Zophia poked me to make a thread. I know this will die off quickly, but I guess I could just show off some work in progress, and what I have managed to do by combining MsPaint and GIMP.
The first one is the outline. It is done in MsPaint, since GIMP was acting up.
The next two is the coloured result, both coloured in GIMP (It was acting okay again)
The difference is the outline. The upper one is with the original outline:
With this one I copied the outline and blured it. So the original outline is on top, the next layer is blured, and then the colour come:
The last one here is what I will think of as the conclusion. A gradient layer from GIMP, smudged out and adjusted, again with the smudge tool. The lazy solution, I know.
Work in progress, right? I do not know if I am going to make it any better.

The smudge tool is your frrriiieeennnddd...
Kidding aside, the final version is pretty dang awesome. Instant fave if this had been an artsite.
If you want constructive criticism, I could possibly find some. Like the green flameliness being brighter for a better glowing effect, and said glowing effect reflecting down on the shoulder.
But it's awesome.

Awesome! I'm glad you finally made this thread!

You should not listen to that, Zophia. It just want to take over your drawing!!
And I think the green light is a bit diffuse..
Pazx, uhm... Actually, yes. Some hammers and axes have curvy handles, giving it more force, when you use it. This might be a little too curvy, but exagerating helps the understanding, right?

But it is your ffffrrrrriiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnndddddddd~? The smudge tool luvvvvvs youuuu~~~
Diffuse how? The shading on his pants also seem to be a bit off, while you've done very well on the shading of the fur.
Heh, I figured the curvature was just a cartoony interpretation of motion~

Like the turrets that are happy to see you? Oh, there you are BAM ??
I cannot explain it. It is not that glowing, and being somewhat in motion, most of the light go... backwards? And shading is always off.
Just a little more curve, and it will break. So much for heavy hammer head and strong fur.

X) I will end up smudged out of existence?
Makes sense with the flame then, I think.
But fur shading = well done.
Hehe~ But it does convey the motion quite well.

No, you will be reloaded at the beginning of the test to try again.
Thank you. The only thing I enjoyed, I think.
Why do I have the mental image of the handle snapping and hitting his tail....

I will see if I can get something done.
At the moment I do not think so, but maybe later.

Lazy background? I think it looks awesome as is.
Also really stoked to note you've ventured into the scary world of RGB! I guess a possible focus would be to investigate shading styles but pfft, whatever!
