SATs are easy. I scored in the 85th percentile verbal and I was up for like 24 hours before. Just learn all your Latin and Greek roots. Math, on the other hand, well that makes no sense at all. And regarding the permit, you mgiht not need one for out of state conventions. They might have different rules. Check the rules for ones in Vegas, or, if that fails, Tijuana. SATs. Gyah. pain. And I just found out that I CAN get a permit (with parents approval) for the next Anime Expo after all. But after seeing the people at Artists Alley this year, and their absolutely INSANE art...I felt very little. But I got a year's time to improve =D

Please, you don't think that the writers here get just as intimidated when we see the insane stuff that guys like Grant Morrison are putting out?
Its all about trying to find your own voice.

Very beautiful illustrations and I love your use of colours and you being only 15 I suggest branching out and learning more about other media and use them to your advantage as well as keeping up your pencilling.

Wow.
So now we have the Berlin Poe standard problem. Your work is very good, but not in my tastes. So though you have some very high quality work here, it seems to be very...already done by someone in Japan feel to it.
Now this is not a "bad" thing, in fact you will likely get a job while I'm still trying to sell my "differant" style. What I wonder is what is the goal of all your work? You want in the biz? You just doing this for fun? Can you do a differant style entirely?
I dunno, I'm not trying to be mean, just critical. But you are young. You have your whole life to mutate your style into something fresh. You have a lot of life to make up a "style".
Good work and keep up the talent!

Really nice art. Most people who post here are kind of looking at the possibility of doing comics, so again I ask the question is that kind of where you want to go with this? If so try drawing a page of a comic. You can go with one of the many scripts online or just buy any comic, choose a page out, and reinterpret it. Have fun with it. One of the more fun ways to try this out is to take a page entirely out of context.
Maybe you pull a page from Bendis's Avengers and decide that instead of it being spiderman, luke cage, and captian America talking as they run from the law, you are going to have the three witches having the same conversation as they go grocery shopping. Play with the concepts in your mind. What dialogue would be especially meaningful? What layouts make sense? What camera angles? What do you show in each panel? What don't you? If you can pull it off and all of the dialogue make s sense for your characters to be saying, it is a really fulfilling exercise.
Anyway that is just a fun exercise for sequential drawing.
If you have any thoughts of drawing comics, you should draw a page of sequential art from a script. Pin ups are easy. In a pin up you can position your character in the easiest way for you to come up with a good picture. Having to draw a sequence of drawings with a character doing something entirely mundane that you don't really want to draw (like changing his oil) will really open you eyes on the skills you need to develop to do comic art.
Plus we can critique that a lot better.
All this said, if you want to just do pin up art when you fell like it, there is nothing wrong with that. You can make a good chunk of money and have a great time doing that too.
Best of luck on your studies and feel free to hit me up if you want a critique.
