Looks good to me, just put it in the right section next time :P

EDIT: Perhaps you can get Gforce off my back for a while, at least till school starts!

Thats really good! How did you do that? And if its can't go here or in iHouse Rules or Fanart sections, um, where is it supposed to go?

Yeah, I was confused too. I'll put them in fanart from now on.

P.S. Is there any way to move posts?

If you're a mod, yes.

I'm trying to do one a day as practice, I'll upload them to the fanart section if they turn out ok.

Thanks, I have a 2.5 year old son so I get plenty of practice coloring LOL. I use Photoshop CS2 or Elements 3.0 (depending on my mood) and a Wacom Graphire digital pad. Oh, and a lot of patience :)

I tried coloring it different this time, took much longer, but I do seem to be getting better control of coloring with an electric pen :D

Oh, cool, any mod is more then welcome to move my coloring jobs to the fanart forum.

This is getting confusing...

But yes, I suppose if you're starting a new topic for something you made, it should go in fan art.

How did you do that?
photoshop is a good program. However, lots of people can't afford it. Some people get it illigally, I'm not telling you how!

Luckily, my dad is in the publishing business, and he works with art and figures and all that junk, so he needs the program to do his work :P. Thus, I have a copy.

For those less fortunate to not be able to get this amazing program, or thing that this program I am about to mention ahs a better interface. (I can't say anything about either, because my opinion would be biased as I have used PS for a long time and GImp was confusing because of that) then you can use The Gimp.

GOogle it... I would give you a link if I could be bothered though...

As for actual tutorials... I don't know. if you had photoshop I can tell you a way to do it. CodeCat and I have slightly different ways, but the end result is usually the same.
I use Photoshop CS2
*claps*

I don't have a graphic digital pad thingymajig. I just use the mouse. That's why I use the polygonal lasso tool, cause my hand isn't that steady :/. I would use the magnetic lasso tool but it usually misses things or selects the wrong thing etc.

The pen tool is a must for creating the whites on their muzzles though. The lasso tool would make it look too blocky.
