Sitting in a circle BB pulls up his chair looking very uncomfy to say the least. Finally he sighs and makes himself known.

"Hey guys I gotta confession."BattleBlaze scratches his chin. The entire room shifts their position so they're facing him. Beads of sweat form on his forehead. "I'm really really into Teen Titans these days and now I'm kinda.. uh..uh..."

"A what!?" BB didn't see who said it. But he got the message and hurried up.

"A Raven fanboy." He said in one rushed breath. The crowd gave him an odd look. Even in the world of nerds BB was damn geeky. The crowd simply stopped trying and went back to their conversation on hentai.

I moved the mouth up a bit. The cloack kind a looks potatie sack like :/ . Her ear is a bit small for some people. Eyes and eyebrows are still uneven. No, no, no...

On the bright side I think this is one of my "cleanest" scanned & colored yet.

If you must use texture filters on clothing, at least add some displacement mapping.

EDIT:
Oh, and setting your lineart layer to multiply will fix the white AA errors

Anti-aliasing, I think. It's a pretty common art form abbreviation, I'm surprised you haven't seen it before.

Displacement maps basically give the appearance of wrapping a texture to a 3D form. Very useful for rendering clothing folds. As it is, the texture is flat and that makes the torso look flat. See?

I'm assuming you used layers, yes? when you cut out the line art, your paint program tried to Anti-Alias it to a white background, resulting in the white pixels around the lines. Come to think of it, the same thing would happen if you used a fill tool within one layer. Anyway, there are several methods to avoid this, but I think the most effective (and ironically, the simplest) is to change the layer mode to "multiply" and paint UNDER it. This is especially useful if your lineart is greyscale rather than just black and white.

If you post the lineart I can do a quick color to show you what I mean.

Something is grotesquely wrong with her mouth, but I can't put my finger on what.

I like her mouth :/ . Its just a rounded triangle and I rounded the top right part of he rmouth becase her head is slightly tilted.

I like the colors ^^, and I also think maybe a little shine to Star's hair, (since she's a girly girl and all) she needs a little razzle dazzle. (personally I stopped watching teen titans about half a year ago) But, good for you, I won't mock you since I'm also a "geek" as you call it, I mean, I like *coughs* um well... Oookay...

I like Card captors... *shifty eyes* you didn't hear it from me!

That's true I dunno why I put a shine on Raven's and not stars Rolling Eyes

You should've kept watching it season 5 was awzom and Terra's back now. And now I'm in the campaign to save season 6.

Lol, I watched it that far but thats it no more, I mean, eh *shrugs* It's not for me anymore, I've pasted on... but I'd like to see the Star picture with shine... and Robin... which puzzles me why theres a Robin but no BAtman since robin came after batman... hmmmm this causes some serious thinking on my part.
