I need URGENT help. See my locked topic "Ideas..." My school has a poster making competition and my drawing is really good. And all of the kids forced me too, to participate in it. Then I heard about the prize, That's 6000 RS. or you can say 100$.

So, I accepted. The topic is global warming. There is another one too, I've to draw them both.
So I want really GREAT ideas what should my picture look like.

You can draw it roughly, so that I can redraw it............... If you want to. If you can draw the neat one, it would be HUGELY APPRECIATED.
thanks.
What you could do is like a soda can, with a picture of the earth on it, drifting on waves, and maybe draw seagulls overhead.

Oooh I have a question about forum headers.
What is the average size or a popular size for a regular forum header?
If you mean like a banner, maybe 700X200, or less. =x I'm not really sure. It kinda depends. Anyway, I kinda found something that COULD help you find a good size.

I need artistic opinions!

Okay, so I created my own guardian character (inspired by the Shugo Chara anime), though it still needs work.
I was wanting to know which of these pics looks best (pay attention to the right eye):

v1 v2 v3 v4

EDIT: Added v4.

... I'm going to upload a picture, and I was wondering should I put it in Imageshack, or leave a link to Deviant t, or what
Hmm, posting the Devaint Art link, I.M.O, but really, it doesn't matter what kind of link you use. ;O

But I should post a link? Is there a way just to just post it?
All you do is copy the URL or the page (of your art and such) and the paste it in a post.

Let me do my little say, 'kay? :3 Since you're asking on oppions on the eyes, I'll do that right away:
V1: Not the best, imo. =/ His eyes aren't balanced. The lines that connec the similar points in both eyes are not parallel. The right (for the picture) eye is to high.

V2:Same as ^, the right eye is still too big compared to the left eye, even regarding the angle you drew it in.

V3 and V4... Sorry to say, but can you hint me on the difference? =/

About the rest of your drawing:
I don't know the Shuro Chara anime, so all I keep thinking about is Meowth. XD
I like the way you shade, it's really smooth. I am learning to gradient shade, but it's not working too well. XD It's still a little cell-shaded.
Maybe, if it's not too much work, you could try to move his mouth more towards the left side? Somehow his face seems a little unbalanced. =/ I don't know for shure though.

Oh, and just a little question... :-/ Why don't you try giving your transformed anime-self 4 fingers? :O I've noticed the shape of the fingers in this picture is really well done. :O

Great, since I already have a sprite thread, can I post it there. Or should I make a new one?

Well, I don't suggest posting it HERE. If you mean make an art gallery here, in the Art Gallery board, why not? It kinda depends what kind of are you're posting. (Banners/photos/graphic art go to the Graphic art boards, Sprite/pixel art is .. uh .. Pixel art board, and drawings/digital drawings go to the Art Gallery board.)

The difference between V3 and V4 is the coloring of the inside of the cat ears and the shading in the mouth.
V1, V2, and V3 had brown as the inside color of the ears and didn't have very good shading in the mouth.

Yeah, If you didn't know about the Maneki Neko, the thing that Meowth was created from, it would be easy to associate other things based on it to Meowth.

Thanks, I'm glad you like the shading. However, I wish I could cell shade...

I'll try to shift over the mouth sometime while I'm home this weekend. I'm using my laptop here, but I have the full-size Maneki pic on my computer at home.

Why don't I try giving him 4 fingers, or did you mean 5? I know in the Nekoban Ryo pic he appears to have 4 fingers, but he has 5. You just can't see the pinky fingers. I'm glad you like the fingers.

Thanks for commenting!

Ah, now I see it. Thanks for telling. You said look to the eyes, so I ignored the rest. XD

A good thing to learn cell-shading is redrawing animepictures, most likely anime screenshots or anime-art related stuff. Manga-related drawings (like artwork for covers/posters made by the manga-ka) usually have little cell-shading in them. They mostly use some kind of gradient colour (markers, aquarel or other paint), so it's sometimes hard to draw the line between shade, light and highlight.
IMO, screenshots work best.

Ok. I'll look forward to it.

Well, 4 large fingers and a thumb. |D
Ah, I see. It was confusing me a little. 'Cause when a human grabs something, like stick or a sword, he usually uses all of his fingers. It gives more grip and will alow to put greater force behind the "whack". And it gives less opportunities to break ones' fingers. :B

Ah well, maybe one day you accidentally stumble on the perfect site. ^^

Ah, well, I need some criticism on this picture. For the starry background (the mountains are bad, I know) and the night colour scheme.
I'm not familiar with working with night (or any other colour scheme besides bright day light for that matter) colour schemes, but I'd love to use 'em more. =/
Spoiler:

Character is by me, his name is Akira. You can find out more about him somewhere in my deviantArt. XD
