Love seeing your process indigo (step 1 to step 2 is really interesting)... working from dark to light gives it a very nice feel.   

Gah, I keep seeing all these great linearts and shapes to fill in posted here, but can never find the time to tackle em. Curses.

Snader:
well... turned out to be the same basic head shape, but other than that they are very different (especially with leg anatomy).  see for yourself: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v169/calypson/alienani1.gi f

jegHegy:
thanks man

SedgeMonkey:
thanks alot.  yeah, step 2 was basically just a template for me to base my basic form and lighting of the alien.  Turned out okay i guess, but i think it could have been better.

to all:
just looking at it.... do ya think it should be a little lighter?

Well, I think that just depends on what you're going for, I think. I love it the way it is right now - but maybe you think that it should be lighter because of that black background? I don't know... Great piece once again Indigo!

Heh, you're working quite similar to me. I do a shilouette and then start adding highlights too and I also like yellow highlights and purple shadows.

On my CRT at work the pic does look a bit dark, but at home on the ole LCD it looks perfect.

Aaaah finally something great to look at in the WIP forum. Love the colours and how you started off with a cool sillouhette. Awesome work, only expected from you anyway.

I agree that it's a bit dark to see everything but, it looks great nonetheless. Perhaps we could see him on some light backgrounds??

Aha!  I knew it. And I have the same situation as Sedgy. When I viewed it at school on the normal PC monitors (non-LCD ) it looked quite dark but at home (on my LCD) it looks perfect.

Once again -
