Pencil work

Hello everyone! Here are some concept pencil sketches I wanted to share with this fantastic community. I hope you enjoy.

wow, that's some really nice detail and pencil strokes, i wish i was that good ;)

don't really know what i'm looking at in the 3rd one, but overall is great!

I would concentrate in the drawing itself before starting to get into that rendering. BTW: The rendering is amazing.

Thanks for the kind words. The third creature down is some fantastical beast, like a guardian of some sort.

As lennon said, the rendering is great but the drawing itself needs more work.

Okay, thanks again for the constructive crits. Can you be more specific then? What do you suggest (assuming we're still speaking of the Guardian - 3rd down from the top) besides a really vague "needs more work"? These have only been snapshots of ideas, though 'finished' so to speak, and your comments seem a little vague to me. I would appreciate something a little more specific, like "texture the background to make the creature really pop out" or "shade more of the creature itself to define such and such area"...something like that would be helpful. Thanks.
