I love prismas - they're my favorite media to work in. Unfortunately, they can get pretty spendy and sometimes they don't last that long. Usually just a few of them dry out on me at a time and I can gradually rotate the replacements in, but I just this week have had nealy all of my prismas die out at the exact same time. It's going to cost soooooooooo much money to replace them all at once.

The paper is key. You need a non-porous semi-gloss paper, so the ink sits on the surface when it dries rather than soaking in. I don't even use the blender, you can just blend one color to another and overlap colors to mix... I'll give you some tips sometime.

Oh, and if your coloring line art, don't try to do it on the original B&W inks, because the markers will cause the black to bleed/smear/fade etc. Instead, photocopy the line art onto that heavy smooth/semi-gloss paper first and use the copy. That way the line work stays clean and crisp and if you F up the colors you can just make another copy and try again.

can i take the grey one with teeth home with me?
I like how you reflected the colors from the robe off the monsters and into the flames as well. What impresses me the most is that even though they're all "monsters" per say, they each have a different expression/character to them; like I can completely want the grey one with teeth as my personal closet monster, but I'd freak out if I ever met the green one behind it. does that make any sort of sense at all?

Yes, you make sense just fine, and thank you. I'd certainly let you take the grey one with teeth home with you, but unfortunately he seems to be stuck to the paper I drew him on. None of the daemons have names yet, so you're welcome to name him if that's any consolation.

lol I shall name him Snoogums and I'll cut him out of your picture so that he may guard my closet space against the ever curious and encroaching sibling-who-shall-not-be-named.

Thanks... but don't die, seriously. That's too much.

Cool a nice piece with a great mix and variety in the designs of the characters, I particularly like the mean looking one with the razor sharp teeth at the front. Great colour use throughout especially on the main character and his cape. It's good to see that you use traditional mediums, I'm a sucker for them myself and although I'm about to start branching into digital I'll never swap the brush for the mouse.
Great work again

Thanks for the hearty comments. It's always nice to get feedback that's more in depth than "that's cool" (Although, those are appreciated too).

Well Mr Weevil looks pretty cool in this one too! Great colour work mate - I particularly like the effort you've made with his cloak and with the fiery background. And what a great mix of ideas you've got in the creatures behind him - very original, which is something of a rarity nowadays. Nice one!

Thank you. I particularly like the effort you make in giving detailed comments.

Wow this is really awesome! You should be a comic artist. Try getting comissions for people on the forums! You're really good!

Thank you. I'm glad it ranks some coolness from others, cause I kind of like it myself - more than I thought I would. I was actually rather surprized at how well it came out.
