Locrian: nice. Your pose is invented and bad, huge foreshortened leg in front, seems like you just started rendering the head/torso and went with it, wherever. Construct more, paint less.

damn!  I redrew the legs 5 bazillion times trying to get them to look right.  Care to do a paintover?

Something more like this?

That is certainly much better anatomically. Your posture is lacking. You're not using the off hand to give this character any traits, especially, you're obstructing the fingers. After the face, the hands are the most expressive part of the human, and the face is all hairy and oversharpened, and the hand is obscured. The other has a magic blue glow. As rendering practise, this is great, congrats on upgrading your cg painting skill. As an illustration piece which should be carrying emotion and contextual information for the character, you can do much better.

wow, that is awesome TakaM.

that SO makes me feel like getting a DS, what is the homebrew app, and what are the hardaware pieces you need to do pass information between DS and PC, and how much does each cost?

you can download the app here:

and for a flash cart, I'd recommend the R4, there are quite a few good solutions for homebrew on the DS now, but the majority of users (and homebrew developers) have R4's and develop with them in mind.

I got a deal where I got a 1GB microSD in the same package so everything arrived on the same day, I haven't really looked for the best deal since I'm very happy with my R4, but here's one that seems alright:

making skins for R4 is really easy too, just a couple .bmps if you feel like it, there's thousands of skins made by fans and a couple websites where you can find one you want :)

edit-

done I guess

Not the most difficult of pieces, but a time-consuming one, as I had to draw, ink, scan, and mod it before it was done. I'm thinking of using it as the logo for my platform/(mmo?)rpg project.

Thanks for the crits Helm.  I will keep everything you said in mind when I go back to work on it.  As well as for new pieces.  You are right I neglect the hands and need to bang out a couple hundred gestures to learn to pose things properly.  I will also make sure to post stuff here more often.  People at CA.org don't give much helpful critique it seems.  At least not in the character a week section.
