Also, I love the description, a cyborg race of interstellar iron-mongers is the best summary for the tech-cultists I've ever heard.

It certainly fits the impression of them you gave me in your descriptions!

Hehe, I'm glad. That's the kind of impression I wished to give with them.

This so so awesome I can't even begin to describe the pure awe I have looking at this. I love every single detail, from the eyes, to the wires, to the mouth, to the hail, to the background! This is amazing! Thank you, my friend, so much! I only wish there was a way to repay you?

You are very welcome, of course. After seeing your design, I wanted to draw a Tech-Cultist anyways, so this was very fun & intriguing for me. I enjoyed drawing it, so no repayment is necessary.

I'm glad you wished to draw one! Alright, danke mein fruend. I like your art style, and I am a bit curious on how exactly do you do it?

I primarily draw the design by hand - you can see many of my sketches that have virtually no editing done to them, like the recent Ghost Puppet drawing [link] . Others, I manipulate in Adbope Photoshop (the ancient version 7) to have higher contrast, more interesting colors, lighting effects, and backgrounds. Really, though, I just rely on my hand-drawing skills which I have acquired by practicing since I was very young. That is the best thing to focus on.

Ah, interesting. The only kind of manipulation I do to my drawings are the cropping. (Hehe, ancient..) all of my drawings are in black and white. I see that you've been practicing since you where young, because your skills are fairly good . I've only been practicing quite recently, since I signed up for art class, I began to draw more.

Classes can be very helpful - just be open to suggestion & constructive criticism, and you can have a great learning experience!

Yes, I can tell; after taking the course for a while, my artistic abilities have improved quite a bit from what they used to be. I am fairly open to suggestion and constructive criticism, and I am having a very good experience in that class.
