I've made this one as a new banner, which can be found on the EXU links page (banner 3) This banner is available in the dimensions 468x60 and 728x90
I liked the artwork enough to also make it into something to put on deviantArt. Here's the deviantArt version:
1500 x 600 on deviantArt
The funny thing is, it keeps getting easier to draw these guys. I would usually have an example drawing, to be able to draw them. I use a new technique as well, making a simple sketch to see where the head, arms and body goes. Then flesh out this sketch some more. And finally I go in and add the comic lineart, after which the inking and simple shading is done.
This is a much better way to work then during my Flash days. I didn't learn to draw digitally back then, as I just used the line tool to manipulate the lineart.
