Anyone want an NC background?

[Vizon]

I added two more pic's to my Nightcrawler gallery. Not that I have the time, but I can't help it. I like to draw. And the second to last doesn't count because it's a doodle I did in English class, heh heh...which is why it looks so rotten. Oh well. You may use the background if you wish.

OOOHHHH!!! I LIKE that last one!! (the close-up/background of the elf)

[Vizon]

Thanks! As you can probably tell, I put more time into that than the doodle above it. Also, I did it entirely in Adobe Photo Deluxe instead of drawing and scanning a picture. When I have time, I'll smooth out the doodle and maybe shrink his hands a little...or not. Should I shrink his hands? Really if you look in the mirror and compare your hand to your head, they are just about as long...Tell me what you think.

Ok, if you want my ramblings, ok, but you asked for it:
Well, it depends how you want the picture. If you want to make it as if he has his hands further in front of him, the size is ok, because then they would "seem" bigger since they are supposedly "closer" to the onlooker.

If not, what you might want to do is make the head bigger (considering the current proportions of the chest, shoulders, and hands). Particularly the forehead...the chin seems fine. I'm not quite sure, but you can also check and see if widening the temples would work. Overall, a slightly bigger head in the end.

The hand, if you actually measure it against your face, should be about as long as the distance from you chin to slightly above the eyebrows (at least with me and those I have been measuring around me for the sake of this post ;P ). And for the mere purpose of having to much time on my hands, the feet are more or less two times (or 1 and 1/2 times) longer than your hand (if you wanna turn this into a full body sketch)... Ach! Proportions! (I think I just sounded like my art class teacher!)

really cool pics
hey ngthcrwlr!!! there are interesting tips there, perhaps you can tell me more

give me a kiss tall and dark bamfsome!!!

No, go ahead. I don't mind criticism - as long as it's constructive. As you may have noticed, I changed the page around a bit already - smoothed the doodle and took out the stupid window pic'. I might work on the doodle more if I actually cared that much, but the doodle is a doodle and I don't really care, heh heh. With the big background at the bottom, however, it is a different story. That is a more serious picture. I put a lot more time into that one and if you have any comments or suggestions on it, I would probably be more apt to change it. (As hectic as things are around here, I don't feel the need to modify and revamp English class doodles more than once, if you know what I mean.)

Ach, kurtlover!! You want to listen more?!?! (*for your own mental sanity, I suggest otherwise...*) The thing with me is that I usually don't voice out my opinions as much as I listen to those of others and compare notes. Ask me a specific question, though, and I may just go off into another rant (Vizon, feel free to stop me. Please!?)...

The "I give up" one appeals to me, whether proportionate or not, because of the expression and over all feel. It's a sketch, but it achieves its purpose.

The one at the very bottom.....I wouldn't want to meet on a dark night. But I like it a lot...the almost "classical" features in the dark look nice and "gothic". Gee, I'm using a lot of ""'s today, am I not?

Meanwhile, I finally have my own Nightcrawler drawing online. Check out http://www.geocities.com/abysmalweasel/award.html

That is, if it works. If it does...don't laugh.

Why should I laugh? The idea of having Kurt climbing a giant banana, or having a small Kurt clinging to a banana is amazing. And so is your picture! Draw some more fruit-Kurts, bitte.

<font size="1">p. s. Your link has grabbed the dot/period to itself, so the link will not work without a wee bit of editing...</font>

Ach, thank you. Perhaps my next picture will be Nightcrawler emerging from an apple...no, a papaya...no, a!....

On a more serious note, thank you again (and I will edit that link.)
