I am enjoying it<3 love teh bulges

Hehe, thank you very much... all that shading on a larger sheet of paper was a killer... and I even shaded the lazy way too! Well, as for the bulges... I am on an elastic kick... just seems... interesting. *Shrug*

im not good with shading, myself but you certainly did a great job <3

Mmmmn... I wanted shiny smooth... Sorta like what you get with the look of an Orca, though I wanted it to also be something reptilian looking, then with a few almost salamander like aspects... thanks againt though...

Nice job with the bulges mate! The things I might want to say is if your going for a shiny look, make more of a shade on the belly, but still, nice job :3

Yeah, it is a little hard to make white things shiny... that and after drawing for so long on the same piece of paper it is as though it won't let you shade the same anymore... I bet I have to make sure my pencil is the only thing that touches the paper... Oh, possible dirty joke in there not intended.

Haha, I see the joke. True it is. Have you thought about using different paper? We have this gray paper at school we use, its kinda interesting to use :P

We don't have very good art supplies in hillbilly hell I am afraid...

Don't worry man, you will fine some somehow :P

that's much better <3 i can see the body shading so much better, on the scans i didnt really see them clearly but i can see the work and observation that went into it :)

I don;t think you overplayed the elasticity too much at all, it's a little high up but i suppose lizards like him dont have the ribcage like mamals. In short, it looks wonderfull ^_^

This was all done without any real referance either. I mean sure I have seen reptiles and such before, but I did not have up a picture at the time. So there are a couple glitches to be sure. That might be why the stretching appears to be a bit high up. Though I think I was trying to go for the reptile holding the prey within (Not sure what) from underneath causing the overall mass to the front so the for could be bulging outward adn upward slightly over the ribcage... however this could just be a "Stretch" hah! I am so going to hell for my puns... anyhow... I am not sure. It wasn't intentional... that's for sure. ^^"

X3 lol

I see what you were trying to get, it joins a little too high up, that upper bulge should go further on his body and actually it can work like that, typically he'd eat something his stomach would bulge out and downwards under his chest, i've seen my lixards when they gorge, it can be very plyable <3

Yeah... I beleive that it would sag lower down on the body as well, though I think the reason why I had drawn it upward would be that I was running out of paper space... that happens to me a lot... >< Hehe... something about pliable elasticity. It is just fun to draw....

hahaha! oh gods.. that.. yeah.. i do that every single time i draw, luckily on digital i can make canvases bigger but i find.. those that are small enough to fit the original size.. arent as good as ones that are just bigger then the paper <3 they fill the space <3

Hehe, to be honest... I all know is that I am not meant to be a digital artist... I think I might be a bit too old fashioned or I need better than what my lappy has to offer. I have never toyed around with a tablet though... I think I do best on the smaller pieces of paper... I mean I run out with them alot, but at least they usually have the more correct proportions and such rather than some of my larger drawings... >>

it's more a case of getting use to different media :) but yeah.. you do need to get things setup properly, even now i often find my pc doesnt have the memory for the canvases i tend to expand into.. specially once colour comes into it.. colour is such a ram whore

That is probably it to be honest. Since nearly everything that I have done has been on a paper medium making working on a computer screen a little strange and new. Yes, color takes a lot more power than simple black and white or... rater greyscale. I noticed this on my scanner. I switched it to greyscale and the scanning time was easily cut in half.
