Description Well...bit of a story behind this one. I was playing Resistance 3, and the sky took it upon itself to deposit all its static electricity a short distance from my house, thus causing a not-as-temporary-as-I'd-have-liked power failure. By virtue of the fact that this is a laptop, I was able to do at least something, so I started drawing a mech. I did a fair bit of it, then the power came back on, and I've had to finish the bloody thing because I put too much time into it (I'm that slow). Next time there's a power failure, I'll remember to read a book or something.

I'd have put storm clouds in but I really couldn't be bothered. That's the long and short of it. Enjoy.

P.S. Very, very slightly Tron-inspired. I'd probably have done another Mass Effect comic if I hadn't watched it recently.

Thanks screenscan, although I don't think I'm really capable of doing anything more detailed...yet.

dont force yourself to things that will burn you inside out.

No problem at all. ^^

The problem is that many of the artists we see here range from practiced to professional, and that's what we compare ourselves to. That said, I can't get complacent, I have to keep at it. It takes me ages to produce anything uploadable, which limits my ability to improve. Recently though, I've really cut back on layer usage, and I think it's helped make my art more fluid. So I say go ahead, experiment with monotones, it might be really good for you. If it isn't, all you'll have lost is time.

Thanks for the encouragement. ^^

I'm not sure it's too dark or enough, but it's good drawing

Thanks, I figured too dark was better than too bright for the mood I was going for. ^^

Thank you, much appreciated!

And that is an awesome group, I'd be happy to join, only it says that requests are closed. At any rate, I've favourited a number of deviations from the gallery.

Thanks, I'm glad I was able to avoid a cyan mech.

Funny how some of the best work we do comes to us out of the blue....

True that. And the inverse is also true; when I really try, I just get frustrated and do something else.

Yep. If it turns into a job, you just start to slog through it and its' no fun.
