Trying a new style:

Tell me what you think of the exaggerated height and curves:

I like your experimentation. I'd advise you to run with it, and draw as much in this alternate style as you possibly can.

That last bit read like it could easily have been sarcastic, was it?

I love it, looking at the picture is like diving into the middle of a tornado, this is such a cool variated style. Wicked :D

I've liked spinny backgrounds as of late...here's another experimental one (old drawing style, new shading style) that I submitted for Warlord Season:

I no way was sarcasm a part of my previous post. Truly, I encourage you to follow alternative ways of drawing. The reason is, an alternative style forces you to invent new ways to depict 3-dimensional space in a 2-d plane. Invention, it's true, doesn't always work out, but it's worth taking the risk. Succeed or not, it'll improve your skills.

Oh I saw that pic, its awesome. :D Cool swirls, adds alot of motion to the picture!

the first pic looks kind of wierd cause the height makes it look really really skinny, the proportions are thrown off cause of the extra height, the second one looks awsome tho, it looks like hes gonna come outta the computer and kill me like in the Ring...that would be wierd
gj, keep it up

I wasn't going for realistic, so I threw off the proportions on purpose to see how it looks. I think it appears to be snake-like so I decided to draw several more sketches in that style. I'm going to scan them in a minute or two...I'll post up the pencil sketches here, then the finished products sometime tomorrow...these take some time for me to do as I suck with CG art.

I really like that picture, like Undertow said, stay with it. I do the same thing sometimes, I tried Samwise's way of drawing and a couple other styles... all though I'm not as good at most of them anymore.

Well, I had completely forgotten about posting up the pencil sketches, so I'll just post the 4 as I finish them. Here is 1 of 4.

I like the long legs style of anime, some of the best (and I mean BEST) artwork uses the "long legs" style.

I apologize for that last post, forgot to size down the image, hehe.
Here's the downsized 2 of 4:

VERY nice foreshadowing, waiting for the next two!!

The 3rd is proving very difficult...I usually have no trouble coloring in hair, but this one is being a bitch to get right...I might change it's head.
