I hope that everyone likes the new format for the Forum. If you have any probs just send me a pm. Here's my pic for the day. It's a toy design for Indie Gods Publishing. His name is Lil'Pogo, and he'l be hosting their Horror comic stories. Cheers!

Danimation that is sooooooo coool i luv clowns. Especially crazy clowns and this little guy is totaly something i would buy and just have around. He even seems to like cats as much as i do. Let me know when this little guy might come out if he looks as cool as ur drawing i'm buying. :P

[Danimation]

Clowns are scary I find! I'll defininetly post more drawings and the final toy when it's done. Here's a pic of good Ol' Jeff Spicoli! DUDE, Let's Party! Cheers

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/DapperDan/Jeff_web.jpg

[Doubt]

The clown is really cool, will the toy be coming with any weapons??

[jchap 03]

Wonderful stuff! Always a joy to view your work.

[Danimation]

Thanks for the comps guys! Doubt, the toy will come with a skinned cat, and I believe his trademark Pogo stick. I'll post the final sculpt when I get a picture. I've been a bit behind in posting pics so here's a few sketches. Cheers!

[Doubt]

Sounds cool, like the fish monger the best out of these new ones.

[Scoob nGA]

Ha ha! the fish cook is awesome! it seems he starting to look like a fish himself...and of course metriod ready for battle.

[damage]

Sweet stuff Danimation i luv the girl with the big thighs. :P aaahhhhhhh thiiiiggggghhhsssssssss...:P

OOOhh btw how is the little xmas present that santa brought u??

[Danimation]

Thanks D! Ah yes, thighs! My daughter is doing great! She is so beautiful and cuddly! I try and spend lots of time with her, hence the not so many sketches. Here's one I did after watching The Return of the King Extended Edition. Thsi guy freaked me out, looked like something out of Hellraiser. I present a rough sketch of the Mouth of Sauron. Cheers

[jchap 03]

OMG!
*Jared runs out of the room crying and screaming*

... great sketch. That guy was freaky!

[damage]

Cool a little babie girl. I'm glad to hear she's doing great, what's her name? Little girls grow on thier daddies real fast. Little boys cry like heck or at least that's my experiance, but u luv them either way.

Cool mouth of sauron, i really have to go rent that film. I bought the ones that came out earlier this year and now i'm a little peeved at having to rent it. Or even have to buy it if i like it. What am i going to do with the old ones. Dangit.:(

[Danimation]

Thanks for the comps guys! Yeah, Paige is a darling. Right now she is going over the fussy period of 6-8 weeks. Hopefully after this she'll become more relaxed. No matter how much she fusses and cries, I'll always love her though! Here's a pic I did that was inspired by Chap03's Robot Forest pic. Cheers!

Here's another for today. Cheers

Sketch of the Day = Fishy x 2

[Rolf_DeWolf]

Hi Dan!

I absolutely love your work! It's like your drawings are just begging to be animated. I can see them moving in my head (and no, I don't do drugs). I can see some resemblance to some Disney styles, but still very personal and just plain fun to look at!

[tuchten]

nice going. :)

[jchap 03]

Dan! You work is always great but I especially LOVE the bot! Great stuff. Very fun! What did you do it in?

[Scoob nGA]

good stuff as always dan!

[Danimation]

Thanks for the comps guys! Chap, I did the entire thing in Flash (plus a tiny blur in PS) in about a half hour. I have some more vectors coming up! Cheers

[Danimation]

Here's another Flash pic I whipped up. It's Horned Owl Vs. his arch nemesis Ratpack in his Giant Babybel of Doom. I've attached the sketch so you can see the process. Cheers

[Ramimator]

Amazing...style...u also colored it in Flash right??..G.L. :)

[Danimation]

Thanks Ram! Yup, I just used the rough as ref. then created the image directly in Flash. Cheers

[Danimation]

Another Flash piece! Cheers

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/DapperDan/Ragnarok_final_web.jpg

[Jurjen]

very nice! would really like to know more about how you get that out of flash? and how long does that take?
many questions...maybe you can give away a bit of your secret.

jurjen

[Danimation]

Thanks Jurjen! Glad you like these. For these I only sketched out the characters before hand, then colored them in Flash. The BGs just kinda flowed out from there, I just make them as I go depending on where I want the eye to travel. The Horned Owl took about an hour and 15 mins while the Ragnarok piece took about 2 hours. Cheers!

