Wow the last pages and the above arts are quite awesome. I am kinda falling into low self-esteem mood after those haha.

Seeing those amazing images made me feel like I needed to do something, so I spent 15 minutes making this

Leave it as it is but sign it off with a famous artist's sig. The collectors will be having a field day.
^Honesty, it looks great. But consider patching up the bottom left foreground. Some of it looks too consistent. You can also change the colour of the astroid in the middle to a yellow ochre/brown mixture. The yellow ochre would add a little more repetition with the green/yellow background. Plus the mix of colours would add a better sense of depth to it.
As for the prominent blue streak you have there, I liked how the darker blue lightened its borders. Perhaps get that going around the whole streak? Also there are stains of slight blue on the background green. I don't know if its intentional or not but it annoys me. Consider patching that up.

Dat Lines....
^{What kind of nib/pen did you use???}

[kurandoinu]

I have one of these



It's a platinum fountain pen which takes their awesome carbon black ink cartridges. I have a brush pen that takes the same carts too and some Pentel touch pens for the mid level lines. The Japanese make great pens for inking.



Thats what I'm working on now

I spent the better part of 2 hours doing this. As you can see, I'm not finished and currently working on the eyes:

Really love your art style kurandoinu, it looks amazing!

Some really amazing art in this thread <3

And over to my .. not as amazing eye sketches. Only really draw for fun every once in a while, wish I could make some time to start learning properly though :p





In my defence they're drawn with a mouse, but at the same time I compansated that fact by just putting a lot of time into them >-< Something is really off with the last one though, but can't make out what it is.

You, sir, are an expert at handling a mouse. Those are really damn good eyes--tenfold for doing it with a mouse.

T-thank you <3 Don't make me blush  I have to admit I'm quite proud of them since I don't draw too much, but I believe it's possible to draw anything with a mouse, only thing that's different is that it usually takes a lot longer than with a tablet/pen.

its pretty simple though, just undo if you messed up the stroke.
plus you can hit it per-pixel, as if you'd mess up clicking a pixel at 1000% zoom.

Simple or not, it's still commendable. I certainly wouldn't want to draw at 1000% zoom

i used to do it with my sigs, most of my avatar are just crops though.

Trying to DRAW with a mouse isn't as easy as cleaning up existing artwork. It can be quite hard to get the curve of a line right.
