Description
Hello Everyone, long LONG time no see. I've been away (once again) from the world of art as I worked more on my career in Database administration and hobby of writing. I just recently started messing around with Illustrator (I am not an artist, I can't draw to save my life) but I have found Illustrator to be a load of fun. This is my first attempt at making a cute (maybe even NeoPet-esk) Bat critter.
I've also created a comic at my web site (www.calseeor.com), which currently has 9 pages. I lost my hard drive in November and lost everything I had created so I am on the slow road to building it back up. New posts will arrive very soon, as well as a new comic strip idea I have.
I would love to know what you all think of this simple Bat Thing. Any tips would be more than welcome as I am such a newbie at this program and drawing in general.
Thanks for looking,
--Eryk

Eryk, Welcome Back!! This is an excellent start with Illustrator. Your character is cute. Your presentation of him/her is nice. May I suggest that you emphasize your character more in relation to the words "Bat Thing". Also a slight extension to the last points on the wings (towards the outside). A slight gradual length in the last few points would give the wings a more bat like feel without changing the integrity of your character. The gradation in background works well with the colors of your bat and its style. Good to see your back. Well, I'm off to your website. talk soon KP

heheh funky lil dude. i'd check the comic strip on your site now, but i'm still living away from civilisation (i.e. i don't have a broadband connection where i am now), so it takes several centuries to load anything. i've never used illustrator, but i know people who use it and swear by it. good luck with the rest of it :)