[Danimation]

Hey guys, I just finished a short Flash animation. I have to post a link to the Newgrounds page where you can view it, it's too big to put on here. Feedback is welcome! Cheers

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/217779

[damage]

That was cool dan. I now don't want to finish my bowl of cereal.

[Danimation]

Thanks D! Sorry I spoiled your Breakfast!

[jchap 03]

Really cool stuff Dan. I like it!

[damage]

Hey Danimation how long did that take u and did u do it all by urself?? If u don't mind me asking.

[Danimation]

I did the entire animation by myself, and it took about 20 hrs or so. I'm not really too sure on the time though as it was an hour here and an hour there over the course of a month. I have 2 series of Cereal Killer cards already done. I'll post them sometime soon! Thanks for the comps and q's D!

[Danimation]

Here's a BG for another animation I'm doing. It still needs some touches in PS though before it's complete. I'll post more bgs as I go. I've also added the rough, so you can see the process. Cheers

Hahahhahahahaha that's sweet. Man i luved that game, couldn't pass it tho. My mom kept telling me to come and eat. Dangit.

[Danimation]

Thanks for the comps D! It was a great game indeed! Here is the revs to that BG I posted earlier plus a new one. Cheers

Another BG!

[Saider E.]

Love your backgrounds. They're so vibrant and visual interesting. I like the one of Hawkman. I've got learn to do that.

[Danimation]

Thanks for the comps Saider E! I'm not going to use Photobucket to post on here anymore. It keeps deleting my files! Grrrrrrr! Here's a pic for a buddy of mine. It's his City Of Heros character. Never played the game, but it sounds cool. Cheers

[Saider E.]

My friends play that game A LOT! I had a character he was black and purple. the best part is designing your own superhero. But anyway great drawing (as always)

[Danimation]

Thanks for the comps Saider! Here's one for today, The Green Machine! Cheers

[mackenziepiper]

wow, love your work :) brilliant stuff!

[Danimation]

Thanks very much for the comps Mackenziepiper! Here's the colored version of the super gal I submitted earlier this month. Cheers

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/DapperDan/Buffy_Flash_websm.jpg

[Bookeater]

It seems you've managed to keep an "inked" comicbook style with no black lines. I havn't seen that before.

[Gamer]

I love it, and when i see other peoples drawings it inspires me.
I cant wait to see more

[Danimation]

Thanks for the comps Bookeater and Gamer! I really appreciate them! Here's a quick rough for today. I think I'll scale the dog down a bit more though. The Juggernaut should be quite big! Cheers

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/DapperDan/Jugg_web.jpg

[Danimation]

Here's one from today's lunch. Cheers

[brien]

i love your sketches. the juggernaut one is great! i think it will definatly be funnier if the dog is smaller. i also really like the supergirl one. how long did it take you to color it?

[ScatteredLogical]

Can you imagine Juggernaut in something like a Geo Metro? It would be Robert Parr all over again.

[Danimation]

Thanks Brien! The Supergal took about an hour and a half to color in Flash. Scattered- that idea reminds me of the Incredible scene, when the Dad is in his car. Juggs is much bigger, so it would be even more of a contrast! Cool idea, cheers.

[Danimation]

Here's a quick sketch I did for a B-Day gift.

[Scoob nGA]

Your work continues to amaze me, nice work Dan. the bruce banner piece is good, and so is the juggernaut one, what a task for such a humungous charac. hee hee! the b day gift is good too, i bet your friend was hoping for something similar in real life, hee hee, latez

[Danimation]

Thanks for the comps Scoob! I really appreicate them! Here's one from today's Lunch! Cheers

[Danimation]

Thanks man! LOL Cheers:D

[sheaboyshea]

ya man all ur drawings are class.how long have you been in animation?

[Danimation]

Thanks for the comps sheaboyshea! I've been doing animation for about 4 and a half years now. I mainly do Flash work now, so I alwasy try to keep my drawin's up to snuff. Here are a few more for today! Cheers

[Danimation]

One for today, Flash MX style

[Tallart]

Very good but is that an explosive on the worm????

