Description
This is a collage of all the icons I have done up to date that go to the winners of my furbid auction. I still have a few to do so this collage may well be updated. These are the finished ones thus far. My technique in coloring and shading kinda seemed to evolve as I did these and probably will still evolve. I may do this auction again sometime in the future, but I will definetly do things a little different...just too much work XD.Anyway this shows a little variety and I got the chance to try drawing a buncha animals I don't usually draw, which was definetly nice and helped push me to build my skill. I am always up for a challenge, so any critter folks want me to draw I am more than happy to tackle!

He looks great! You did a fine job on him! I'm sure anyone would be able to tell he is a Tasmanian Devil.
Well, if you're alright with it, I'll take a full image of him with a minimal background. The only thing to remember is he's short. hehe
As you know, I'm not picky on what he can be doing. He can be holding his old gun or sword, or just standing there if you want. Do whatever you think would be neat and fun for you to do!
E-mail, just in case: Wicked_creatures@yahoo.com
And thank you again!

This is a very excellent collage of handmade icons Balaa. I do have to say that the green gyphon is my favorite, sha just seems to pop out at me (in an artistic and postive way).

I think =SnowTigerCub has a tutorial on gradient shading, although it's not exactly the same as balaa's technique. But it still shows the basics, I think ^^

The Tazmanian Devil is my favourite, though they're all so damn good it's hard to be certain as every time I look I see something different in one of the others!
