i linked to the image, instead of showing it directly in the post, as the actual image is enormous! you might find it easier to upload and show pictures if you re-sized them so most of it can be seen on the computer's window at once.

but it's a nicely drawn picture. ^^ have you more to show?

Loads, if I can just work this out...
I've put the picture on 'imagethrust.com' and it gave me a whole list of links... but none of them work! And don't get me started on personal photoes... grr

the problem with the images you tried to post was that you were copying image links with HTML on it, but then posted it with ezcodes enabled. i changed it to just ezcodes to make the link work for you.

*points above the replying window* see 'formatting' there? makes sure the HTML box is ticked if you're using it.

if you still can't figure it out, just post all the links in one post and i'll sort them out for you.

Okay, heres a picture of Sonic i did. There's a piccy of Metal Harbour for the background that I stole, hehe.
I sent this to Richard Elson and got a nice reply
(Those who don't recognise the name 'Richard Elson' go hang your heads in shame)

And thanks for the help

brilliant, you've figured it out. ^^ that image size is just right.

no problem.

edit: *tidies things up, as requested*

Ah yes, Shadow with now typical firearms... If anyone else has a nice Shadow picture please reply!

Woo Espio, complete with ninja doom-knives. Getting tired...

Nice use of Photoshop.

That's some nice art, but please don't double post.

Actually, I used Macromedia Fireworks, which works pretty good as a colouring program.

Also loving the art here (Shadow's pixie shoes! ^.^)

Only thing I'd advise is to work a bit on the curves, everything looks too straight and thin, like the pic has been stretched badly; but aside from that you're doing great.

Wow, thats being nice!
Sonics right arm is too short, Shadows right hand is like a large pillow, And espio has severly anorexic legs!
But other then that, thanks.
Please give me criticism.
Anyway, heres another...

*PICK UP*

Bloop bloop

Sploosh

That is pretty decent, though Gamma could look a little better. Not bad, I say.

Nice work you got there, Fiend. Keep it up. Though, I got some minor problems with it. >_> I dunno why, but something about all of your pictures irk me. I know it's not the way you use Flash to colour your pictures. I think it might be something to do with the proportions of the characters. Something seems odd. About all of them. I know the problems have all been identified, but I don't know what it is which bothers me.

But hey, don't let that put ya down =D You got some good talent there, which can be put to some excellent use with more practice and experience. Keep it up!

Very nice work Pie. I specially like the Espio piccy (the woodsy backdrop and ninja pose are both very fitting).
In the spirit of the topic, I'll post some of my stuff in all it's low-techishness.
Knuckles
Team Rose
Bunnie Sprite
(The last pic is still a bit in-progress and may get an update at some point)

Just...try not to laugh too hard.

It's Sonic as a human. I did everyone, save Team Chaotix (so far).

Here's Amy:

Sweet designs Karmine, and very well drawn too =D
Love the trousers!

So much talent! I really like people who can take criticism and even criticise their own work. It means that they don't think they are above everyone else. Can I just say that all the artwork I've seen on this topic is great!
I would like to submit chao pics (purely because I find them easier to draw)

Great work guys!

Humanized Sonic looks like he escaped from Final Fantasy :P.
I love your drawing style, man. But seriously, who wears THAT many belts?

Lol, I have a serious bad belt fetish. I don't know why but I just love belts in my art sometimes. Shadow is probably the worse though :

Though I admit...this is my favorite picture. ::cough::biasedShadowfangirl::hack::

That's my Rouge.

And my Knuckles.

And Tails. Though he looks a wee bit like a um...girl.

Tails could be either. I've never been too sure myself!

Wow the shadow and knuckles ones are my favorites so far. Keep it up.

nothing wrong with a few belts. ^^ i like your clothing ideas and the style of colouring that you use.
