This includes backgrounds (and perspective), diversification in figures, "action" shots, inking and colouring (mostly digital). The biggest hurdle so far is actually being able to take courses in those things, what with his family to support.I'm dabbling in digital inking and colouring myself, but so far not to any degree that I'd try to ink and colour his drawings.Anyway, I put up some of his more recent pictures on my own homepage, just to have a kind of fledgeling online portfolio until we can sit down and do a proper site for him (his wife has already bought the domain name for him).<a href="http://gentlegiantdk.com/Danny2.html" target="_blank">Click here to visit that page</a>[imager]http://gentlegiantdk.com/images/Danny/tn_Dredd%20McBane.jpg[/imager]<img src="http://gentlegiantdk.com/images/Danny/tn_Corwyn.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />[imager]http://gentlegiantdk.com/images/Danny/tn_Galynn03.jpg[/imager]<img src="http://gentlegiantdk.com/images/Danny/tn_El%20Diablo.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="http://gentlegiantdk.com/images/Danny/tn_Latoya.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />If you visit the page linked above you can see larger versions of these (and the rest of the drawings I put up).Any feedback (good and bad) is welcome, especially from other artists and those with ties to the RPG/publishing industry! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Also, feel free to ask questions, I'll try my best to answer those I can and then forward the others to my friend.For those quick enough, you can remove the 2 in the url to see some older drawings of his. Furthermore, the link at the bottom of my signature will take you to an old portfolio of his. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
