    As much as you seem to regret your "out of date" style... I'm one of those who doesn't enjoy the new "anime/manga" fantasy art that seems to be coming out more and more. Then again I was an absolute died in the wool 2E artwork kind of guy.

    So I appreciate a little bit of the "older school" you're throwing out there and if you feel like getting some text-based inspiration for some of your subsequent "drawings that aren't maps"... I'd be more than glad to throw you a little text I've been working on... (just a measley 130k words). PM me if you're interested and if you're not... just keep cranking them out baby.

    This last one is some damn fine work my friend.

    Looking forward to the final version.

    I love that the toes are pointed on the foot that's up. I grew up with dance, and it's the little things that make the picture real.

    G - I nearly killed myself trying to draw those toes. Since I do this in the evenings I didn't have access to my sis and my nieces are with their dad for a few days so I stood in front of the bathroom mirror with my leg in the air (nice visual, eh?). Lost my balance about 5 times and gave myself a real crick in my hip...pathetic - I used to be a good dancer in college, well club dancer. It's always the little things that count.

    J - Yeah, I'm no fan of Anime either. I'll just leave it at that.

    This is as far as I got on my dancer before the clarion call of maps drew me back. I'd like to finish it but I'm back in Beast Mode so I dunno.

    great sense of movement on this one...

    that face angle is a tricky one to capture right, but you did well on it too...

    it may have been this thread of yours that started me thinking about doing my own sketching in the guild...

    you are either an inspiration or a band influence...

    not sure which...

    but you do better than i at still producing maps while sketching...

    my own map process is still much too time intensive...

    Wow, for a 12 year hiatus, you're doing good .

    Would you like some criticism? Or just getting back into the groove?
