Well, here it is anyways.

-Work on making your lines a little more smooth and more realistic. They look like random freehand squiggles.

-Don't color them in. If you do want to color them in, have it done with a better program. Or, do them on paper and use colored pencils. Then just scan the image.

-Add something unique and original that sets yours off from the rest. i.e. WC made chibies.


Additional Tip:

-Don't charge credits. Just say donations greatly appreciated. It doesn't force people to pay one amount and allows them to be generous with the pay.

It's hard to draw lines when you're using a mouse in my opinion. The program I use is Flash MX, and what I do is get the picture, save it as a graphic, change it's alpha to 50%, add a new layer and draw from there. I think that's pretty unique, and anyone can do that. I'm not sure how to color better, and changing the pic to a .gif makes the colors ugly, so I don't really use shadow coloring.

I don't like the idea of scanning, which is why I did the exact same thing with my chibi pic. It appeared too light, so I made it darker, traced it, and colored it.

Ok, I will do what who_cares did and will accept donations instead of making them pay.
