No updates since September? Naughty naughty. Your technique is pretty good, but I think you need to bump up the energy level in your compositions, things are a little to static.

hey bludhund!

yeah! i know, it's bad, but i've been really busy at work and doing 3d stuff in my sparetime.
but i soon start drawing again. i actually did a few on paper, but i haven't got a scanner... doh:)
