Grar. This is what I said almost the entire time I was making this. Very shiny idea in my head, but when it came to the execution of said good idea, it became an absolute pain in the ass. I would love feedback on this. Any suggestions are also welcome. Grar.

The only thing that bothers me about it is the hard edges between the various segments. Could ya do something to blend or soften them? Not being a digital artist type person, I can imagine that's a lot harder to do than say . probably take a million hours of labor...

Hmmmm.....Ok, I'll fiddle with it - thanks for the suggestion.

Another option is to give it a more comic book effect with the paneling. That includes the center image. If you do the comic thing it can stay where it is so long as it becomes more solid.

Thanks for the suggestion Kayna - I'll give it a go and see how it looks - I haven't had a chance to mess with it more yet, but I think I'll get to that sometime tonight. Thanks again :)

Wow...great work, Nidrian! Definitely can't suggest anything more than what's been put forth by NewOldBrownCoat and Kayna;)

Out of Gas Mal - SMALL
OK so I fixed the size on this. I didn't realize it was soooo massive....anyway same commentary cut and pasted from the massive version: Wow, it has been a super long time since I have posted anything! I have been really busy with my classes and stuck in a creative funk which pretty much sucks. I have decided to try to teach myself how to draw - I'm using the middle school art class tactic of square-by-square which is a sort of cross between freehand and copying. At least thats how I see it. Anywho, this is my first attempt - the mouth is a little weird, the eyes aren't exactly the way I thought they should be and my scanner didn't pick up all the nuances of the shading but, eh, what can ya do? Not too shabby for a first go of it. Comments are like candy. I can never get enough!

River - Bushwhacked (Blue)
Second version with similar uncreative title. Comments are great, as always.

River - Bushwhacked (Red)
Very uncreative title, I know. I kinda struggled with what to do with this one...I started with the background but it needed something more - I came up with two versions, the second of which will be posted shortly. Anyway, comments are awesome and I always love hearing what everyone thinks! =D

Melted III
Third and final color scheme. No text version available upon request.

Second color scheme. No text version available upon request.

So, I have been having kind of a rough day (don't worry, I won't prattle on about the details, suffice to say a close friend is in the hospital) and as always, photoshop becomes my therapy to get my mind off of things for a little while- I had about three different color schemes for this and I think this is probably the best. If anyone would like for me to post the other two different color schemes, just ask and no-text version is available upon request.

Broken - No Text
For anyone who likes no text better. :)
