I like it with the slightly smudged look, it makes the 'fades' part of the title more relevant. Nice drawing

Thank you very much!
I too liked the smudgey bits I think it gives it a bit more character I only wish I had faded the gradient out a bit more is all.

i love how you made the arms look like they're cracked and how stuff is smoking away... that is really cool

Thank you I'm glad you like it, I'll admit I wish I had spent more time doing different shades and smoothing out the smoke but hey if someone likes it I cant have done to bad

I'm glad you like it, I'm working on some alternatives of this that will hopefully be up soon and hopefully with much better scans because some of the shading didnt really replicate well wehn i uploaded it.

yeah gradient tones dont scan very well. i would take a picture of it. it works a lot better because the zoom is further out so the resolution can handle such detail as the gradients. -shrug- just a thought.

I love this concept!
I actually don't mind the thick/dark lines that some of the others have mentioned, and the only part that seems too smudgy or out of place to me would be the dust part. Though, I think it would be really simple to fix. I would just make some of the dust particles more defined or even some of the lines in the smoke.
Again, love this!

Thank ya kindly!!
I was entertaining the ide of completely re-doing the picture from scratch so that i could make things smoother and neater and over all more natural looking. Usually when i do a drawing its completely on the fly without any pre sketches......anyway I'm babbling
Once again thank you for the advice

I think it would be interesting to see you re-do it, although I wouldnt necc redo this exact pic... maybe change the position up a bit? I hate the idea of re-doing something so wonderful, even if it is just a quick sketch.

Ooops soz for the late reply....if i could figure out how to use the emoticons I'd put the shame 1 up.
I'm actually working on a few versions of this in different view and stages of deteriations so hopefully something good will come out of it.
Thank you again for the kind comments

I love the little ideas that pop in when your not thinking about anythng in particular.

yeah my pics start out as one thing and end p somthing completely different

I reeeally like this concept, and the way the hands are dissolving is just about my favorite thing *3*
for helpful critique, some of the lines seem a bit dark or thick in places where they need to be softer. I mostly notice this where the wrists are cracking. I can't help but think the cracks should be a bit more... delicate looking, but then that is just my opinion >>;
But really, this is a really cool concept, your creativity is awesome~~ o3o

As for the darker lines it's something I'm trying to develop, I have the habit of feeling that every line needs to be defined and eventually I want to be able to let the shading alone define the details.
Again thank you very much for the advice

Oh my! Very dramatic sketch! It's a good piece of work!

Thank you!!! Whats a sketch without a little drama?

Cool, but the drawing could be more "clear". Still good work
First comment ^^

Thank you!!
If by 'clear' you mean more detail to clarify what it is exactly your looking at, its something that I've a ways to go with but am slowly getting there.
If by 'clear' you mean the actual quality of the picture the simple answer is I uber suck with technology and have no idea how to adjust my scanner so it darkens areas more than it should and some of the shading gets lost in translation.
So over all 1) Thank you for the advice
2) I've a looooong way to go technique wise
3) I'm a complete Technophobe
