Start by creating a flats channel. It's boring and a little time consuming, but it will speed up the rest of the coloring process and give you those nice smooth edges you wanted.
Honestly though, I like the look of your stuff right there.
You are also a very talented illustrater. I don't know how long it takes you or what your storytelling ability is like, but I think your stuff is fantastic. |

DOn't give up hope or loose faith in your skill, 'cause you definately have them! I really dig your art, and you will more than likely get some really good contacts and quite possibly a job from the look of things. Perchance that you don't, please don't give up. Not to say you would, your post kinda reflected a little lack of confidence. I can't wait to see more of your work.
Peace _________________

Peace | i didnt mean i would give up, but i rarely have time to draw as it is. and when i am working a full time job and going to school, i dont have time for anything. as for confidence, i have never been to san diego comicon and never tried to get a comic job before so i am pretty nervous. |

Hey Chris S! I recognize your stuff! The self port is great! Looking forward to seeing you in Portland this year.
Good to see so much great art from everyone here.
And Wastral.
Your work is really good. Especially if you did this stuff at 20-22 yrs old. If you want to have a carreer in comics or the artfield, you have all the natural ability you need. I'm sure you will find job oppertunities at the SD con.
Best,
David Mack |

No, you should draw more. You should always work to get better. If your name was Mack, I'd say the same thing. |
