<div class="IPBDescription">Metallica - Call of Ctulu (S&M version)</div> I was listening to the noted song yesterday morning, and for some reason I suddenly got inspired to draw this. I have a huge version they i'm gonna color later on, but for now, this is the line art. (33% actual size ^_^)
ooh, little bit of a story for it! woo!
<i>"As I approached the corner, The Motion tracking detected a skulk hiding on the wall around that bend. It didnt move, so I could tell it knew I was coming. It would take a split second to determine the victor as soon as I came around, but I know one thing for certain; that Skulk may be fast, but I am faster..."</i>

A suggestion would be to stay far, far away from the fill tool. It is evil in the wrong hands.. which happen to be most hands.. I despise using the fill tool, so I often find myself slowly filling in everything with the brush tool.. A lot more accurate for certain situations, but a hell of a lot slower.. Another hint for colouring and even just drawing in general, especially with pictures based off other things is to have some sort of referance open. When I was colouring I had HLMV open most of the time. Stopped me from doing stupid things I often do, such as colouring the stripes on the shoulder pads gold insted of silver or colouring the strips holding the forarm/leg plates a blackish colour insted of the greenish colour they should be.