[Shany]

great stuff dan,
but i am having some sort of a problem,
you seems to be fixed in 1 style of drawing (too cartoonish alike with loose poses..etc).
can you give us the taste of other styles as well ? or mabye this is the only style you can draw?

keep up the great work!

[Danimation]

Hey Guys! You can follow this link to see more of my work. It has some stuff you've seen on here, and some stuff that you proabably have not

http://traditionaldanimatio.deviantart.com/

Talart the thing around Mister Mind is a megaphone old school style! Cheers

Seriously? I don't agree.

[Shany]

Bookeater,

well, start by watching the gallery posted from Dan in the above thread,
you can clearly see that no matter the topic (monsters, comics, sci-fi..etc), the style remains the same (too cartoonish), its not a bad thing, ofcourse not, i love dan's works!, but.. i just wanted to ask if there is more than meets the eye, an art which is not cartoon characterized.

regarsd,
Shany

[Danimation]

Here's another pic I did in Flash. Cheers

[ScatteredLogical]

You have a nice variety of eye types/shapes in your designs. How do you decide which kind to implement during your creative process?

[Danimation]

Thanks Vin! Well I usually think about the characters personality, what they are doing, then I just go. Sometimes it works sometimes not. I'm glad that you like the pics! Here's another for today! Cheers

[Cale the Canadian]

Great Gallery! I love how diverse one sketch is to the next. Are you working on any particular animation projects right now?
Cant wait to see what you post next!

[Danimation]

Thanks for the comps Cale! Glad you like my work! At the moment, I work at a studio in town, and I'm working on designs for a pitch to some bigger studios. I can't go into too much detail due to the contracts and such. Thanks again! Here's some quick ones I did last night of some Bats villains. I like some of the designs for the new show, but not all of them. The new Riddler looks too much like Marilyn Manson:(

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/DapperDan/RoguesGallery_web.jpg

[joelpeet]

:D I really do like your style Dan. Really great.

[Danimation]

Thanks Joel! I appreciate the comps! Here's another on for today,"Super-Beard and Parrot Lad, Keepers of the Seven Seas and Gazillion Estuaries."

[JeffRM]

It has been a while since I have checked awn and your gallery, awesome stuff!!!!! Luv the calamity jane and the recent one with hand in foreground. You can tell your drawings are really good because of your hands, I am still having problems with posing hands. Good job.

[Danimation]

Thanks Jeff! Good to see you around! When I was struggling with hands I studied Milt Khal's work. His drawings of hands are simply awesome. Here's some more stuff! Cheers

[ScatteredLogical]

HARLEY! As long as you have the CN connection, I'd love to see you "accidentally" work on more WB stuff. I wonder how the new 'Bats cartoon is faring.

[Jabberwocky]

I love Man-Bat, Clayface and especially Catwoman. Killer Croc's body is great but I'd have made his face more reptile. Harley - well, no offense but she looks a lot like the WB model. I'd say there's more potential.

[grauso]

Man I just have to say that I find your artwork and characters really inspiring. Your style is alot like what I have been trying to acheive with my own characters. I've been trapped at home for the past couple of months because I broke my back at work (be careful when you go to the home depot is all i have to say) and I really look forward to seeing your posts for inspiration:D. Keep up the great work.

[Satya]

Those are really amazing pieces of work. really great. :D
i need some information from you. might be a little childish question, but what kind of pen do use for your drawings? seriously. whatever i have used i simply dont seem to be able to get the sharpness as yours. thats why all the sketches i have posted i have done them using pencils alone.
anyway once more...really amazing pieces of art.

[tehfuzzbomb]

yeah, everything is ultra fantastic.
you're in canada?
are you currently working for a studio?
are you in or out of college?

[musimation]

Dude your stuff rocks! awesomeness!

[Danimation]

Wow! Thanks for all the kind words everyone! I really appreciate the C&C!

-Jabs, I know what you mean about the Harley. It's hard to deviate from the WB version, that one is so good.

-Grauso, thanks a lot! I hope you feel better soon!

-Satya, thank you too! I used a 2B pencil for these sketches. When I ink stuff (which I hate to do :( ) I use Micron .005 .01 .02 .08 pens. Hope that helps. Note me if you need anything else

-Fuzzbomb, thank ya! I'm indeed in Canada! Right now I work for Inlight Entertainment and do freelance work on the side.

