Thread design: I actually tried to draw something out but didnt like it so just kept on trying to come up with ideas I can do whilst taking smoke breaks. Eventually I thought of doing an earth-like thread design going from sky - magma and everything in between but that was chaotic. Esp. in the sense that this allows me to draw reader's focus on the each layer of text-boxes and visual areas like icebergs and lava without too much to absorb & also occams razor.
I made the thread design myself yes. The iceberg, water, fire and lava vectors are not mine. Once I save up around £200 I'm going to buy a reliable tablet and start vector/illustration (hopefully soon).
Yes I'm on Sythe, R-S, R-S, HF, MPGH and a lot of other communities too. I need to delete some as I'm getting too much work and can't maintain the quality if I have to rush. I just saw your thread and dude I gotto say your anime-cartoon style of work is phenomenal. I love em! I'm pretty sure you'd get decent work from here too if you start doing more clan/pvp related illustrations/vector work too. Pixel art here is very valued esp. for clan banners.
