Get good?!

I dun think you're giving yourself enough credit here!

Either way, I used to do the same thing back in the day, though my interest was dinosaurs. I wish I still had some of that old work lying around, but alas, it has all gone by the wayside over the years!

oh, wow, thanks for the kind words. I just copy photos, though, so it doesn't feel like real talent. most people can do it if they try hard enough.

Not a problem at all!

But on that point, it isn't as easy as it looks! It would often take me hours to copy the picture of one of my dinosaurs - and that was usually a carefully selected one, and quite often for how easy I thought it might be to draw!

So again, don't sell yourself short. Doing a work of this quality, even if you are copying it from a photo or illustration, isn't really all that easy at all!