-Musimation, thank you as well!

Here's more of a finished pic colored in Flash. Cheers

[tehfuzzbomb]

lol, amazing.
i wonder how many people will get those references

[brien]

hahaha. oh man, have you seen that movie lately? i remember watching it when i was younger, and thinking it was cool to have a movie about nintendo games. but i just happen to watch it recently on good ol' VHS, and it's terrible! haha. its like one big nintendo commercial. anyways, awesome stuff as usual dan!


"i love the power glove, it's so bad!"

[tehfuzzbomb]

yeah! my friend had it on vhs in college and we watched it at least once every year.

[Danimation]

Whoa, I haven't posted in ages! Well here we go!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/DapperDan/GAH_Postercopy.jpg

[Bookeater]

speaking of nintendo commercials, i have this clip of one for zelda, (from the late 80's?) involving rapping, beatboxing, and oo-ing and aw-ing over the graphics, ever see it? (sry if off topic...)

[Danimation]

Yeah isn't it the one with the two kids playing Zelda, then it cuts back and forth between the game and the kids whilst the rap plays. I think you can watch it here, warning though, it's terrible.

http://66.98.238.14/~retro/media/08uuhx/zelda_first_commercial.mpeg

[rupertpiston]

Nice looking stuff. I've been using a set of Stadtler pens for inking also, but have some other stuff where I've been using a steel nib. You, however, run lightning circles around me.

I'm looking at the Wizard pic (California). What Flash tools are you mostly using there? I'm curious because I note there is no hard outline, just high quality fill. Are you mainly using the paintbrush tool with your sketch on another layer?

Thanks!

[brien]

yeesh, that zelda commercial is terrible. but your sketch is great! your drawings always seem to kick a significant amount of ass.

[Danimation]

Thanks for the comps guys! Here's some more stuff! Rupert follow this link (http://www.deviantart.com/view/16960730/) to a tutorial I did concerning your question. Salute!

[damage]

Hey Dan great work. I really dig ur style. It's funny in my new gig i have to try and make characters more angular in the way that u make them. Could u give any advice to a fellow animator as to how u think when u do ur drawing or how u come the the decisions as to which lines to make sharp and which to curve. I would really appreciate it.

Also i really dig ur Tutorial I will try it as soon as i get a chance.

[Jabberwocky]

The pencilled guys at the bottom, those are Superman villains, aren't they? That imp on the left has to be Mr Mxyzptlk.

[Danimation]

Thanks for the comps guys! Yup those are Superman baddies Jabs, and that is indeed Mr.M! Damage glad you like the style, I hope all is well with the baby too! When I was starting to draw in this style I referenced lots of Mary Blair, Iron Giant and the Incredibles. I would just seek ref out for those and practice those styles. If you can, try and track down the online tutorial with Chen Yi Chang, that really influenced me too. If you can't find it pm me k. Thanks again!

Salute

[KalEl118]

Funny you should mention him. A month or two ago, I found an online lecture by him through the Drawn! blog. Its long but extremely interesting from an industry professional. Its free and you can see it here.

http://video.csupomona.edu/streaming/asc/chen_yi_chang.htm

Not sure if that is the tutorial you were talking about.

KalEl118

P.S.--Oh, and being a huge Superman fan (hence the name Kal El), I really enjoyed the Superman drawings.

[mandeep]

loved your work its simply fantastic..................fanta-bulous

i dream of doing stuff of this quality one day.......

[Bandita]

Wow Danimation, can't find words to say how much i love your sketches. It seems to me, that you've something in you mind, you just grab your pencil, and the exact picture in your head is on the paper whithin 2 seconds!!!

If I could draw one day like you, I would be the happiest girl all over the world!!!!

[Danimation]

Thanks for all the comps guys! I've been super busy so I haven't been around much to comment. Sorry :( However I do have a sketch for today! Cheers

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/DapperDan/Lobo_Fragged.jpg

[Jabberwocky]

Sabertooth, yes?
I had the honour of working with some of your character designs for the last couple of weeks. You know, Fly Guy and his lot. (Got to tweak 'em some, but not much.) Really a breeze working with them, too, very drawable!

[KalEl118]

Love the picture.

My guess is that its Lobo.

KalEl118

[Jabberwocky]

I concur. Lobo sounds more likely.

