Sounds like a plan

Awesome pic charha!

Thanks! I tried something new here. Later on I noticed that some of the cell shading is a bit sloppy around LandingZones wings. I guess it's partly because instead of sleeping that night I decided to finish coloring this one and I think my attention span wasn't at its best in end.

looks great

Thanks! =D

Oh, he is. ^_^;;

Gah I know he is evil but he still such a cutie! *grabs the feline and huggles lovingly* I am a dragon I can handle a vampire *nod nod nods*

Be careful! The small evil one might have fleas.

Aww thats amazing I love the shading X3

Thanks! I seldom try cell shading like this. It was a fun experiment. =)

Oh Rip sure got the tune I like, and well the anatomy is just so fine with booth of them I just can't dig them with my eyes enough. You know you really can do some great male's. May head is manlier than ever before. What a yaw I got. I also like the pants and the boots you gaved me. =3 Now for the lights and shadows. They are really great. My self only tired this once, and well how to say this is simple but also effective a lot. Does the feel. And well I bet not many people look into the shading deeply. Most time I feel I waste my time with soft shading. But what I realy like is that sneaky look on Rip's face. Tell's everything to me. I love it.

It's really hard to get your features just right because you have such a unique style of your own. I think that the initial sketch looked pretty good, but then I inked it and the profile changed. *scratches head*

The decision to try cell shading was a thing sparked up by my curiosity and, admittedly, lack of time. I have no idea where the light is supposed to be coming from... I should try and get into some art class or something so I'd know more about these things.

Sketches they are better always. I assume I have an answer to that. There are more lines. You didn't come down to one till you don't ink. And well or brain is a weird thinker, it always thinks. Selects the best lines for us automatically, ya know like people see things in objects. Like that famous face in the cliff photo, where some see the face some not. The problem is that we can't put that trough the ink. Or eat least I can't do. Dam it my brain know which lines the best, but when it comes to inking I don't see it anymore.

Cell shading is cool. I just to lazy to come out with my own. It's good that you can do more than one shading.
Light setting is right top of the picture. It okay. General when there is no background the lighting can be anything. We don't see it. It may be a spot light, but what if it a little bigger light. A neon. Than the light may can come from all above. The lighting is fine. If we judge it in 3D than it can be even more complicated. And what if if there are multiply lights. What you done several times before. With your wonderful candles. Your lights are fine. I assume a little more self confidence.

I like your explanation of how the human mind 'self-censors' more fluid pictures like sketches to retain a 'memory' more desirable in the mind-scape. Very perceptive

This is how it works, I just summed my knowledge about this.

Fiddles <3

They're a pain to draw. -_-;;

I know D: I never bother >___>;

I'm charmed!!!! *drools*

Don't ask him to play Dance Macabre. That song goes on forever and it would just make him more excited.

Ripkin doesn't have to play anything (at least not a musical instrument) to charm me. Just turning up is probably enough. ^_^

shiro says
play

I rather play him like a fiddle X3

I'm sure he'd love that. ;>

Heehee..I just hope me and him don't get caught XD

Something seems less fluid about your style here... :o

It's still hawt!

I adjusted the contrast of the levels so that the inks are pitch black... usually they're a lot more faded when I start coloring. I usually don't try cell-shading like this either. And normally I use up to 60 layers when I color stuff, here I only used about 3 layers. This was something of a spur of the moment experiment... Maybe a bit rushed too, here and there. ^_^

60?! D:

Dear me, dear me.

Maybe I should start doing that for when my experimenting phailz. x3

y'know... I think ya oughtta use this pic of Rpkin now anytime the drama llama strikes... ;)

Heh, I just might. =D

Oh man, Ripkin is teh sex in this pic! Hubba hubba!

*Orders his snakey out of the room* "You stay away from that one, you hear me?!"

We better try and keep them separated, otherwise Ripkin might start spawning some hissing and scaley little manbabies or something equally disturbing. He's such an attention whore he might even lay an egg just to impress someone. <_<

Stop giving me ideas for slashfic with your characters and mine!!

Pardon me; Ripkin is so cute...*said in dreamy 'crush on you' voice* Just had to say that..........I am so sleep deprived.

Aw, I hope you got a good night's sleep. I'm a real night owl myself... I can stay up all night if I feel like it. :3

really gorgeous work <3

*points at your avatar*

You two should play a duet. =)

now that i´d wanna see X3

o.o i wonder what looks she would be giving me

Hahaha...this is how I got my mate interested in me...only I was singing instead of attempting to screech on my violin.

Wow, really? I wish I could sing! But my voice sounds like a heap of bagpipes being trampled on. ^_^;;

That's what my non-leet violin skills sound like...plus a dying cat >_<

Great picture. Really. And nice char landingzone has there. However, I fear Ripkin will have a bit of trouble agian if some certain vampire guy finds out. I won't tell him ^^

Aw, I'm sure Ripkin appreciates you not telling anyone... ^^

Hehe. well. I also now got something to blackmail him Nah, I am not that evil hehe^^

Ripkin sure doesn't have an ingenius look here XD XD
Excellent work as always :D

Thanks! ^_^

hehehehehehe that shows that rascal is a truly casanova XD hehehehehe what will happen the next XD

Ripkin will certainly try his best to sweep him off his feet... Well, who knows. ^_^;;

:P

:x <3

I have to agree with Kumbartha, if Malek finds out whats going on here I don't think he'll be too happy... I remember what happened when Malek caught Rip with a certain dragon they met at a local tavern.

I wouldn't worry about it, Ripkin deserves a little beating every now and then. :p

shame on Ripkin... but she is so dang cute....

V.

Ripkin is actually a he, although a pretty girly one at times. His gender has always been a bit vague. ^^;;

*eyes get big... reallllyyyy???? but but but.... the donkey and all....

danggggg....

V.

Maybe the donkey-boy was a bit surprised as well... >_>;;

I was about to say... " Ripkin being nice and playing the violin just for fun?"

how can I be this innocent still... STILL!

anyways... excellent as usual Lady :3

When Rip's playing nice, there's always some string attached... But I'm sure that LandingZone won't fall into his charms. ^_^

D: <3 Go Ripkin lawl xD

;3; I want a blue one! That's nifty.

When I was a kid I sort of wanted to learn how to play the violin... Never bothered to learn though. Violins are so expensive.

Hehehe this Rip XD Love the cel shading looks good with your style ^^

Thanks! I'm quite new to it. =)

Oh Rip, how I missed him and his crazy antics XD

I'm sure he'd love to hear that. ^_^

On a strange, non sexual way, I like Rpikin's feet^^ *cuddles*

But Ripkin will turn everything into an erotic innuendo. He thinks you want to do crazy stuff with his feet. :0

If I gave him a headnut, what would he say then?

He'd pretend that he liked it... He might also pretend that the slight feeling of arousal is mutual. :/

Ripkin charms me all the time. x)

He tries very hard. :p

Cute! I'd no idea Rip' could play the fiddle

Rip can follow musical notes like one would read a book, but apart from that he has very little creative skills. He can't paint or draw his way out of a paper bag and he's almost totally color blind. :P

Cat & the fiddle, nice
