*squee* I... WANT... THAT... BOOK... OMG!!! *smacks with newspaper* No spoilers! I haven't read that one yet! Don't make up words just so your poem can rhyme! :shame:

Sure, if you want it. By the way, is the credit in my sig good for you? Yeps. : I'm afraid so. Though post it anyway... if I thiink it's good I might just tack you on somewhere.

Sure, if you want it.

Hmm... werewolf, maybe? That's my guess... Though this kinda reminds me of Cloverfield. :wall: In all honesty, I was going to just come in here, glance at it, and leave, but you made me take the time t read it. Think of that what you will.

Sure, whatever. Georgelemmons, I bringeth your new siggy- I got yah, didn't I? :lol: Your real new siggy-

Oh dear.. *braces self for e-Drama storm* Is that the same cape in Pirate's Avy, except with trim? Jrslapshot... I suggest you make a few more sigs before starting up a shop. Just so you get the hang of the ins and outs of the gallery. I am 75% sure you didn't mean to rip it, that this was an honest mistake. However... if not... *snarl*

....umm, that isn't a Pixel. :wall:

You gots perspective issues, anatomy issues, shading issues ect. ect. References are you friends! Use them! Just a quick Google search often yields you what you want. Though this is all useless if you don't know how to see. Judging by your style, it appears that you don't really know how to look at an object correctly. Pick an object. Study it for several minutes, noting things like the angles of it's lines, the length of each part as it relates to other parts of the object, the number of lines it has. Don't just look at the object's shape-look at the empty space around it as well, and note the qualities of this. Then, draw what you see, but don't think about what you're drawing-think instead about the lines that make it up, and their relationship to each other. Drawing stuff upside-down helps as well.

Some of them just look a bit.. busy to be honest. Use less kinds of brushes, and less... contrasting colors(Blue/orange. Red/green. Yellow/ Purple.) The best color schemes utilize colors from the same family(cool vs. warm) with accents from the other family.

YAY! Yaffles ain't gone forever anymore! :thumbsup: I think it looks pretty cool. Did you use a stencil for those snowmobilers? The one on the right should probably be facing the other way... it would make it flow better methinks

I'm sorry, I forgot to add you! :shock: I will definitely make you siggy, sorry for the confusion...

No more thread necroing plox! :evil:

Okay people, this is the list of the ones I will be doing. If I have time, I might do the others too, but the ones listed will definitely get done. If you're not on the list, I'm sorry but I just don't like your request very much... You can always come up with a new idea and post it again. Note:I am bored with Runescape requests at the moment. It would be better if you'd request something else, but I could be convinced otherwise...

Sorry for not posting anything. I was away for the holidays for a couple of days. Updates will come tomorrow when I get my Desktop back.

Yeps. I was going to bump the thread, but you guys did it for me. Thankies. :

The colors scare me. :ohnoes:

Of course. It would be nice if you gave credit, but I don't care either way.

I could draw up some st00fs, if you like. I don't have Illustrator though... sorry.

In all honesty, it gets a bit silly in places. Especially the fight scenes. It's like, oh dear, more enemies for Nathan to slay-with a broken arm too! :wall:

May I make a suggestion? Well, believably in literature amounts to this. You have to be fair. Not logical, but fair. For example, Peter Parker being bit by a radioactive spider and mutating into Spiderman. Now, in the real world, the odds of this happening are less than one half of one percent. But, it could happen, at least in the minds of everyone who is not a nuclear physicist or a biologist. Another example for you. Let's say you have a another superhero, yes? He is trapped in a plane that's about to crash, and is hand-cuffed to a chair. Now, to help your hero out of his plight you have him be strong enough to bend steel and break the handcuffs. Though not logical(who's ever heard of a man breaking handcuffs?), you're still being fair to your readers because he is superhuman, and therefore has superhuman strength. But how does he get off the plane? Well, you place a parachute underneath the seat. Once again, not logical, but fair. However, you want to avoid using too many "not logical but fair" points, known as deux ex machina. Otherwise, your readers lose faith in your story, for it's not fair to give your hero too many free rides. On Mary-Sues... Archimage, I hate to say it, but your character just might be a Sue. Sueness has more to do with weakness versus strength than good versus evil. Just because a character is evil doesn't free them from the crutch of Suedom. A Sue bends the world around them to fit their desires. If you can write them like this without breaking the "not logical, but fair" rule, them go ahead. However, most people can't, and it is very hard to pull off.

Here's my attempt to rewrite it... I added somethings, removed somethings, and yeah...

He asked for it to fade from light to black... I still have the original- Oh, and here's my progress as of late. Frank_ragnar... I'm sorry, but I don't usually do banners. They take WAY too much time.

A rather good guide I would say. Good points- -Clear and direct -Concise -Makes several good points Bad points- -Could benefit from examples -Could benefit from more content As for the "don't be derivative" section... Though you shouldn't write an exact copy of another work, it's perfectly fine to use archetypes. After all, if you use too many prototypes, then you might actually turn the reader off from your story. You need a balance between the two so your readers can identify with the characters without suffering from boredom.

Yay! I have proof that someone actually read my stuff! ..maybe I'll go comment on your guide now.

Sigh...
