Thank you, Scrapper !!! ^^ And all the people who gave me some
feedback.
As for colouring, alas, I don't do that at all for one good reason :
I can detect a colour problem on other's pics, but when I'm
colouring myself, I do a so AWFUL job (and it's the least I can
say), it's really an horror for the eyes. I messed a few good pics
this way...

You may have to notice something : I do NOT give out a "clean" work
like Jim's or Des' or most of the artists. Look carefully : my lines
are not continuous, it's more like an "inked rough". This kind of
style I got is VERY fast to display, add to this it's been thirty
years now I practice drawing as an amateur, and you'll understand
how it is it takes me so few time. I did some "clean" work for some
purpose a couple of times, and I can tell you it demanded me MUCH,
much effort and time. Effort that usually bores me and makes me
loose interest in what I'm doing rapidly, this is why I do this VERY
exceptionnally.

Anyway, those vehicles, like the characters, are purely fictionnal,
so in this dreamt world there is no reason a quad could go faster
than a sport bike ! Mmmmh, I hope for Lori that the laws of physics
aren't the same also, or she's going to get into SERIOUS trouble
when reaching 50mph !! Well, considering SHE is already a serious
violation of physics laws herself (at least a part of her anatomy,
just like the Ups and Downs...)... ^^

Heh heeeeeh, seems seems there are quite some similarities in our
respective ideas... :D

Let's say they REALLY know what they want and what they don't as
they are gaining age and experience... ^^

My, another project involving me... ^^'' Well, I certainly
don't say no !!! Just need to get well-detailed scenes, and a lot of
patience for my inspiration to pop out... You can mail me
personnally also if you want for this (ceoazt (at) yahoo.fr).
