Haha, no I wasn't Vice President of anything. Just an active and vocal member who'd been around since the beginning. As for Ben, last we heard him and his family were doing just fine, but we haven't talked at any real length in a long time (just occasional emails). Outside of MR itself we had never really talked that much.

Thanks for the kind words too :). Always good to find fellow MRians elsewhere on the net.

Wow, I remember you from Manga Revolution!!!!! o.O

You were like the vice president there, right? Have you kept in touch with Ben (AugustC4)? :)

It is great to see you are still drawing and specially how much you're improving each time. Great to see you and your amazing stuff again. ^_^

Cheers.

is your name steve. you look like a steve....

anyway nicely done. love the hand. anyway i have to do my homework so bye

Haha, oops, guess I forgot to reply. The shirt's actually based on the shirt our buddy Tubenose made a while back with his Ninja self peeking in and the words "Love the Ninja" below it. since I wasnt showing the bottom and the words would be illegible anyway, I added a heart 

The biggest question has yet to be answered: is that an actual shirt you own?

But really, nicely done. The pic makes me think you're pondering something...

Nice style.  Nice colors.  Good job on the hand too...those are tough.

This looks good, but I think the mouth doesn't work. I don't have the slightest idea of a fix, though...

Also, it could possibly use a simple background, maybe just a patch of dark grey behind you, like a cast shadow on a wall.

Ah, I see what you mean with the jaggies. I'll get that fixed up some time. as for the Femmieness - Yeah, I get that a lot in real life too, so I must have done fairly well here Thanks for the comment/critique!

I really like how you did the hand with the pose, stylization (sp?) and shading.. and also the detail around the eye area is good.  I'm not sure what the graphic on the shirt is, but I can make out a heart and maybe a head to the left of it.  The choice of colors is good too.  The only critique I can offer is that it seems a little jaggedy in parts, such as the shoulder on the right, where the blue meets the white part.  And also the right part of the hair is somewhat lumpy/jaggedy-looking.. but that is all minor.  The other thing is, according to your info page, you are male.. my first impression was this was a female :/  Anyway, good job, nonetheless :)
