Thank you for the coments and tips, Syd and Em. I'm usually too chicken to add shading to my pics in case I mess them up! I'll see if I can find some good pics with shading to use as bases until I'm more confident.
Here are three more piccies. As before, you need to copy and paste the urls into the address bar. Tom did give me some code to enable me to directly display Brinkster pics on places like this board, but I don't think I'll use it, as many of my pics are quite big and would cause serious slowdown. Some would cause side-scrolling as well, which is just about the most irritating thing you can find in a board post.
Dune Cat... in colour! Wheee!
They're even lovelier in colour! I really am proud of this piccy. It took around an hour to colour in with coloured pencils and oil pastels. It's nearly 200kb in size, so it'll take at least a minute for all of it to appear. Good things come to those who wait.
Stripy Lizard
This is a colour version of the stripy lizard I posted in this topic's first post. I redrew it completely instead of just colouring the old one, because I wanted it to look more realistic; the old one looked too cartoony.
I experimented with Syd's 'edge over line' technique; normally I'd have outlined all the coloured areas, but I didn't this time, and I like how it came out. I am a little disappointed with how the scanner ate some of the colours; its back legs and the stripe running the length of its back are a subtle blue-green in the hard copy, but in this pic they're a lurid sky-blue.
I need a name for this lizard; I was thinking along the lines of [Something] Agama. I'm open to suggestions.
Sirod
This is a new creature I've invented. It lives in trees and eats nectar and the insects that are attracted to flowers. It is sometimes called the Bee Rat. It can glide like an Idiurus (a gliding mouse that Gerald Durrel describes in detail in his book The Bafut Beagles) and it has a chameleon-like tougue.
This pic isn't my best work; it's just a scientific sketch to convey what it looks like; not a flattering-it pic.
And Em, reckon it's time for another Art Exchange?
