I know what you mean about bg's.I can do them,but I honestly never really feel like it,because my bg's turn out...well...genaric,plain,and simple.Nothing special.lol

A question...do you do anything special in photoshop to fix them up?Because i'm having problems to where everything that I scan,comes out WAY worse then the original.I tried experimenting with photoshop...and well...still [link] tips?

this is sick!!!

Sick? Dunno what you mean .. what's so sick about a witch riding her broom?

I'd really like to draw more BGs since a cool background can add A LOT to a pic. But I lack great ideas (as you said, generic, plain, simple) and it would cost me even more time than the character-only-pics already do.

About your question .. yeah, scanners sometimes suck! My mom's scanner (whick I usually use) doesn't capture the lighter tones. In this pic here the rocket-boost-whatever-engine looked much better on paper .. see the light shading-stripe in the upper half of the engine thingy? It can hardly be seen on the left side .. on paper it was still rather light, but you could see there was some light shading. Same goes for most of my lighter skin tones and especially bright yellow tones (that "flame" thing ..) Seems like we can't do much about it, except for buying a new fancy scanner I guess.
As for editing in PS .. Usually I don't edit too much in PS. Only thing I do sometimes is duplicating the image-layer and multiply it. Makes the sometimes weak colours more .. vivid or whatever you might call it. And of course after scaling done an image you could duplicate the layer again, sharpen it and set layer visibility (?) to 30-50% or so. But this doesn't help with the colours, only for small details :/

Haha, this is really nice! You know, you see the stuff so much more clearer in colours. ( As I said, 'you know'. xP )

Good job, man.

I know? You say? You said I know? Huh?

You're right .. it's -at least in most cases- easier to see things clear in the finished, full-colour versions .. this goes for many people's pencil lines .. and especially for my lines, which are really really weak.

Thanks!

Oh..kay .. now that's much better Thank you!

As usual, this is a great drawing.

For a backgroud - a moon with some clouds would be pretty cliche. But I think with your unique illustration style it could be interesting.
