100% digital *o* I even covered the lines as I was drawing, so it could look like a painting. I like this look a lot a lot. Hope you all like it too :3

PS., if I could paint straight lines with a tablet, I would consider myself God. But I can't so I don't. :B

Characters are (C) Anne Rice's The Vampire Armand

I think it's done. I'm not sure, uuuuuuu. If you can offer advise on how to improve this, I will happily edit it. Just don't say something useless like "it's kind of wrong" because then I have no idea HOW to fix it. Tell me what "right" looks like and I'll try to make it thus.

If you fav one of my pictures, PLEASE COMMENT! I like to know what I'm doing right, or how I could improve.
I love the shading/coloring for it. I haven't done a 100% digital painting in the longest time. T_T I want to do one now! ^o^

>:U Quick! Get into my pants if you want to live!
I clicked on i it cause i thought it was a painting. Shows how good it is.
OMG. I LOVE YOU.
xDDD that...was really nice...*blood going down from all the parts of her body* really really niceeeee*collapses and dies*
Beautiful! That "sex kitten" comment goes double for the colored version. Armand looks wonderfully disheveled and truly debauched. Still, I think the best part of this is that there's still a strong romantic atmosphere. Must be all the red.

Awesome! I simply love it!
and you know what..I think uneven lines just give pictures more life...
I like it the way it is..
Hehe, yay! I'm being encouraged to offer criticism XD I feel so horrid doing this sometimes...

Anyways, mean stuff first.
-The colours are quite patchy. It feels something like painting in that respect, but much as this works great in styles such as impressionism and expressionism I guess your going for a more classical look, in which case a bit more smudging and blurring may be needed for large and flowing areas of colour (though you still avoid the delecate edges.
- It almost feels 'out of focus' in that the edges could perhaps be sharper and more distinct. Correcting this is tricksy, but dooable if you have lots of time and patience. I had a crack at it myself (hope you don't mind) and it basically consists of going along any outline and, with a brush that has a low soft edge value, you eyedrop the colours along the edge and build the two opposite sides gradually into each other. Then, being careful not to cross the line between the two areas you use the blur tool and merge the tiny new bits you've laid down until it all looks smooth and nice again. To avoid the problem in the first place (should you want to) you could either work at a higher resolution using all the same brushes around edges, then blow it all down a bit afterwards, or simply use a finer brush around edges, or alternatively use a mask to create a distinct cut-off point around shapes.
- The hand's anatomy is a little funny by your high standards.

And then good stuff of course, considering as always you've actually done a great job. I mean, for a start the choice of colour itself is almost perfect, and I love the subtle highlights you've put all over the place. It's kinda fun to go looking for them. My favourite is the artery on his arm. The blueish tint showing through the skin really helps to seperate him from the vampiric look, and creates something of an interesting contrast. Also the folds in draperies and clothing is well observed, and I think the composition and pose is done rather nicely. The expression is both a kind of longing, but has a slight hint of fascination as well, which fits what I know of the characters' interactions and relationship rather well. The transparency of the hangings in the background is nice too, as it lends an air of professionalism to it, without causing the background to draw you eye away from the hardcore XXX action XD

I like the patterns on the blue and pinks thingies :)

Oh yeah, and I'll send along the doodad I did if you want it.
