First piece I've done colored completely in Xara!

Very nicely done! you do know you are welcome to post your images here rather than linking to them?

Did you know that "Pissed" and "Bummed" mean completely different things in British English?

[angelize]

Here in Canada at least (but I would imagine it would be the same in the US as well) they both have more than one meaning, and the meaning depends on how you use them. I like the drawings and I hope we will get to see more.

[Big Frank]

In Britain "pissed" means drunk. It has no other meaning in British English, and "bummed" has only one meaning, something akin to sodomy. In the UK if you ask for a "fag" you are asking somebody for a cigarette and nothing else, so if you see a "fag butt" on the floor you're talking about a cigarette end, not the posterior of a homosexual. In the UK if you say to a woman "hey, you've got a nice fanny", you're not talking about her bottom, you're talking about a far more private part of her anatomy, expect a slap in the face. None of those words have context-sensitive double meanings in British English. All I'm saying is if you're appealing to a younger audience, be careful what you say. Of course, if you don't care, then say what you want.

I like your Toonicorn drawings, they're delightful

I'd be guessing you're not one for hanging around the deviantart boards Frank - don't think there will be much cross-pond confusion there...

You weren't brought up in the same part of England as I was then.

I think we have 'hammered' [in the sense I would use that word] the 'divided by a common language' thing enough for a graphics thread maybe.. back hopefully to the art....

@toonicorn: I like this character, are you planning on using him as a cartoon strip?
