[Buddhist]

Heya! Starting a thread here to keep myself motivated, and inspired. Also looking to be able to work more efficiently and to learn a lot from critiques! ^__^

Most of these concepts were done for a class project

That was some gap man, between like 2008 and today:P I like most of the stuff, though I think the concepts could do with a little less pin up poses and some more depth. That would really make them interesting.

Here are some WIPs for a little story I'm working on and I'd like to have some input. So tell me what you think :) I'm here to learn so bash it if you have to.

Wanted to turn this alien into a noble. The time setting would be the future. I wanted it to have that Eastern style feel. I'll add more to the story later

This one's a leader of a small group in the same world as the alien above.

Let me know what you guys think. :)

My laptop went dead on me last and had my studies saved on there, but luckily my main work is backed up on my HD :D

An update on the Elder character, wanted him to have some sort of robotics on his back that supports his stance (since hes an oldie) XD Suggestions and feedback are welcome.
