Been cramming hard to get my artwork at least up to 1/4th par of the "good artists" here...Still not even close, though.

SEMI-GOOD guy/gal for a short story

BAD guy for the same story

Pseudo-Roman characters (as if Rome had never fallen, and this is like 200 years in the future, with a corrupt Roman-Catholic Church. So I was heading for higher tech roman dress...Hope it worked)

I hope that my anatomy is better. Please MURDER these.

I feel your pain. Seeing all these guys work lowers my self-esteem critically. I should probably save the critiqueing for the big boys, but... meh.

Two problems are apparent to me. First, the shading on some parts, especially the faces, seems rather flat. Maybe that's because ofaccidental smudging though. Second, the bad guy looks like he has a baseball bat shoved halfway up his ass. He's just standing there with none of the sense of movement or life the first drawing has.

I like the rounded sort of style the characters have. It kinda reminds me of the style they used for Lilo & Stitch. And I love the clothing.

I'll work on the shading more.

Actually, I haven't had a sketchbook for months, and have been drawing on Computer Paper bought by the bulk (25 packs of 500), for $17 at the local computer store. I use it for my "lined," or in this case "un-linied" school paper. It drives my teachers crazy when I do all my work (written) on comp paper, but they say that they enjoy the drawings, so...But, I really don't see how they are that great, or, they wouldn't if they saw the stuff here.

Anyways...Thanks.
