Thanks thats means a lot from an artist of your standard!! I've done a little basic comic colouring from time to time on personal commissions but that was my first go at digital paints. haha, I've still go a loooong way to go before i get anywhere near your level but will have fun learning :)
Maybe I was being unrealistic with how long i thought it would take me... Id be interested to know roughly how long you spend on your artwork??

Seriously, this is really really good. You've already got great coloring and detailing, just keep going! I'll be watching you from now on, excited to see where you go with art:nod: You've got skills for sure! Ah, when I go for a bit more realistic look, it can take days. Usually a bigger piece, full body or such, take more than 25 hours, but it all depends on the level of detail, of course. Really, there's no limit to how much time I can spend on a piece, the goal is to be satisfied, and for me that can take... a looong time. Don't know how much help that babbling was. Guess I'm trying to say is: realism takes a long time to get right, unfortunately. But then, I'm also a slow painter.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate the encouragement and advice! I think I’m just going to take as much time as I need to make sure it comes out how I want it to and hope I speed up as I learn more. I look forward to seeing more of your work too... I find art like this really inspirational and a good marker for where I’d like to be one day.
Cheers!
