Yes, Antonio is correct; as by popular vote, only
Skunkworks and associated character fan art (including By
The Tail, Corsair, Caterwaul and any other characters by
Des or Jim) is permitted here. I've left it up for a
little while so that those who may want to comment can have
a chance to do so, or whatever.

Probably better than my first pic (that was actually
inspired by JMH and can be found on the Skunkworks fan art
page!

Strongly agree with Antonio here; there are a few 'up and
coming' artists on this group who can give pointers (off
group even, if you want to discuss non-Skunkworks material)
and those who have done Tokes / my structuring exercises
seem to agree they help beginners. (By the way, I owe a few
people mail / reviews - I haven't forgotten!)

Take heart that you've taken the first step and had a go.
Now take the next step and have another go; seek help and
advice that will start you on the road to where you want to
get. You're never too old to start, as Chris (Foxx) Yost
and myself can both vouch for (being new artists of the
more grown up age group *ahem*) and the journey is
definitely fun as JMH, Des and anyone else who draws can
verify.

Yes, scratches behind the ears for having a go, but please
keep posts to the group on-topic. :-)
Scrapper, Black Dragon, still watching even if he has been
quiet recently!
PS, if parts on your car look like they _may_ need work,
even if they are working at the moment, get them fixed
before you set out on a 1500 mile journey. That way you
won't have to spend 8 hours changing them on the side of
the road in a remote location. Just my tip for the week,
learnt the hard way... S,BD.
