Then today I practiced a bit of what technically would be called "illustration" or something. Simply put, it's a scene from a story I'm writing with a friend. But I liked it and had some fun with it. Even though it's SAD.
That's it for now. I also posted some comic pages a couple of posts back in case people missed that. Till next time!

I'll say it again - I really like that first character on the left, Sarah! Very good work. (I also like the subtle way you placed the copyright and your name across the images. Heh heh...)
I really love the style you're going for with Hel and Idunn. However, I would suggest smoothing out your lines (ie: making the hair more angular; making the curves of the dress smoother and less "shakey"...make the line work more purposeful and confident if any of that makes sense). I think that would really strengthen the style.
Also, I LOVELOVELOVE the backgrounds for your comic and while you might consider the picture of Hel and Idunn to be just character designs, I think tossing in a background similiar to your comic (hell, or simply reusing one) would add so much to the piece.
And did I mention you draw awesome faces?
I think these have been the strongest pieces I have seen from you since the Silk Road Chinese ink portrait I saw. Just great pieces, I think we went over these a few days ago, and I agree completely with Chris... If you can clean up these lines, it will improve the drawing that much more, removing the jitters from a straight line will make it so crisp, and really add to the piece. I can't say enough about these, but just as a refresher:
-liked the skull face (especially the teeth)
-liked the contrast in the shapes and angles used on both characters.
-liked the color palette of both
-disliked how the webs match with the colors of the skeleton character. If you can't see the webs without a grey background then change something so you can. (i.e. darker webs, outlines, thicker webs). You are the artist, the image's readability is on your shoulders.
-the skeleton's feet kind of bother me. they are very small.
Great stuff though! Looks very nice!
