New Character's

Hey y'all here is a new guy. I had a bunch of other ideas over vacation and I will post them here with the hopes that I recieve the awesome C+C that you guys are famous for user added image

I figure these guys could be the crew onboard a space ship in the story I have going with my man in the moon guy (see other post user added image)

I dont know what my fascination with slimey things is lately but.... I am thinking the snail guy would be the captain and the two other guys could be part of the crew....

good old colored pencils in the sketch book here user added image

This is no C&C.
This is just a good ol-fashioned praise.

Incredible job mate! How do you find time to work on so many stuff?
Personally I like the bickering brothers, I wonder if you did those in some onion skin paper?

I actually DONT have the time for this user added image while my wife sleeps I use my laptop next to her... if we go somewhere I make her drive while I draw... those drawings were done in the car user added image Its all I think about these days...

I didnt use any onion skin paper... Is that like vellum? I actually cheated in Photoshop user added image I threw a darker color beneath my drawing, set the drawing layer to darken and used the gradient tool beneath those two layer to bring out the lighter areas... the first one had no PS help... but it did have the help of my friends 4 year old daughter scribbling on the bottom user added image

first render of the cappin' How can I make him look more captain like? some sort of emblem or medals
