Aw thanks so much! Your art is incredible, so that means a lot comming from you

Heres how I got that texture:
1.Make a new layer, and use the paint bucket to cover it entirely (the color doesn't matter)
3. Then go to where it says effects and select the noise option and hit render monochrome(or render color).
4. Next, on the layer pallet, where it says "normal" change it to "overlay" or "vivid light"( which ever you prefer, vivid is a lot like overly, just more intense)
5. Now, going back over to effects select blur, and blur the layer (I think 10 worked)
6. Duplicate the layer. Each time you duplicate it, the color swells and becomes more vibrant.
7. Repeat step six however times you'd like (I think I duplicated it quite a lot)
8. Now merge the layers back together, the layer should be very vivid and distorted now.
9. Lower the opacity (In the drawing, the opacity is set to about 15-20 I think)
10. Erase any part of the picture you don't want to be covered by the effect.

Your pictures look really good, but I would like to see a drawing from you that uses different colors, like blue or white as opposed to orange.

so many new drawings :33333333333 <3333
no time to comment on them all but believe me they're all supermegafoxyawesome!! :33 <33 ;D
for the lyrics i would've expected something more happy or so but i dunno they're so ironic and i also don't know the song xD
@Darquesse to ~Pogo~ : maybe you could do sth like drawings in all rainbow colours :333 like one focused on red, the next on orange then yellow, green blue and then violet :33 lol just my suggestion but i'd love it :3 <333 ^^ :D

Aw, thanks so much Future ^^
XD Yup Iron Maiden is British heavy metal band formed in I think '75
That's a good suggestion! I'm drawing something a lot more cartoony than what I've been doing lately, so maybe I can incorporate a new color into it.

Really nice! I love the contrast between the main figure and the background, and for some reason I love the nose!
