# Two things, Barry Berndes.
Been trying to get back into drawing after a hiatus of a couple of months. So I drew Silrathus the demon, having dispatched a n00b demon-slayer.

CFB (200kb)

And here's some graffiti I found at the abandoned motorway junction at Tipner.

CFReadable (95kb)

'Ning!

# What is the story behind the top image?

# As in why did I want to draw it, or as in what's going on in it?
If the latter: the demon's just killed some demon-slayer/paladin type, and that's the dude's sword, shield and helm strewn around. The demon's playing with the man's skull.

If the former: I just like demons.

fair enough.

It's good that, I like your Demon. But you know me, not quick with the compliments.

# I was wondering when you'd post here again.
I'd beef up the outlines around the legs/tail. It looks a little busy around that area now. Other than that, spot on.

# I always wonder if giving out suggestions here is the right thing to do
it's B3ta after all and not drawingtips.com

I personally never bother polishinjg the edges of things that I post here and enjoy the fact that it's about the idea or the joke not the execution which is obviously the reverse in my day job (.... as an executioner)

# I'm happy to get criticism
and I usually give it if I have something useful to say. If the other person doesn't like it they don't have to heed my words.

Tips are normally taken the right way here, I'm always happy to receive them.

# There's a different between criticism and a helping pointer. I'd be happy that someone took the time out to suggest a change, rather than getting a 'woo' or some tiresome, and meaningless, shit like that.

# I don't like the attitude of

I'd assume most people post things for the enjoyment of others, and if there is constructive criticism then I'm sure it's appreciated.

its a bit off to say, that would be funnier if....

# Humour isn't really something that can be improved upon in the same way as technique

# I disagree
but wouldn't tell someone they aren't as funny as they can be as it crushes what they have done which is horrible (especially as all humour is subjective).

# I'm sure it can be improved upon,
but not as simply or as obviously as 'shopping technique.
Also, as you say it's more objective, so you can say 'if you add this it'll be smoother/more realistic' or whatever.

/edit: I've always liked clear-lined drawings with lots of detail. And also demons.

also, I can tell from a fairly reliable source that 'roy is a fart' means 'I love you' in Dutch
