Thanks!

I've always been facinated by your 'paper children'* Keens. The perspective and optical illusion aspect has always awed me

Wasn't hoping to acheive much with this one. Just wanted to redo the walking animation at the end of Megaman 2 with Keen. Used most of the same colors as my last picture.

It's really awesome, but it's also obvious you just mirrored the shading.
Try to keep the dark parts of the shirt on one side, it looks like the color is jumping around. I suggest having more than 2 hues for shading to show the lighter side of the shirt moving away without looking more extreme than the other side than it should be.

Yup. was just 2 images mirrored into 4 frames. I think I was just getting lazy I may fix the shirt later and add his wrist watch, maybe a stunner on his hip. Just has 2 shades on the shirt/shoes, but helmet/skin/pants have 3. Even just with 2, I don't think I have the shirt right yet. Also didn't do a shadow on the ground yet.

Here's an old bit of Fan-art I found from probably 2007, when I was just getting back into Keen and used to mess about with Photoshop in the college library during free periods (those were the days...).

This one is definitely January 2007 as I have the original file:

I really like the last image. It might be simpler than some, but it sure reminds me of the classic computer games.

Who still can't draw hands? I still can't draw hands!

Page and Princess Lindsey need more fanart, a mon avis.

I did this, but really, will we ever have enough of Page's sexy hat?

Heh cute. Your interpretation of the Council Page is interesting, with the pants and the tasseled hat and such.

Also, is Lindsey green? Seriously, I'm too colorblind to tell.

I was going for a grey-brown mix. Infact that's pretty much what I did, I put a layer of grey on top of a layer of brown. *Shrug* not much to it.

Thanks!

Smells like a dead garg in here.

I'm tempted to do more with Gargs... something more scary hopefully.

I liked my other Garg picture enough and wanted to do more with it. I added a yorp beside him. Trying to keep with the same art style. Hopefully I'll get around to adding a new background for it. If I where to pick keen art for a t-shirt print I'm more inclined to go with this one.

Here's the thumbnail, click for full size.
