Yo. Haven't been here for a while due to a fairly distressing situation, but that has calmed down for now, so i'm back to bugging all of you fine people.

I turned 16 during my absence biggrin

still haven't gotten my permit though, because i'm terribly lazy and can't be bothered with reading the damn manual.

anyhoo, here's some art for you.

No, this is not part of an actual comic. It started with the nurse to the left, and then I added a speech bubble, then it just kind of evolved from there. Took me all damn day. I was drawing painfully slow :V. EDIT: The fact that it was drawn in MS Paint contributes to the crappyness. I hate the pixelly mess it ended up being, but all I have on this computer is MS. So I had to deal.

I'm thinking of kind of using this as a sample to lure unsuspecting comic book writers into my trap, so any feedback is valued. Dunno if I want to get into illustrating comics again though. I had some trouble last time I did that. People kept trying to rip me off and then fall out from under me. Not cool, man.

On a completely unrelated side note, I have an interesting dilemma.

I have several people pushing me to get a tattoo gun and open an illegal "tattoo parlor." At first I was like, "oh, hells no." but then I thought about it. It can't be all that terribly hard to do, and the payout is hella good, but that's about the only pro I can think of. Cons include:

-massive legal reproccutions if the person I ink ends up with an infection or some such thing.
-there can't be too many people willing to let an underaged, unlicensed girl draw permanent things on them.
-it's just a very sketchy thing, and i'm not sure if I want to get into that as the start of my art career.

what would you do? I mean, I'm obviously not going to open an underground tattoo parlor, but i'm just interested in how many people would.

ok, I can take a hint.


I won't be bothering you folks again. Thanks for the help you've given me in previous posts. Have a good time artfagging it up without me.

Hah, well I really like the color theme you got there. It seems a bit stretched horizontally. I'm sure if that was intentional or not but it's ******** with my eyes.

I just read that you did all of that in MS Paint, that's awesome! Seriously, wow. I can barely draw anything with Photoshop, and you did that in MS Paint. Kudos.

As far as the tattoo parlor, I'd personally never do it.Too many really bad things could happen.

(Oh, and I don't think you should stop coming to the guild just because it took some people a long time to respond. Because this is just a guild, you can't expect everyone to just kinda jump on it all at once. I think you should still come back and see if anything changes with another piece. Especially since this could be a time when lots of people are busy and don't have time to give detailed critiques on lots of pieces [referring to yours PLUS others].)

Super impressed that this was done in Paint. You've got a lot of detailed linework in there somehow, and that's really neat.

I'd advise against the illegal tattoo parlor thing--too much can go wrong there. Maybe you could spend the money on a screen printer and make some custom clothes, people buy that, and you're certainly good at graphic design.
