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

What do you think of my art style?

What I like about your style in particular (and by the way, I'm sorry I missed this thread before) is that you do a really good job when it comes to letting two colors flow into each other (e.g. for the shadowing). I know from personal experience that this isn't always easy to perform with colored pencils but you are really making a good job of it. You also use this to create subtle but powerful effects (like the "speed-lines" in the Donkey kong and Expresso picture). Last but not least the parts that are to come in a given color are colored very thoroughly. Even if one colors a certain area completely with colored pencils the color usually doesn't come as intense as in your pictures. Do you color it multiple times? Excert some pressure on the colored pencil while doing this or do you have another trick?
