so don't worry about it either way!)
