Heh. No worries. Seriously, I think it’s just me. Besides, I’m no professional, so I can’t fairly judge. But, yeah, the limb between the elbow and the wrist is the short section of the arm that I was talking about. My apologies for not specifying it.
In any case, keep up the great work!

Maybe, WillZMarler. I’ll see how it goes, thanks for the suggestion!
Good piece of advice, Violet Parr! I thought it was a little cluttered.
That’s John McClane from Die Hard. He’s jumping off Nakatomi Plaza with only a firehose as a bungee cord.
Totally. 
Well, I used to. Now I’m a little rusty, but I’m sure works better than a little practice! Thanks for the compliment!
Why, thank you, woody.
Oh, but you’re a fellow artistic peer, Mitch. And to me that’s just as valuable as a professional’s. Besides, I appreciate constructive criticisms more than compliments, so thanks for pointing out my flaws.
I’m not sure whether to post this here or in the Off-Topic Fanworks section, but since it has an element of Wall-E in it (don’t ask me, he ‘wandered’ into my piece! 
), I’ll just post it here.
Well, I made this back in May, and having watched both Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Terminator Salvation, I can safely say they’re both awesome! Slightly disappointing in comparison to their predecessors, but they stand on their own merits.
This is a mash-up pic if a battle ever took place between these two titanic summer blockbusters with a cameo of a pair from another robot movie caught in the middle. I would SO pay to watch such a crossover film if it was ever made!
Anyway, the sketch and inking was done traditionally. I was too scared to mess this up with traditional colouring and too lazy to do it digitally, so I’m leaving it as is, pencil guidelines included. I know, I suck at drawing the feet, ugh!
Compliments and constructive criticisms much appreciated!
That’s such a cool concept, thedriveintheatre, and you’ve executed it really well! There’s so much detail in that picture, especially with the designs of the machines, and I think this would look absolutely awesome in colour. And I love how you’ve managed to insert WALL-E and EVE in there too. 
Love in the midst of violence. <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/love2.gif” alt=“:loves:” title="In
Love" /> What an interesting concept. The only constructive criticism I can see is that the two larger robots are leaning to the right a bit. I would really love to see this again if you chose to digitally colour it in and repost it here, especially since your shading is quite good, judging by the first piece you posted here. Your WALL-E and EVE are too cute!
Ooh, that looks violent. Really nice. It looks like something I would see in an action movie. Keep it up.
I like your latest peice TDIT! It’s a nice mash-up.
I don’t like giving criticism, but the human looks to me like he’s about to run into the car. Other than that i think it’s great. I can’t wait to see more. 
I like your line art. You included a lot of nice detail. The mash up concept is really great too. The addition of Wall E and Eve is a neat touch; juxtaposes nicely with the violence surrounding them.
Thanks for the comments, lizardgirl! Yeah, it was fun drawing the bits of machinery, but I’ll admit, Optimus’ head was strangely the hardest to draw. In the end, I had to refer to an online video of someone sketching it to see how it could be done, heheh. I’m not sure I want to continue this in colour, but who knows, maybe I’ll dust this off a few months down the road and finish it off.
Thanks Rachel, I like your tagline! Yeah, I guess I coulda tried contrasting Optimus and The Fallen’s stance, I was trying to depict Optimus swinging a punch at The Fallen and the latter’s reaction to the blow, but it came off a bit ‘stiff’. Guess I shoulda referred to boxing pics or somethin’. Thanks for the compliment on Wall-E and Eve, it’s my first attempt to draw them in detail! 
Thank you, TSS. Yeah, I’m an adrenaline junkie, Action’s my middle name (actually, it’s not, but you get the idea, I love action movies).
Thanks, mo. Don’t be afraid to give criticisms, I appreciate them more than compliments, really. Yes, I guess you can say John Connor should look where he’s running. Thanks for the critique, I’ll plan my layouts more properly in the future.
Thanks for the feedback, Hannahmation! I got the idea of doing a mash-up of the two biggest movies of the summer which coincidentally starred robots as the main characters, then I thought, why not throw Wall-E and Eve into the thick of it? Interestingly, Eve protects Wall-E most of the time instead of the other way round, so I drew her embracing him in an attempt to ‘shield’ him. “Jucks-tah-poh-see-shun.” Ooh, I love the sound of that word.
Your drawings are not bad, though the first one didn’t appeal to me much (Welcome to My World), but that’s because I’m not a big fan of ‘colored’ drawings. I read in your dA site that you used some kind of program called the Wacom? It must have taken longer than a drawing colored with color pencils, of course, but that’s just how I feel about this type of drawings 'coz they tend to ruin that whole professional look; hope you don’t mind.
Your second drawing, however (War of the Machines) looks great. Now that has a professional look. If you color it using paint (the real paint, not the program) or Photoshop, I’m sure that feel would be kept and, even better, enhanced. Keep it up, thedriveintheater!
Ah, a Luddite you are, eh, Gemini? Hehe, just kidding. Wacom is a pen tablet, which is a computer peripheral, not a program. I used Photoshop. You’re right though, it took a heck of a lot longer than traditional because I was not used to painting with the stylus (sometimes my tablet won’t read my strokes, so I have to paint again, and you don’t get as much control with pressure).
I’m glad you liked my second. I don’t think I’ll colour it anytime soon, but maybe I’ll dust it off in the far future and knuckle down to breathe new ‘life’ into it. Thanks for the comments!

