Thanks all! :D I can't wait to get this thing shaded! I'm also considering trying to photoshop my first picture, but I'm not sure that I can do that without it looking obvious that I did most of it on paper and then one part in photoshop.

There are ways to make it look more photoshop-y, like doing a small gausian blur and boosting the contrast, which will remove some of the sketchiness and blacken up the lines. As I "paint" in Photoshop I go from sketchy lines but I eventually just smudge them away as I work.

It is kind of refreshing to see work done with prismacolor marker and colored pencil though, and doing anything in Photoshop without a tablet is a ton of work.

I checked out your CA thread. Nice work! I am not sure if you aspire to be a professional artist, but I should tell you that it is a ton of work. I work every day on stuff I haven't done before and try to improve even now. It doesn't ever get easier, but it does start to pay better :)

Thanks! I'll give it a try.
Currently, I teach art to elementary kids. :) It's a good job, pays fairly decent (not an easy thing to find) and I think I'm a better teacher than I am an artist. That said I spend a ridiculous amount of time thinking about video games, and would love to do concept art professionally or perhaps writing (as in quests or stories not programing) but I'm not sure how good I would be at that and I have a family to support so I'm not into big risks. What I would try going after is contract work in addition to my regular job even if it was low pay. For now I'm just trying to get my drawing skills up to a professional level and that just means a lot of practice.

That wolf looks unusually happy for just getting show in the arm with an arrow.

But yeah... poor ex-rabbit... That wolf is screwed if that rabbit at the left is actually any good.

I think the color helps.

Even if the rabbit on the left sux, there's still the rabbit army on the hill! :wink: The wolf is totally screwed.

I really like the rabbit running in the background.

edit: Just took a look at your sketchbook Resin, there's some very cool stuff there! The women transforming into an owl blew my mind.
