Here's the skinny; I need to keep practicing my art. Working on DOminus is fine and all, but sometimes, to refine yourself, you gotta take a break. Not to say I'm putting the comic on hiatus or anything, hell no. I need to challenge myself. Draw something outside my norm. Expand my horizons. Do something other than fanart, or things that look like they could kill you. Okay, I draw more than that, but nothing I can show (project stuff). So, here's where I need you. Just vote up there on what kind of picture, that I don't normally do, you'd like to see me do. I'll wait a week or two, see what wins out, draw it, and perhaps ask again with different choices. Makes for a good exercize, y'know?

Alrighty, then! Get to voting! And don't just think of what would be cool to see, think of what you think would be a good challenge for me!

I voted before reading your post.

I didn't read the part where you mentioned challenge over preference. So at first I said horror.

Now I'm saying do something that'll "Make the fangirls swoon!"

You do some really realistic stuff a lot. I wouldn't mind seeing something more cartoony from you. Maybe something along the lines of One Piece, or something original?

Shmeckie's style is closer to cartoony than realistic. It's comic book style.

How about some trippy optical illusion shit? M.C. Escher style.

Edit: Wait, perhaps do something as realistic as you can that you're not used to drawing, like a horse or a dinosaur or something. I think I've only ever seen people from you, aside from Sonic and Butterman stuff.

Well maybe I didn't mean that he doesn't cartoony stuff a lot. I meant something along the lines of less detail. He does put a lot of detail into his artwork.

Everything I see from you looks like it would kick my ass. Do something sweet and innocent.

Oh, I thought of another one.

I would like to see you attempt to accurately draw a celebrity. Someone whose face we will recognize, just to practice up on drawing distinctly different facial structures. Maybe do a few of these, actually. Michael Jordan, George W. Bush, Christopher Walken, Ichiro Suzuki, etc. Alternatively/in addition, a caricature would be something different.

For now, I'm sticking to what's on the poll. BUT, that's not to say I'm brushing off suggestions for replacement options. Far from it! When one of these options win, and I do the pic, I'll most likely fill the next poll with suggestions given here. Just getting that out there.

Oh you might put suggestions up there next poll?

Well, I'd love to see a drawing of the scene where Neo's fighting with Smith at the end of Revolution.

I guess I don't see your poll options as that big of a challenge for you, but I'll reserve judgment until I see what you produce out of this.

These are all things I feel I need practice on, or things that will offer a challenge. Besides, if I added anything to the poll now, there's only a slim chance it would win.

Marvelous! I'll get on it as soon as the newest Dominus page is done!

In case you may be wondering why that option was put up there, well, it's simple; much of what I draw tends to be rather cold. I need to branch out, and draw a wider variety of moods. So, what better way to do that than draw something that's virtually the polar opposite of what I usually draw?
