Hello,
My name is Paul-John Novak, Jr. and I am a traditional/digital amatuer comic creator. My original comics universe is called Coolstar Comics. It started out way back in 1992 when I was in middle school with the creation of my first team of heroes, the "Super-Mutant Nine" made out of my love for characters such as the "TMNT" and "X-Men" at the time. From there I began creating my own comics and more and more characters until at this point in time I have a universe of over 1,000 characters to work with. I didn't start actively sharing these creations until around 2010 though as I did not have the means to do so due to time, money and technological constraints. But, now that I am able to do so, I have begun creating character bios for all of the characters that I have created and have been slowly working on finishing a comic called "Unlimited Evil" that I started as my first serious attempt at a webcomic to share with the world. Renderosity is just one of many places that I post my art to, and although it is not as organized as many of the others, I enjoy the extra exposure that it affords me all the same. Thanks for visiting my gallery here and I hope that you enjoy my work. If you would like to see my galleries on other sites please check out the links below.

Nice job!!! Not sure I'd like this babe scratching my back, though! Keep a little better track of your shadows. The shadows on the girl are opposite the shadows on the tree behind her. Try varying the tonal quality of your pieces so they aren't quite so flat. ...unless that's what you're shooting for. Then it's great!!! :)

Go to DigitalArtTutorials.com Brian Haberlin's site and there are a couple of free tutorials that might help you out. The tutorials you pay for are amazing and very helpful. ...but Free is really good!!! :)

Thanks for the link for the tutorials. I'll check it out. I just use PS filters for the shadows and can never seem to get them to go in different directions, they always link to go in the same way. I'm not really good at doing tonal variations, so yeah, I just leave my coloring mostly flat with some textures to make things pop that way. It works for me. :-)

Just updated it with better shadows, as I figured out how to change the angles in the layers and added in some inner shadows as well as drop shadows to improve it so that it doesn't look as "flat" and a bit more "natural" even though it's still a cartoon image. :-)
