Sword dude

im kinda into swords lately d:
tell me what you think

Its very good. Anatomy and proportions look correct.

Holly shit sexy did u use flash for that because it looks amazing

yeah i did ,I have photoshop though i got used to drawing on flash

Can I color it in :3

I'm thinking that the ink spots remind me of an ancestral swordsman that reigned back in the days when the scroll was the new envelope.
For me, the ink spots are the main source of the image's overall feel. They are nice-looking.

@ bandaid sure ,I tried coloring it before but failed lol

@ Hitorio i was experimenting with ink spots ,didnt really turn out the way i wanted it to .

@Hitorio
I totally agree, my favourite thing about it is the inkiness.

@ OP [G-war]
I'm impressed dude, really I underestimated you!
Very pro manga looking with it's own authentic style.
Eye trails were a nice touch. Gives a lot of movement to the picture, but doesn't clash with the ink spots that are almost like a frame outline.

IMPORTANT TIP GUYS!!!
always ALWAYS do what G-war did in this picture [experiment!!!]
Never keep yourself in your comfort zone; there's virtually NO growth there.
You have to KEEP trying something new in each drawing, be it a new style, or simply developing a style you're already trying.
That's how you learn fast.

I agree with the stand-out-ish blue text posted above. o.o It works.

It honestly does.

I promise you that's what all the 'talented' artists do.
It's not talent. It's them pushing themselves until they get better than they ever thought they could.

It separates the terkoiz from the common darkdemon noob.

*Has just checked out darkdemon*

Ok. Agreed.
I do think that it does take some amount of mental talent, though. It does make a difference. Not everyone improves at the same pace.