[SpaceGhost2K]

It's Lion-o. You just can't see the logo.

[Danimation]

It is Lobo, but the hair is so Lion-O! Spot on Ed! LOL Here's one for all you Hallowe'en freaks like me! Cheers

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/DapperDan/Creature_ST.jpg

[Doubt]

Rad, who's the king of the daily sketch??

[Ontaious]

I think others would agree when I say, got any construction drawings to show us? I'd love to see how you go about building your characters. The gestures are great (something I'm working on strengthening) and their expressions are wonderful.

Keep up the good work.

[damage]

Hey Dan awsome work as always. Haven't been around the boards as much lately, work has got me busy as hell and that is a good thing. I luv the tutorial u posted awhile back and was woundering if u have any more. Also i didn't have much luck finding the guy u had mention to me but i think someone here posted a link and i checked it out. Was that what u had mentioned?? Sorry to bring this up so lates as it has been a couple of months.

I hope to get my own webspace soon so i can again beging posting images. That Creature from the black lagoon of urs has inspired me to try and do a warewolf type one or Drack himself. Great work and keep it up.

[DeadSquid]

I enjoy your works.

I just saw the fishmonger, that's great!

[edit]

just saw the swamp creature!!! I LOVE IT IT, LOOOOOOOOOVE IT!

[Danimation]

Thanks for the comps guys! Yeah Damage, that was the video I spoke of. That guy is a genius when it comes to design! Here's a little diddy for Hallowe'en! Happy Haunts everyone!

very cool pumpkin design. i really like his hands. they look real solid and strong, perfect for swinging around that reaper knife at unexpecting victims. great stuff as always, dan.

[gillianseed84]

Awesome monster man!

Howdy Dude,

Remember me? I thought I'd get back to the drawing table and have some fun. As always Your stuff is fantastic. oh so cool pumkin head. This gallery thing is so cool.

You've got real skills man, and all of your sketches do look amazing and flawless. I just want to see more of it and drool! Great work, really. It's all VERY good =)

Beautiful work Dan. This gallery section is a cool place to get inspired. Love your character design as well.

[powerglove]

wow, really amazing work, love the sultry cheerleader :)...you even drew a bus truck unit thingy excellent! damn you haha...i hope to be even close to as good as you one day...keep them coming

[Dream state 7959]

Hey, sweet stuff Danimation, I'm loving all of it, It's nice to have you posting your stuff again.

Keep up the artwork,
DS :cool:

[Danimation]

Hey everyone! Thanks for the comps and crits all around! Here's a X-Mas pic I did that I'd like to share with you all! Happy Holidays! :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/DapperDan/GrinchST.jpg

Damage - That's my dream everynight! Gotta hit the hay now :)

[Jabberwocky]

DAMMIT! You beat me to a Grinch pic! That's a very nice design! ("But I shall have my revenge", he grinchily hummed.)

[bupaje]

Looks great. :) The largest chimney on the right threw me for a second. For some reason the cimney with the house and shadow right above it played a trick with my eyes and at first I though it was a character - like one of the Who's- and I didn't group the shape right for a minute. Once I correctly 'saw' the house then everything now appears normal. Weird.

[Dream state 7959]

That's a new twist on the grinch idea and I do enjoy people that put new twist on old ideas, looking good!!

Later,
DS :cool:

[Danimation]

Thanks a lot guys! Don't worry Jabs, there's room for tons more Grinches! Here's my take on the Christmas Carol, as done by SCTV. John Candy and Bob and Doug Mackenzie visit Ebenezer on a chillin Christmas Eve. Cheers

[SpaceGhost2K]

You're amazing. Have I told you that?

[powerglove]

awesome stuff dan! :D

[e17jo1]

Hey Dan! Excellent drawings of course! I was wondering how you do your flash drawings. Do you pencil it out first, then scan and photoshop for color or do you draw using the tools of flash (wacom tablet?). Just curious of an awesome artist's method! Keep up the good work.

[Danimation]

Thanks for the kudos guys! e17jo1, I do the rough drawing first then trace the image in Flash with the line tool. Using the wacom works well too, but can create an excess of nodes which are particularly not good for animation. Thanks again for the kind words! Here's a sketch for today!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/DapperDan/GG_web.jpg

[Jabberwocky]

Oooh, oooh, pick me! Pick me! Ghosts 'n' Goblins! It's Ghosts 'n' Goblins, right? In case it's Ghosts 'n' Goblins, you owe me a shot of Arthur in his underwear!!!

