sorry, it's at freeservers (damn them!) so you might have to drag and drop/cut and paste. =)

in answer to those crits...
Bugsy! Yeah, I admit the cell shading is shaky round the edges in places. XD I coloured it all in about 5 hours today, and that included fixing the line art after scanning, which took at least 2 hours on its own. XD I'm so useless.
But I'm working with a mouse, so... that's the reason for the shaky. =) And I didn't use the polygonal lasso tool at all... I experimented a bit with it for the background (post colouring) and decided I hated it and it was evil. XD I just made a great big fuckoff custom airbrush with hard edges and did a lot of swipey. XD

Angelo! I did the spiky edged shadows because I had a couple of reference pictures (mainly for colours and stuff). Jet Set Radio is all cell shaded (in the game) and has all these hard edged shadows. All the characters are kinda angular, so I thought I'd have a bit of that influence.
how d'ya think the spray can looks weird, exactly? the shape was also partially nicked from reference pictures (I have this great book, 1000 greatest game characters, it has MASSES of great illustrations in!) so I kinda stand by it's angularness. XD

yeah, so! anymore for anymore? XD

actually, did the whole 24 hour comic thingy on sunday/monday... XD that was mad. but I think it helped no end with my drawing. more angular style is definately my thing, expect to be seeing much more of that i the near future.

Angelo - yeah, he loved it! (yay!) I was very flattered. =) He made me the best 21st birthday card, too! I'll link to it asap... it seriously rocks! it's the best birthday card I EVER got, bar none! XD it's SO GLORIOUS!
