I love the half finished thing, it lets us know that you're human and you have a process with everything, you just don't pop out the great drawings.

Can't wait to see the finished one, I'm sure it's great!

oh its very good!! the ear bugs me and the angle is just a tad bit off, but hey! i suck so i can't really say anything! I LOVE your clean lines and the hair is outstanding, keep it up!!

1 Darren J. Rigler replies: "its old...start of the summer ^_^ so a lot og things are off...ugh...cant stand the hair...i used to like it but it grosses me out now ^_^;;; i just needed a filler pic so i could finally make an account...and by the time i made one i had like 8 pics ^_^;;;"

1 Darren J. Rigler replies: "@_@ I dunno....it just looks gross ^_^"

Wow, excellent inking skills. .... dude... more like MAD KICK MONKEY ARS INK-O SKILL-O. .... or at least that's what we down at da ol' pad used ta call 'em till Mad Mr. Jones tanned us good fer a dissrespectin' our Monkey aka Aunt Agatha. (we always wondered how she came by that tail.)

.... yeah.... ok..... if you hadn't figured it out by now, i'm a little excentric. .... guess that goes on opinion though. I'm also more than a little bored right now.

Serious advice for you: Since you're so set on being a comic artist, try out some backgrounds. That'll do you good.

1 Darren J. Rigler replies: "backrounds is one of those things i smell at...along with bodies (IMO). my plan was to get good enough at bodies, then start on doing backrounds...i just dont want to put too much stuff on my to-do list for now...much too stressed with everything else ^_^ but ill take your advice since you are so cool ^_^ next pic i do...ill make a sad sad attempt at a backround...well....i will try....it will just be sad ^_^;;; "

1 Darren J. Rigler replies: "well...im actually 16 ^_^ ill be 17 in a month...and i put 17 everywhere cuz i will forget to change it XD and im lazy...and my smooth lines? on this pic it was when i was a terrible inker...all the lines are uneven and stuff....i worked so long on it XD but all the other pics...the inking is better....you just cant usually tell cuz of the colouring...and i find fine ballpoint pens are the best 2 i like the amount of control you get with them....its nice"
