But to quickly answer the question, based from memory the sea one took me around 2 - 2.5 hours. the joker around 1 and half hours, alba about 2 to 3, batman is longest thus far, probably 3 to 4 hours, maybe slightly longer.

Heh. This reminds me of an anecdote of Picasso, something I read from a book on self-discipline. It goes something like he was dining out at a restaurant when an enamored fan of his approaches him. She can't believe her luck and she insists that he draws her something, anything. She presses him, insisting she'll pay anything he demands and he reluctantly agrees. So he takes a napkin and creates art right before her eyes. Five minutes later he hands her the napkin. She's elated. She asks, "So how much?". He responds, "$5000". She goes on a bender and screams at him, "It took you 5 minutes to draw the bloody thing, you're out of your mind!" He responds, "Lady, it took me 5 minutes to draw it but it took me 20 years to learn how."

That said, that book did not help my motivation or self-discipline WHATSOEVER.

Anyways, I wonder how you learned to draw? Your experience? Were you an apprentice or something, or did you go to art school? Or were you more like a prodigy of some kind, taking an early interest in drawing as an 8 year old, practicing a few hours a day for years and years? How many hours of practice a day does it take for someone to learn how to do what you do? And how did you learn it?

I've seen your work before, years earlier and I just find it hilarious that you end up being a starcraft fan posting on teamliquid. I guess it would be like admiring a starleaguer like Jaedong and years later finding out he posted on the battlestargalatica board you post on.

EDIT: there is no way you could teach me how to draw like that in a month.