[Hunter D]

Kinda reminds me of Don Quichotè...

Great drawing...

[Jerner]

great sketch ! :D

you really got loads of action in it, and the characters looks really cool :D

[Dream state 7959]

Yeah, I'm thinking Don Quichotè also, but either way it's a great looking piece, keep the good stuff coming D.

Later,
DS :cool:

[Jabberwocky]

I stand by my answer! A knife-throwing knight at a zombie-infested graveyard - it's got to be Ghosts 'n' Goblins / Ghouls 'n' Ghosts! In fact, I liked the idea so much I copied it ... :rolleyes:

Your use of Flash to color is really impressive. I still have the link to your Deviant Art tutorial. When I get a chance I'm going to really digest it. Great stuff.

[Hunter D]

This is looking so awesome... :D

It's like the Alliance WOW (world of warcraft) bar...

Morning Dan,

Glad to see your art as always, Man for as much as you draw and as good as you are I bet your Mom is still cleaning the crayon off her walls? (just kidding)
Hey I do have a real question? Are you involved with a comic book series? Just curious.

Cartuneman:D

[Danimation]

LOL, yup the crayons were a hit! :) Thanks man! At the moment I'm just doing commission and animation, no comics. I'm not really into sequentials, so I doubt I'd ever do any. Also, a quick heads up, I'm selling some original art over on Ebay. I hate to advertise, but thought I'd drop a note anywho. Here's the link to the art: Danimation Original Art On Ebay (http://search.ebay.ca/_W0QQsassZsketch_tavernQQhtZ-1)

Cheers!

[SpaceGhost2K]

If I had a million dollars and Jab let me keep some of it, I'd give some to you. :)

[cartuneman]

Howdy,

I tried to send you a private message but your mail box is full sir. (understandably)

cartuneman:D

[Hunter D]

The Mario one rocks!! :eek:

That Sharkguy from the villians looks really awesome... :D

[Danimation]

Thanks guys! :) Here's some more. You've probably seen them elsewhere, but just in case! Cheers

There's a LiveJournal community called LifeMeter Comics. They're mad about original renditions of all kinds of video game characters. You could sustain their site for an entire year.
I've never really had anything to do with Nintedno since my brother sold his SNES, but day-um, all that talk about how revolutionary the Wii controller is sure got me interested.

[Graphiteman]

Dan,
Your growth as an artist in a couple years is astronomical and awe-inspiring.
You deserve every success your way.

[brien]

oh, jeez.. those mario characters are the best! amazing! i want to see flash cartoon with those designs. i love the contrast within all the shapes.. the small eyes and big heads, the big pants and skinny legs and feet, all surrounded with that flat graphic feeling... great stuff!

[Danimation]

Thanks a lot guys! I really appreicate the kind words! :) Here's a pic of Conan I did. Cheers http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v392/DapperDan/CROM.jpg

[Jabberwocky]

I just had a look at my LiveJournal's friends page - so you knew about LifeMeter Comics!
BTW, help me out with the illustration above the Pipe Dream one, won't you? It's not Freelancer, is it?

[damage]

Wow Dan awsome sketches as usual. Haven't been around in a while but always luv checking in on your thread.

Luv the Conan he is one of my recent favorits with dark horse realeasing his new series and the art bing killer and all.

[Danimation]

Thanks guys! Jabs, that was the cover for a book called Wayward Wolf. Unfortunately the comic was put on hold. Hopefully we'll see it printed sooner or later. Damage! Thanks a ton man! Yeah Conan is one of the best art books hands down! CROM!

[Phreak]

Geeez! What's the chances! I just posted my version of Conan today!
(And no no, I didn't see yours before today!)
Kick arse though.
I especially like the effects you get with the water and the subtle grays in and around the clouds!? did you digitally edit it at all?? Looks too perfect to be color markers/pantones! Unfortunately mine's plain pencil. But check it out!
Keep up the awesome work!


Who am I kidding. Of course you will!

[vicjperry]

G-g-getting w-w-w-weak. M-must see Danim-m-mation's latest............................................ ...............:rolleyes:
