The eight PaperDemon in my PaperDemon series. Haven't done one in a while. Anyway I used this for the latest site design. I think the parts I like most are the colors for the hair and skin and some of the subtle color changes in the green and white parts of his clothing. I hate the boots though but, what can you do. I have a Red Curtain version of this drawing that I still need to color. He will be used for the new Red Curtain design when it debuts.
The drawing was done on paper and scanned in. I painted it in Photoshop, except for the background. The background I did in Painter. Meh.. the background is ok but nothing special.
Lately, I haven't really wanted any constructive criticism on my art. You may have noticed that I've been choosing the Comfort Food option for crits. I've been going through a rough time at school and right now I do my art for myself and no one else. My confidence in my abilities as an artist have been drained by school and I'd just like to just draw the way I want to without worrying whether it looks good or not. I just want to enjoy drawing and painting and not be critical of myself.

Wow, he's really beautiful! I love your sketchy coloring style. His hair looks great too, I just love the way you draw your characters' hair.
Anyhow, I love it. And screw them, you're a great artist!*huggles* 
Sorry.
The way you integrated him in the site design is way original. I know how you feel about others being better than you. I'm sure that if I'd go to study art I'd feel the same thing. Not that I don't feel that already. That's just the way it is since I mostly teach myself.

I like the earthy colors and the light green, they make the picture so atmospheric. Very well done. And the floating hair is just beautiful.
So I have one question, have you painted this with the mouse, or do you have some kind of tablet? I ask that, because I toy with the idea to buy a tablet (not only for painting).

Beautiful, like all the work I've seen you post.
When all soldiers lay their weapons down, Or when all kings and the queens relinquish their crown, Or when the only true Messiah rescues us from ourselves, It's easy to imagine, There will be sorrow no more

I dunno why you'd be losing confidence in the artistic sense I think you're absoluting great! Especially with your whimsical, dreamy style. That's something I could never do no matter how hard I try. As for this demon you've pulled together another awesome pic (I say that alot
but its true!) and keep doing your thang! 
Don't let anyone pull you down

We all need some time to express ourselves how we please, so nobody can fault you. Plus, you're an amazing artist and it's always fun to look at your art.
But, I know I can always come back to one of your works and figure out where I'm going.
As for this piece...like your others, I love the mood you're able to create by your use of colors and brush strokes. I still don't know how you use Photoshop as you do, I finally put it on my computer and am no where CLOSE to this kind of quality.
Excellent, Susie.
