Well, hand drawing is definitely NOT my strong point… but I thought I would actually give it a shot. If someone doesn’t realize I just suck at drawing, some of these might be able to pass for a “style.” (well, I was trying for a style, but still…) I’m thinking of maybe making some “toons” with him, flash based probably… pending name is Darkling. I frequent the D&D forum, but never really post anything I’ve made, so heres my first. I just drew these up in my “Communications 101” class (so these obviously are by no means “final” scetches or even halfway final), what a bore. my teacher walked by and said “that is weird” and just kept walking. lol. 😃 ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/370/70b674b74c421c71.jpg) ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/371/816a4fca2c2a9ab4.jpg) ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/372/2355f9262bad60cf.jpg) [http://www.dujodu.com/darkling/darkling4.jpg](http://www.dujodu.com/darkling/darkling4.jpg) edit: btw, thanks Egeek for making me want to draw with a pencil (err… pen) again. ---

the one thing i really like is the 4th pic; the black area with the teeth in it; the contrast looks really good there… ---

the 4th pic is the first one I drew. I think I like the way he looks in the first pic better (without the wings and the halo - I have no clue why I added those.) I’m hoping I can make him look a lot better digitized, but I’ll probably keep the hand drawn look… if you know what I mean. ---

excelent… I was thinking if I persue an online toon idea with it, the one with him hanging could make for a kind of cool navigation. Hopefully with some good actionscripting for the physics, but I don’t know if I would be able to pull it off. that and I have no idea what direction I would go with the toon idea. ---

Nice sketches! Dunno why, I just felt like doing a doodle of your character. I like the whole, leaving / rocking on his feet thing. Hope you don’t mind. ![](http://www.hiylea.com/darkling.gif) ---

whats your name and address? my lawyer will be contacting you soon. haha, just kidding of course. Yeah, the unrealistic bending will definitely be part of the whole thing, if I ever develop it further. nice sketch, i like the expression on his face, heh. ---

Hehe 🙂 I think you should develop him more. I think it’s really satisfying having your own characters. Let us know how things go with the cartoon idea. ---

I had some cool ideas for flash animations, the problem is actually making them, heh. I’ll definitely post more if I do it though. that dino suit guy in your footer is pretty funny. ---

hehe, the dino suit guy was just a one off drawing. I was doodling, and saying it was for my project. I’m making a flash cartoon website, but I’m so busy with uni stuff that it’s coming on very slowly, but some time, hopefully I’ll have something to show.
