Hoppin' on the bandwagon. I doodle a lot, and sadly enough, most of what comes out is Maplestory fanart. Primarily of my character, Venison, the priest. I don't know why this is. But since there is an art subforum here, I will use it to my advantage!
Note: These are all just random doodles. I can't finish anything I start so if anything says incomplete or whatever, it's not a work in progress--it's literally just incomplete. I have a very, very short attention span and I can't work on anything for long enough to finish it.
Also, the reason why I always draw the same stuff over and over? Because I'm not creative and I just don't draw many random characters. I'm up for new material possibilities, though, so if you want me to try your character drop me a line. ;D No fees & no guarantees. Woo!
WARNING: PICTURES MIGHT BE BIG BECAUSE I DRAW THEM HUUUGE AND I SCALE THEM DOWN A BUTTLOAD BUT THEY ARE STILL HUUUGE!
Spoiler
The picture done for my signature, of my character with my favorite mage outfit (you'll see it quite a freakin' bit in my Maple fanart).
My brother's character, Colpo, incomplete. You'll probably see lots of his character pictures too because once again, it's another thing I draw alot. Doodled with a tablet, finished off (ink & color) with mouse.
Random crusader. I like Devil's Sunrises. I also like Gradient shading. But I don't like the eyes. They are pomegranate. Oh wells! Oh, note: This was doodled originally with a tablet, then inked & colored with a mouse.
Another one of Venison...hmmm...I was trying a different cartoony style, and still am messing around with this style. The perks of it? It's fast. It suits my attention span! Woo!
Toldja there'd be more requierres. Mouse only.
And a mixture of Maple and other random. But mostly Maple. Let's see...there's a Link-esque hiding up there in the corner, a sin with that AWESOME HAIRDO THAT I LOVE T__T!, some face I never finished with emerald earrings lol, a Paintchat picture of something not Maple related, Venison again (bottom left), and Colpo and Venison with CRAAAZY HATS!, including the fugly mage hat I hate. The fury hats. And the awesome warrior hats.
Okay I'm blustering off to go doodle some more.
Also, just to say, I use really only Photoshop to do everything. (CS2, but I can do the same stuff in 7 or CS1, it really doesn't make a difference. OH AND IT'S LEGAL it's just a student license.) I own Painter and have Open Canvas and ... cough ... obtained Flash, but I keep going back to Photoshop because I loove it.
I use a Wacom Intuous 2. I got it when it was a lot cheaper than they are now...It was like $95 or something and its 5x7.
I reccomend any Wacom product. I hear the Bamboo is pretty awesome, and it's fairly cheap. Oh, and one thing about tablets: SIZE DOESN'T MATTER ! Unless you want huge space to draw on, the big tablets are damned annoying. (My mom has a 12x16 one and it's really annoying to use.) So get the teeny weeny one. :3

I like you, girl. Though, as constructive criticism, I'd say that the sunrise is a tad fat compared to a normal sunrise Make it thinner!
Am I the only perosn who draws with a pencil anymore X_x
lyk..What are you peeps doing...it seams to confusing to draw with a tablet...you like..move ur hand on a peice of paper but see the drawing on the comp..must be hard as hell

Hehehe, you're right! I think it's all on it's own layer...I'll squish it in later. :3

Haha it's a bit annoying to get used to at first but the learning curve is quick! Tablets are amazing, I recommend them to anyone even remotely interested in any kind of computer artwork. :3 A mouse can do anything, but a tablet can do it faster!