No animal in the entire universe can resist chocolate… except Remy.
I was thinking of what to draw for fellow Pixar Planet member Mitch’s birthday when it hit me… what if two of her most favourite Pixar characters were to meet? After an afternoon and evening of drawing and colouring, this is the result.
Man, my traditional skills are rusty! I haven’t touched a box of colour pencils since Secondary 2 (Grade 8!). This also marks my first attempt at drawing Russell and Remy.
Anyway, happy birthday, Mitch! May your hopes and dreams come true.
Excellent job TDIT! Russell’s eyes look a bit strange and he’s not as rotund, but besides that, he looks really impressive! I really love how bright his badges are. As for remy, he looks a bit generic and his ears are a bit big, but he looks pretty good! I’m sure Mitch will love it! I didn’t realize you were so good at drawing!
Man, Mitch is going to be so happy to see all this artwork from fellow members wishing her a happy birthday!
Anyway, I think that’s a quite creative little crossover. You’ve drawn them quite neatly (though the coloring could be a bit smoother). I like how Remy’s expression is. I think Russell needs to be a little rounder, though. Still, it looks remarkable! I like how you described it, too: No animal in the entire universe can resist chocolate…except Remy. Brilliant job!
Thanks for the constructive criticism, ffdude906! I must admit, drawing eyes is not my forte (I draw them in the ‘dot-style’ Horrible Histories’ illustrator Martin Brown), and I must work on that. My trouble is with the irises, especially. 
I also had difficulties getting Russell to look ‘chubby’ (my first draft actually depicted him as a thin adult, which was quite creepy ). I’m not quite sure how to get Remy to look ‘distinct’, if that’s what you meant. I guess I could shrink those ears a little… thanks for pointing out my flaws, though!
The same goes for you, BDD! The colouring roughness can be attributed to either my scanner or my colour-correction in Photoshop (since the original scan looked too pale). If I showed you the artwork in real-life, it’s actually quite smooth. I’m good at ‘unamused’ expressions, but I think I need to widen my repertoire (I may try a character expression sheet down the road). Yes, I agree Russell needs to be fatter (or ‘big-boned’, as they say, heheh. ). Thank you for the bouquets and brickbats!
Anyone else care to comment? I prefer criticisms to compliments, though I don’t mind more praises!
Two of Mitch’s favourite characters- a perfect birthday present! I agree with the other criticisms, but I like how you’ve interpreted both Russell and Remy in your own style and how you’ve included a lot of detail, like with Russell’s badges. Remy could be a little blue-er, but aside from that the colouring is really good too, not too bright but enough to make the piece stand out. Great work!
Thank you for your feedback, lizardgirl! Yup, you could say I had an epiphany of some sorts when I was deciding what to draw for Mitch.
Actually, if you look closely, one of the badges is of a Smiley Face, and another is of the French flag!
Yeah, I shoulda added more blue to Remy’s fur. The original piece was actually coloured very lightly, but I tweaked the ‘curves’ in Photoshop to make it ‘richer’. Don’t know whether it emphasized the grainy texture (I use Canson ‘Medium Tooth’ paper) that BDD mentioned. But yes, every criticism is a call to improve, so thanks again for the comments!
Man, it’s been months since I did a Pixar-related artpiece! Anyway, below is my submission for the Toy Story 3 dA contest and the accompanying blurb, so yeah, love to hear your thoughts on my last-minute jam-job!
"The name’s Pants. Pricklepants. Shh!
So I had this idea to do this as an artpiece initially after learning Mr Dalton was voicing the thespian hedgehog. But then I got kinda lazy and did an avatar [link] with Eve instead in time for the movie (There’s not many screenshots with Jessie’s back to the camera!). Then I thought, why not do a submission for Pixar Planet’s Toy Story 3 contest?
Needless to say, I left it to the last minute (as I usually do with things) and I whipped this up in 3 hours without breaks. It’s now two in the morning, and I’m wasted, but at least I got it on the deadline…
Oh, and to keep it family-friendly (or as Woody would say, because “there’s preschool toys present”), I substituted the guns from the original poster [link] with a finger-pistol and a script book. Yeeaaahhh… anyway I hope you like it. xD"
Oh wow 3 hours without breaks- that must’ve been exhausting! But it looks awesome. Interesting parody drawing. It’s a very creative spin. It looks so neatly drawn and detailed and colored! The pose works for Jessie superbly. I don’t think I could give any critiques on this one. It’s really really impressive. The 3 hours were quite productive- the finished product looks worth it!
Thank you for the kudos, BDD!
The image below is not the first time I’ve drawn Wall-E and Eve (It’s the third, after ‘War of the Machines’ and a yet-to-be-released-artwork I’m colouring), but yeah, Wall-E = Not the Easiest Thing To Draw!
"Okay, this might seem like the most far-out crossover ever, but I love these two films, and it’s meant to be a birthday present for someone who also likes these two films, so yeah… this is the best I can come up with in one hour. Come on, it’s a great study in contrasts… living vs non-living, old vs new, Pixar vs Dreamworks… no to mention it’d be an interesting scenario.
You know you want this to happen. So please tell me that I’m a lazy-butt for not colouring it in.
Happy birthday little_chef/vindeamer!"
I really like your artwork thedriveintheater! Especially the one of Mr. Pricklepants and MacBeth!
Clever take on The Living Daylight poster thedriveintheater! I just love that Mr. Pricklepants is holding a copy of the Scottish play
