looks great =D

Thanks! Digging the blacksad icon, those comics are the bomb.

no prob ;) and yes, blacksad is great =D

really excellent!

Thanks man, I admire your art so its extra special coming from you.

I enjoy this greatly

yay!

Cornershop is a lady, but that aside this pic is great - you've even done her "sepia" toned colour style justice.

Oops damn!

Uhh this rules and Nimade is an awesome character

Thanks!

This is fabulous. My one critique is that the body seems to be flowing directly from the head; maybe adding a light grey wash, or smudging out the details a little, would push it further into the background and make it look less like something coming off from the head.

Ah you're right about that. I've always liked that effect, too.

Definitely one of the more creative pieces from all these trades.

The way you cropped the picture/the composition in general makes this picture very interesting and pleasing to look at. I also like how Nimade is looking at something outside of the frame, something that makes this look like a crop from a bigger scene.

(And I don’t mind if you call me a dude. I’ve been called worse and as we all know, there are no girls on the Internet so I don’t blame you if you thought I was a manly man!)

The way you drew Nimade himself is awesome. I love his expression, how he almost looks hesitant with that pulled-up lip and that intense glare. Not a common expression for him, but a very welcome one. The shading definitely adds to the mood (gosh, I love how the light falls on his face like that) too, makes the picture look a bit… mystical. I don’t know if it’s the right word, but you get what I mean. In any case, the colours are delicious and I want to taste them!

Thank you so much for the trade Bacillus. I love the outcome!

Ah thank you so much for your kind words. I'm afraid I don't have nearly as many to throw back, but I am touched that you like this. It was a pleasure to draw. :)

No problemo. I'm sorry if I come off as overly excited about every little thing drawn for me. I just love the fact that people would draw my creations and sometimes I find it hard to not type a mini essay in response. I don’t expect people to be as verbose in return, of course :)

Why are you apologizing? I love people who leave well thought out comments, I think every artist does. :) I was ecstatic you drew mine but I was mostly wiggling up and down in my chair, not so much good at the making the words on the internet

Aw, it's alright then. I approve of chair wiggling too!
