So I decided to put a site together showcasing my works. Took me about 3 hours to slap together from nothin. Any criticisms and compliments are welcome! Thanks in advance!

So, in addition to my site... here's a picture :)

Well, I'm fairly new to these boards, and none of the topics say that this would be long in a particular place. I figured this would be appropriate being it's still design work that is finally finished.

Well, considering it must be quite obvious I don't know being I posted it here, it would be nice if someone would specifically point me in the right direction to where this "should" be posted.

Well, there is a thread stuck at the top of the Finally Finished section that's pretty hard to miss that says:

RULE: New threads MUST INCLUDE PICTURE.

So if you edit your first post in this thread, and include one of the pictures from your site, then this post would be good to stay. :)

lots of decent sketches and Illos on your site. the main thing I noticed was the upper leg tends to be a bit long, and the lower leg too short. Also, the shading on the bodies could use higher contrast to give them 3 dimensional form and structure.

The very light shading on the bodies, coupled with the high contrasts in the costume tend to make the drawings look flat (in the pencil sketches). The shadows on the body, especially where there is little light, like under a helmet or the shadow cast by clothing, really needs to be pushed more I think.

I won't comment on the color, because I really haven't done any reading or experimenting with color yet. :)
