Nice work guys. I too have a few inked friends with original creations of mine running around the world now (4 confirmed and one awaiting inking). I was actually looking to pick up my pencil again soon.

nice,............
i'm glad i can draw
being able to draw your own adult material = win
ok, here's one i did just now at work. no time to shade or nothing. would've liked to go into detail with the snake/dragon thing but can't right now.
quick question, how long does it take you guys to make something like this? just curious. took me like 10-15 min
btw, i totally screwed up by giving her horns, kinda lame and killed the whole sketch for me. if i can redo it, i'd give her one massive horn in the middle of her forhead

I like the head of the snake/dragon, Sumo. The woman looks pretty deadly too. Depending on the size and subject, I can usually crank out a decent sketch in 5-10min. Sketches and simple line drawings come pretty quickly for me. But my large fine art pieces can take me 4+ months to finish because I'm a lot more deliberate when drawing and coloring them. Fine art is more relaxing to me so I like to take my time with them. Drawing and coloring comic characters always gets me hyped and I just can't wait to finish them. When I'm working on something for a customer, I'm on a deadline and I have to get the piece done in the allotted time.
Here are old drawings I dug up...0ver 10 years ago, don't mind the aging of the paper, also my babymama ripped them all up years ago and I tediously taped them up and scanned them and cleaned up the tear lines.
I truly did this on LSD, Black Pyramid gels w/ the gold
Characters from my old comic book: Misshell and Psycho, beach influence by when Image comics first had their swimsuit issues
Serpent Sorceress, notice where the serpent came from
Killer Green Buddy
Loki
Death
Fairy
Undead Rider
here's Gargoyle Queen without the whiteout edit

you've got some skills bro, those pics look sick! this really inspires me to pick up a pencil again. i like your style, i can tell you are inspired by comic book style drawings. i love the sci fi and mystical creatures stuff
what kind of training/school experience do you guys have?
i've got zero formal training whatsoever. i never even took art class in highschool. everything i do have come from nothing more than a little talent, a lot of practice and a keen eye i guess. but i'm so out of practice, i can feel my hands aren't steady like before when i drew a lot. i feel rushed, impatient and sloppy in my strokes

School will only teach you the fundamentals: how and where to shade, and 3D, etc. Michael Jordan can teach you how to dunk, but not everyones gonna be able to reach the basket. Ive showed and taught a lot of friends throughout the years, some better others not, its the way we all see things. I day dreamed a lot as a kid and my mental visualization is very vivid. I can look at a blank paper and already see what I want to achieve, thats how I know how to get there.
Everything is repetition over and over, practice and practice: just like music, which I was very good at. And I knew I was good because a lot of people told me I was good.
