well i guess it was around time to post what little artwork i Have done.

hers that unoffical art channel #2 drawing i made. its just a little late ( oh its also not done and I dont think im going to finish it)

I think i did a good job with the leaves of the tree but i dont like the bricks in the tower really and the main tree could use some work. I had troble trying to show the broken part of the tower. I also did a little too much with that branch that comes back over on top of the bricks in the broken part. You cant really see it very well I think the problem is just too much in one space. I wanted to finish up with the grass over growing that little brick path i made didnt finish that either. I didnt know what to throw in for the background ethier i was thinking about some mountians or something. If you coudnt tell the paper is also in very bad shape the very top i had to cut off beacuse it riped and there is a riped part near the top of the tower. thats the main reason i didnt finish well beside the fact i get out of the mood of drawing and want to play some games.


now here is the starting picture of what i thought a kran might look like I know the first one is really rough I should say, but it gave me an idea of how to do the rocks

and my last attempt on it. I thought i was going a good job until i got to the arms I wanted to put more rocks into him but i just didnt work out that way so i stoped messing with it after the arms

Ack! Scale those down! :} There's no reason for them to be so large, unless your images have intense detail that you would want to show - and even then, it is better to take individual cropped shots of the detail than have an image that big. A height of ~1200 pixels is much too large. You should have 800 as the maximum, but I would recommend 600 - half of what you have now. If a person needs to scroll to see the entire picture, it is much harder to put together and understand as a whole.
