Something I Call Faux-Vectors

Justin:
really cool stuff man :)

kid_militia:
pretty cool stuff. If I have one critique, its your method. If you're using this style with the pen tool, why not use illustrator and utilize vectors? Or if you're going to use photoshop, why not save yourself some time and nerves and just use the paintbrush with the same cut-down style/palette? In my opinion, one of those two things would give you more for your effort.

beckrokk:
Thank you for your opinions.

However, I do not have the patience to use the brush throughout the making of these things. If anything, the pen tool makes things easier because it allows for precise curves and the Fill option is a dream come true. While I do have Illustrator, I've only opened it twice by accident. I'm sure it has vectoring options like you mentioned, but where's the fun and creativity in it if you can click your mouse once or twice and have what I have? I actually like doing things the hard way because it strengthens my abilities with the tools at hand and it gives me time to enjoy my music while I work.

But thank you all the same. Maybe one day I'll see what Illustrator is all about.

Tenjou:
Very nice work!  I use what you call "faux-vectors" quite a bit so I know what goes into them.  The fact that it can take sometimes upwards of fifteen hours to complete a single image makes it all the more rewarding, though.

Cave Monster:
You mentioned a Flash class. I think that Flash is an amazing, simple tool for vector work. If I were you, my next step might be to try working without the photoreference, Your color sense is great, you have amazing patience. Try a still life, I'd love to see it.
