Been gone a while, nice work friend. I read the other remarks about the dots and it reminded me of a drawing method I haven't tried in a long time. You make light dots randomly all over your paper. The point is that like watching clouds, you watch the accumulation of dots till you start to see a picture. Then you use dots to fill it in and finish the picture.
Anyway, nice work

Thank you!
Im glad to see you back!
Ive been trying to change things up a little. I find the dots seem to give things a little more depth, although I have since expanded with other shading techniques. I like the random dot idea, Im going to have to give it ago, sounds almost like those 3d pictures you have to stare at for hours on end to see the shapes.

Good luck with the random dots picture. My advice is don't force it and be prepared for it just to not work sometimes. And even when it does, it's freaky cause it's all covered in dots lol. But it's cool cause people look at it with no clue how you could possibly draw something cool and detailed with nothing but dots. Our secret! Probably a good thing to put down and pick up later if it's going no where. Keep up the great work!

Fantastic work dude. Kind of looks like an etching, with little dots and scratches. I love that effect!

I really love your dotted drawings like this one, I think it makes it interesting and it has a certain feel to it. This would also be a good candidate to colour digitally.

Thank you!
I have thought about coloring digitally too much.....I experimented with it a little but haven't tried anything in a couple of years....I should give it a try

It can be quite fun actually, I'd recommend you to start at as high resolution as possible.

I love this, such amazing organic shapes. The shading is really something special too.

The design is nice. I suggest avoiding dot stippling for future works. First, it takes a long time to build up a fully gradated value structure with dots. Second, dots are generic. If you take a little time to experiment, I think you could find a far more interesting mark-making patterns. Either way, keep at it, my friend. 
If it will help, I can post some samples from my sketchbook to demonstrate what I'm saying.

Thanks!
To be honest I am not 100% sure of what you are saying....I really need to take an art course one of these days! Although I do understand the time it takes to make thousands of little dots. As to the mark-making patterns....I am a little unsure. Example would be very much appreciated!
Thank you again for your thoughts, they are always appreciated!

No problem. I'm running a little behind, but I am going to post them to my scrapbook.

Whenever I see any of your pictures 'dot shaded' like this, it always makes me think of ants invading
I love it! I always see so much imagery from your work ^_^
