The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

That trip of mine gave me lots of time to think.
So, I'm working on another one now, hopefully it will be up here in the close future! :^.^:

Yes Aaron, you bet it's that one!  :yes

Things is now:

I've made half of it. The sketch of Ruby's done.
Now for the difficult part... Chomper.
I've never drawn this fellow before, and he sure isn't easy (if I look on my rough sketches. :rolleyes: )

There might be some trouble with the dimensions of them both, but I think I could edit that with Photoshop...

It's hard now, but I know that when the sketching is done, and the coloring begins, it will be wild!  :^.^:

Please, if anyone have any Chomper related tips, do share with me!  :)

I"m not sure if you have any episodes of the tv series or movies that Chomper is in, but  you could maybe use some lbt movies that have full grown t-rexes in them for some ideas of Chomper poses, though they are full grown and not young like he is.

Well, in many ways' the drawing's done now. But I don't know if I'm completly done with it in my opinion... the expressions on the faces and I might wanna add more details...
Should I post it anyway and then maybe you could give your opinions?
It would be some sorta training for me in a way!  :)

It's up to you.  Would you rather work on the details till you feel it's finished or would you rather post the done so far and then see what some opinions are and work on the details to get it finished before you post the second finished version.

I like the picture.  It is quite nice and don't feel bad about having no backgrounds.  Instead you could say you are working on the character portraits and drawings till you are happy with your skill level at drawing the characters in different angles, positions, ect.  Then once you are satisfied with your skill level, then you'll work on your background drawing skill.  That is more positive and some people may prefer to work on their drawing skill that way, focusing on one thing at a time instead of trying to improve all the different skills at the same time.

No background is certainly better than one with a wrong perspective such as those which can be found in some of my drawings :bang
Chomper's and Ruby's expressions look just lovely Gustav! Awesome job! No flattery meant.
I notice you put in a "starlight" in the eyes of your characters. How do you create that "starlight"? I would like to use it for stars in pictures.
I'm not 100% sure it is a good idea to use the starlight in the characters eyes in addition to the flashlight of the pupils.

Okay, it's done.  :^.^:
Firts time EVER that I'm drawing Chomper.   :blink:



Still no backgrounds, I'm dissapointed on myself for this.  -_-

I might have been adding to much/to dark shadows.  :rolleyes:
The artwork is beautiful and all, but... :blink:  :blink:  :blink: this looks like it should be in the AM section :p No offence...:p
