Ok people, I get it now. I know what criticism is; it's just that (as I previously stated) it is often hard to convey tone, emotion, and what you truly mean and feel through text alone. As a result, I simply took what he said the wrong way, even though he didn't mean it like that. Entirely my own fault, I know.
As for the drawing, yes, it does kinda suck, but really it was just more of an experiment than anything. I was trying for that grungy, worn look, and I evidently failed at this. I am currently recoloring the whole thing so it'll be only solid colors, and look neater in general.
Please, don't think I'm taking your criticism the wrong way. You having criticized my work is the main reason I'm going over it again anyway. And all in all, I know I can do better, so bear with my ineptness a bit longer and watch me (attempt to) improve. :)
Wow, I just can't seem to type up something and make it short... :/
If you don't have a tablet and still want to draw by hand/color with the computer, then draw it with pencil or pen or something and then trace over it or do a selection and fill in photoshop and have all of your linework be on one transparent layer. That's the best way I can think of to do it.
Not criticizing that drawing at this point, just giving you a suggestion of how to get around not having a drawing tablet.
I like how everyone ignored this, This is really nice.
