Dash the Echidna -Colored-

Them flames are amazing cool, when zoomed in they look great, as is the background. I see what you mean about the linework not being crisp, but its only because you use pencil and don't ink. I use the 'Posterize' filter in Photoshop to make them all ink-like, maybe that will work too!

One small critique (though the pic was so cool it was hard to find a complaint) is the light source seems to change a lot. The body has light on (our) left, but the staff, stomach, gloves, and skin have it on the opposite side. Quick tip: Draw an arrow or a sun or something up in the corner where the light is coming from. It helps me to remember, I now do it myself ^o^

Please don't take the crit hard, it sounds know-it-all-ish but its just me wanting to help people
