But Full View should give enough detail. ;)

That font, friends, is Chiller. I love that font, but it's always so hard to read, unless it's fairly large. It's a good Ghostbusters font. I actually modified it just a little.

So anyway, I am uploading this, but I think it could STILL be considered a WIP of sorts. No, not really. I think I'm going to increase the size of the lineart, and paint it bigger. This size did not allow for enough detail, making using any of the tutorials available difficult.

This is more or less... whatever. I didn't stop early on this, I just feel like it could be better. So I might make a revision of this in the future. :XD:

Whining aside, this is Ray. His colors do look a little off... sorry about that. I call this "EctoLove" because I freaking LOVE those goggles, pretty much the main reason I drew this picture. I also like the expression he has in the picture, but I haven't really captured it with this drawing, probably the most disappointing aspect of the drawing. :XD: But it's a big step for me. I tried working with more dramatic shadowing than ever before. Taking that "risk" has given me quite satisfying results.

Looking at the drawing, I think it only looks sort of like him. I'm going to be cheesy and say I didn't capture the "beauty" of the image. :XD: Not to say he's beautiful, but I didn't get the features that I think make the picture a great picture. His eyelids look a lot softer in the photo. I also made him look a great deal more worried/tired. I know that's what the character was feeling, so I think it slanted my results. Y'know?

As usual, I couldn't bring myself to color the lips. I never color lips unless a person is wearing lipstick. :XD:

Lastly, added that freaky little ghost drawing in the corner. Based off of Slimer, obviously. Haha.

So yeah. Uhhh. This took a few days. Did the painting in about a whole day. Drawing it took longer than painting it.

Okay, I'll describe this just a tad more, because I feel like it. This is when Ray, Peter, and Egon go to their first job. In the elevator, Ray is uneasy about the Proton Packs, solemnly admitting that he had never performed a successful test on the equipment. He asks Egon to "switch him on," which he does, and then the other back slowly away from him against the walls of the elevator (like that's going to protect them from a particle accelerator!).
