OHMYGOSH! This is so freaking cool! I love it!
Wow that turned out really nicely! Cool character ^^ Corel painter huh? I haven't had a chance to play around with that before. But it came out just wonderful, so it must be a good program! Either that or you're just really talented ^_~

Oh cool. I like the marker/watercolor effect it has. Sort of reminds me of 70s/80s cartoons. ^^
Nicely done, Rah - I like your take on Shao's character.

That is a seriously sweet looking sketch! I love the fine line work and the strong sense of movement, plus the flat colours are working really nicely. The eyes and the face are especially intense.
Was the line drawing itself done digitally? I always find that my attempts at digital outlining are kinda shaky, but this looks quite controlled. It could be my tablet settings, oooor my daily coffee intake

Thanks, Shao, I hoped you would. 
I referenced your pictures heavily for the costume details but there's still some little bits missing. If I get around to finishing this properly I hope to put them in then. Oh, and his hair is blue so that I can use that as a midtone when I shade it heavily later.

He is a very fun character to draw - especially the costume details. They were fantastic to mess about with. Thanks, Felix! 
Nope, I think all the talent and skill in this picture comes from Painter. Because computers can draw for you.
Haha I have run into people who seem to believe that! How about you? I've been finding Corel fun (what little I've used of it.. this picture is all I've done with it for thus far) but it hogs a lot of processing power and runs slow on my laptop. Photoshop runs faster and responds to my stylus better (that might just be something I have to set up in Painter though) but Painter has some LOVELY textures and brushes so they're both good to use, I think.

That'd be sweet. His hair is black, but really shiny XD
Not to mention he has more than one set of clothes, so you can do whatever, lol.

Ha, I didn't see that before. Now you've said it I can see the similarities. XD Thanks Sara - this ten sketch meme is pretty fun. ^^

 reports, 1d 3h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

Shao's drawings of Mesullam are usually very intense and have impact, so I think that may have come accross in this fanart haha (at least I hope it has
Yep, the linework for this was done digitally from start to finish, as was the colour. I find linework one of the hardest parts of a picture, and my lines can get shaky too. I also drink a fair bit off coffee, so I hope that doesn't make it worse.
Hmmm... I think what helps me is working on large pictures that I can shrink down later, and zooming right in when I do the lines. I usually darken and clean up the lines a couple of times too. I'd guess that's something you'd do as well, though. Have you tested things out in your tablet utilities? I think you can adjust the stylus sensitivity there.
