lol. No suggestions or anything?
I already realized I screwed up the lighting bad....I'm going to have the lighting coming from behind metalgreymon, and otherwise the lighting coming from the glowing eyes, shoulder light, and tron lines. But I was sticking too close to the reference images for the metallic shading, now not sure how to adjust it.

Also, I have a whole slough of 3D models from when I was playing with SolidWorks. My favorite is this snakeblade, kinda like what Ivy wields in SC:

My second proudest accomplishment is this. If there's any fans of RWBY here, I made a model of those poor VTOL aircraft that are always getting shot down every episode

Oh hey I came back :V
Blah blah blah, some crap I scribbled on Christmas.
Anyway, that Digimon art looks great for a WIP! Metallic lighting/shading is super tricky. When I shade metal, my order usually goes as such:
Highlight -> Midtone -> Highlight -> Core Shadow -> Shadow -> Reflective light
I should be looking into it more, but it's how I always got some pretty convincing results. Perhaps when I feel like practicing it, a full on drawing of Dural would suffice :U

Thanks, here's an update to it. I'm just winging it and hoping for the best, to be honest lol. I still gotta do the Tron guy, background, and lighting.

Fortunately I figured that out sooner and decided to keep all my panels in one layer as opposed to a million others for effects and junk.
Luckily, I'm one of those crazy dingbats that would rather spend a million of their ours working in color as opposed to messing with tones B|
This thread has now been taken over by butts.

Yes my plan worked!
Ghosty honestly I think you could color a page quicker than it took me to figure out tones haha And at the end of it all I ended up going with a mostly tone-free style (I think it's one of those 'less is more' things).
But yeah Manga Studio is pretty sweet... it's mostly used by Japanese I think, hence why it's very tough to find good English tutorials.
