Hello, I have a question
Would you like to draw for me 6 people? [they're diffrent races]. I'm writing a story and they're my main characters. It's pretty much important for me, so I'm asking every talented person

Thanks, Oscar! It's kinda small and empty right now and a lot of it's pretty old. Hopefully I'll get some free time after a while and be able to work on some new stuff. I don't really like most of what I've got in there but, eh, what you gonna do.
You're gallery's really Impressive! Seriously, I wasn't expecting work that good. No wonder David took a liking to it.
Hope you enjoyed the show! Glad you stopped by.

Thank you so much! For the favs, the watch and all the sweet comments! Nothing makes my day more than that. It's really appreciated. Although I think "incredible" is being a bit generous. I still got a loooonnngggg way to go but I'm workin' on it. Thanks again!

Hehe, I was looking at your page and noticed the Skullmonkey and Vertigo stamps. Both are pure win.

TCShelton In reply to bratkitty [2010-03-16 03:24:27 +0000 UTC]
Haha, awesome! Man I grew up on Skullmonkeys. Finally beat it a couple of years ago. Did you every play the Neverhood? Great game. And it's actually where Klaymen and all of them originally came from. I highly recommend it if you haven't (and if you can still find a copy).
And yes! Any fan of Vertigo is a friend of mine. I've only read a few of their series (Sandman, Y:The Last Man, Preacher, Fables, A handful of others) but I'm NEVER disappointed. It's gotten to the point now where I'll just check the spine of graphic novels and look for the Vertigo label. But then again, where else am I supposed to look in the world of comics? Since I don't really care for superhero stories (Watchmen being the exception) or manga.
Sorry for the long reply. I can be a bit chatty sometimes. But I'm glad you approve!

bratkitty In reply to TCShelton [2010-03-16 04:41:06 +0000 UTC]
Lol, I'm just as bad. I never find anyone on here that's a fan of either of those so I had to point it out. XD
I actually never knew about Neverhood. I had just assumed Skullmonkeys was a standalone game. I used to love that game back in the day. Never did beat it though. Came close. Does Neverhood play a lot like Skullmonkeys does?
Haha, yeah I get the same way when I go to buy graphic novels. I have yet to come across something Vertigo has put out that I haven't liked. I'm currently collecting Fables and Preacher. I'm actually a bit embarrassed that I haven't read Sandman yet. My friend has it, but I haven't got around to reading it yet. It's extra embarrassing because I love Neil Gaiman's work. Have you ever read Black Orchid or Books of Magic?
Superhero comics are okay. I like some of the Batman graphic novels, and X-Men depending on who's writing it.

TCShelton In reply to bratkitty [2010-03-16 07:38:33 +0000 UTC]
Likewise, I'm glad you said something.
Actually the Neverhood is a point and click sorta game (like Mist and the like). But it's awesome because you get to explore this world and it's all made of clay and it's really kinda beautiful in a quirky sorta way. I've replayed it so many times and it still never gets old. Plus it's funny to boot. And actually there's another game made by the same people called Boombots which is a tournamet style fighting game but it doesn't have much to do with the other two (although you can unlock Klaymen as one of the fighters).
Haha, and definitely get around to Sandman when you get the chance. It was the first non-manga comic I read and it's pretty much what converted me to western comics for good. And even with everything else I've read, it's still my favorite. You just can't beat the writing and I think Neil shines best in comic form. I actually haven't read Black Orchid or Books of Magic yet (although they're definitely on my insanely long to-read list) but I'm a huge Neil fan as well. I've read just about all of his novels and short story collections and most of his short comics too. So it's kinda sad that I haven't read the other two but I'll get around to it eventually.
And yeah, Superhero comics are fun (a lot of my friends are in to them). I've just never found one I could really sink my teeth into. I used to be a big fan of the X-Men cartoon back in the 90s, though. I think it's because most of them have been revamped and retold and reworked so many times and there's all these spinoffs that I get a little intimidated by them.

I came here, curious to know who had devwatched me and found out you're one of Jamie's friends!
Hi!
Lovely work, the women you draw have very soft and pleasant features, carefully drawn detailling and natural, expressive poses. I enjoy your unique style a lot, it's quite distinctive and is supported by your overall superb use of composition and contrasts.
Awesome work, lovely gallery!

TCShelton In reply to ramaon [2009-08-07 03:14:12 +0000 UTC]
Oh, my goodness. Such lovely words, thank you! Yeah, I came across your page because Jamie featured you not too long ago and then I saw one of your comments and was thinking I needed to check out your gallery in more detail. Your coloring is beautiful, like crazy beautiful and your style of drawing people is very distinctive as well. I love that in an artist. So after a bit of browsing I was like, "Yeah... must add. Definitely." So thank you again. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future. I'm really loving the noir style, BTW. Very nice.
