    I don't know if this forum is the right place to post things like this, but I'm doing it anyway :P. I'll only post one image, since I don't want to post too many pictures if it isn't even allowed. Tell me what you think of them, and if this forum is the right place to post those I'll probably post more.
    1.Hir'eek the Bat (he's an actual Loa of WoW lore, there are some I made up :D)

    I tell you that the other ones are waaay better cause this is the first I made....

    I'm pretty sure I posted art once and never got a reply, but I did get other people posting art on that thread >_< ...I don't know, I guess I just looked at the thread but I didn't know of anything to say... it's nice, it's just not that in depth, meaning I think you put time into it, but it looks a bit like a doodle (I know that can be insulting to say in the art community, but I'm stating that simply and without malice) I personally prefer things that either are or look like they were done with traditional materials, and things that have ore color or emotion to them. I know that would have been a lot to say if I was speaking rather than typing, so I hope you feel less ignored now and will go on to make some more art -- Also, try getting a tablet and OpenCanvas 4.5, while I know a table costs money that not everyone has, it can make art a bit less frustrating... OpenCanvas is easily obtainable for free and is used by many artists and is often compared to Photoshop CS3 and CS4 for it's versatile and original tools... OpenCanvas is also compatible [and meant to be used] with pressure sensitive tablets, so it makes the experience that much easier and more enjoyable.

    *pants lightly* I hope that helps.

    To be honest, I didn't draw this myself, as I can't draw (yet!). I just used wowmodelviewer and PhotoFiltre (I started to use Photo Pos Pro a while ago). Actually I'm kind of pleased with Photo Pos Pro right now and I don't want to look into another, for me, complicated program, but I'll look at it some other time. I wasn't insulted by your post in any way, in fact this was about the first critism I got about my art. As I said before, this one was the first one I made (and I REALLY put time into it, some hours lol), so the other ones are really better, like this for example:

    (That's Jian'ky, a Loa from the German WoW Roleplay wiki)
    And btw what's the meaning of this "BreadnButtah"?

    Brandon needs money, and with few of us remembering to buy the albums he has put out (to be honest I haven't bought a t-shirt of his in years) he has to put a very nicely subtle advertisement on each thread... Whatever amount of money this nets him is well deserved...

    And as for the picture in your signature, it's very nice... I love big cats and the colors contrast quite well...

    Very interesting use of the signature feature... I approve of it and all user art it welcome here, from what I've come to understand.

    The first one is pretty cool, and I love the one in your signiture. I don't really like the black and white too much, I guess I miss the contrast of the colors.

    So you just use various photoshop like programs to do those and edit around with various filters/settings? I'm curious as to how much of those you actually did, like if you did the image and the colors or just the colors. Not sure how to ask that as I've never really done too much in photoshop programs (one day I'd like to figure it out so I can make my artwork be computer drawn as well as hand drawn).

    I make a screenshot in wowmodelviewer and edit it with photopospro. Usually I have to make an outline around the whole animal in the picture (which takes a long time to do) and then add some glowing effects, and it's not that easy to figure the right color, blur and amount of glow out for each of them. If you add a specific glowing effect, the picture will get black and you have to choose a color for the glow, the depht, the amount of glow and so on. Here's Shirvallah, the tiger again:

    and a new one, Bethekk the Panther:

    (I'm not really pleased with this one....)

    I'm confused as to the nature of these, are they from Model viewer?

    I already wrote how I made these, but I can easily repeat myself :D. First I make a screenshot of an animal in wowmodelviewer and then I edit them (read how above).
    So yes, they are kinda from Model Viewer.

    Oh I'm sorry, I must not have seen that post, bear with me. While I'm typing these I'm rather tired. I'm afraid I haven't been getting very much sleep, as I've been getting ready for Basic Training.

    Well I'll just post MOAR :D
    The most frightening art I ever made was without a doubt this guy here:

    That's Chu'kay, the grinning dog. He comes from the German WoW Roleplay wiki.

    Oh gosh that one is creepy!

    That's really cool that you make those, I don't think I would have the paitence to do an outline, the other parts sound like fun though.

    I like them, they're very cool and interesting art works. Might have to try that out myself sometime and see what cool things I can come up with. You might start a new fad. :P

    A new fad you say.......Nah. I'll keep this style just until I've posted all of them on this forum. Here we go:

    Hakkar the windserpent, aka the Soulflayer, which we all know and love.

    Baby Hakkar? I do not recall Hakkar being able to fly, I do however recall him being a p.i.t.a. to kill.

    Hakkar is a windserpent loa, so of course his able to fly. His form in World of Warcraft is only his avatar, but my arts show the loa in their animal forms, not their avatars.

    Since all of those Loa artworks are pretty similar, I'll post the rest in one go (some of the Loa were just made up by me, but I think they fit well):

    Hethiss the Serpent (real Loa)

    Shadra the Spider (real Loa)

    Makkamati the Crocodile (made up)

    Ka'sizo the Crab (made up)

    Malukazze the Basilisk (made up)

    La'kishi the Piranha (made up)

    Ja'uri the Parrot (made up)
    The made up names were all derived from haitian and african words that had anything to do with the animal, looked up with google translator :D. Tell me if you have problems with viewing the full pictures, I will post them in smaller resolutions then. The good thing for me about those arts was that I used a lot of different colors (usually my favorite colors are black and red combined, like Hi'reeks art). I even have some attributes about those made up Loa in my mind, but I don't want to spam the whole time....

    *LET GO* (no idea if I understood the word "glomp" right)
    Yeah, the Basilisk is one of my favourites.
    More kitties........hmmm......

    I know it's a bit unclean, but it just took so much nerves until I got it right. It's Shirvallah in his Avatar form.
    I still have the old version of Chu'kay, so I'll post it :D

    Yeah, glomp is a term that I believe originated out of anime or anime communities... It means to give someone a very powerful hug, and in some cases will tackle the receiver to the ground.

    The avatar of Shirvallah is absolutely my favorite boss... Though I asked for more kitties, that was even better ^_^
