Eh, yeah, anyway, I coloured another drawing of mine. I'm getting better and better at this, I think.

Origional drawing:

And below the coloured version. I made the background with Terragen. The rest in Paint Shop Pro. I must confessed I used a filter on the monster's skin (tiles filter), but heavily modified it afterwards. Looks a lot better with it. Less like plastic.

It's supposed to be some kind of fallen king, who now wanders through the wasted lands.

May I have it, mommy? It followed me home!

It's got some pretty wicked toes. And spines. And talons. And teeth. And eyes.

Oh, and nice work, but I still prefer the black and white one.

Yeah, I think that's a bit of a taste thing. I've heard from more that they liked the b&w version better, but from others I hear the oposite.
I like them both, they both have their pro's and con's.

Doesnt look too much like a dark rider since he has colourfull robes and stuff.

This is just my opinion, but uh.. no offense or anything but you really should work on the actual drawing before you enhance it with a graphics program or whatever... the coloring and effects are great.. but ... the drawing isn't as good as it could be.

At least this way you have the original and the colored one

Both look good. And I seem to like the coloured one more..

Beat me too it, I dont know how many times Ive said this but ill say it again, DONT BE AFRAID TO USE BLACK!! lets say this (refering to the original drawing) if you took the gradation from pure black to pure white and made it about 10 levels (1 = white 10 = black) your drawing is about a 1-5. Get more of those darker values into it and watch the magic happen. If you dont understand my preaching just ask and ill post examples of my work before and after I learned this golden rule.

Hmm I understand what you mean, but you have to concider that when you scan an image it becomes a lot brighter because carbon reflects light a bit. (it's shiny). The origional paperdrawing is much darker.

The dark rider text in the b&w drawing are in fact nearly black.

I wouldn't mind having that creature for a loyal pet... That's a fairly good drawing. I think the B&W one is better, because the shading is better...

Its pretty good, except for the beast. Its limbs especially are too muscular, and i doubt that if it would even be able to move them if it existed. Also the joints' rotation look a bit iffy. Before you get all "Its only a drawing that i made up and not a real creature", remember that it will look better if it is a muscle tone and skelatal structure that would be feasible.
