::nods:: Not bad at all. The chest even looks relatively proportional. ^_^ Keep up the good work!

just finished up the colored version hopefully it looks ok
ive been using a slightly more simplistic coloring method on my last 2 drawings (which im told is actully cell shading, i had no idea ^_^) i used to use the burn / dodge tool alot then smudge to help blend the colors together but i figured id try a simpler maybe cleaner looking method
hopefully the extra compression i had to do on this to get it to fit under the attachment size limit isnt to noticable
comments and critiques welcomed as usual

man your sketch looks like it was so easy to do cause theres no smudging from rubbers or tons of lines on 1 section
it looks real good

Looking good. I like that ring on her tail. ^_^ Almost looks 3D (as far as this type of cg can get).
Yes, that be cel shading. ^_^ I personally use a mix of the airbrush, paintbrush, eraser, and dodge/burn/smudge/soften tools to get a vaguely painterly look, though I've done some pseudo-cel-shading before. Couldn't get it to quite look right to me.

does the coloring look ok on this one? i wasnt sure if going for the simpler look would come out right
im not sure if its noticable but on the darker stripes on her and her eyes i removed all the white pixels so it looked smoother not sure if it made a difference(doing all the stripes was a pain in the butt tho ^_^)

It does look better.
For a good reference on how to color without those white pixels in the way (if you have a program that does layers), check out www.polykarbon.com

hmm that tutorial on how to color in paintshop pro was really interesting( i had never thought of using the layers like that) im defininitly going to try that on my next picture ^_^
wish i could get better thickness variation on my lines tho, i basicly ink the drawing on the computer and the mouse doesnt really allow for changing line thickness mid line
i could try inking the orignal sketch but that pretty much destroys it if i goof up (and i dont really have much knowledge of or access to good inking pens )

Nice work as always, not much I can tell you about the CG because you keep improving through practice^^.
My only possible suggestion for improvement lies with the background. The backgrounds you choose never look bad, but with the kind of character art that you do, I'm wondering if a simple drop shadow over a non-textured background wouldn't complement your pics more. Nothing you need to change, but it might be a fun technique to play around with.
Keep it up ^^.

Here's an inking tip I picked up somewhere. Change your lineart to a color (like light blue, or pink, or yellow) and print it out, then ink that. That way, you keep the original sketch, and have a hand-inked copy. Just scan the inked copy and edit out the colors, leaving you with the lineart.
