Description Some notes:

I saw the first few episodes of the Clone Wars CGI thing and dismissed it as dull and pointless but then I caught a few episodes from later in the run and got quite into it. Some fun stuff.

Trying to work out a looser inking style. I need to try it on a proper scene as opposed to just a pose (and an admittedly weird pose at that, she looks like she's climbing an invisible fence). I also want to try changing my drawing style a little, making it a bit more cartoony and focusing on shapes instead of forms and stuff like that.

This is the first time I've changed my line art to bitmap before colouring it. Works wonders. There's a great tutorial i used here - [link] (yes I know you're all shaking your head at me in quiet disappointment because I didn't change line art to bitmap before now, if you didn't notice I'm not very good at this!).

I totally drew a girl who doesn't look like a pouting sex doll! See! See!

Yeah I'm pretty constantly smeared with the stuff. Never really been able to get the hang of digital inking.

This is something I admire. I could never go back to traditional art stuff.

Yeah it's weird like that I had completely written it off.

The bitmap version of the line art makes changing the line colour a dream. Could really be handy. And thanks for the fav man.

Great work man! Glad the bitmap's working for ya! I tried it once before, but unless it's a really really hi res file it seems to go all crappy (I was probably doing it wrong...)
Anyway, lovely stuff, hope to see more soon!

I think you have to spend a little time getting the linework ready to get the most out of having it as bitmap.
