Well Im sure you get a lot of newcomers around here...
But I would like some critiques and the best place is where the best hang out :D .

Most of these I have no intention of finishing, but I do feel that critiques will help any future art. I do hope to make a living in Art/3d Animation. In fact... I move to florida to attend Ringling for 3d Animation in August.

The first picture I didn't spend a whole lot of time on. I really just wanted to get a concept down... I have craploads of ideas running through my head. I had sort of a Jules Verne and pseudo Industrial revolution look in my head. I dont know if it came out or not :p.

Obviously there is no mostly no shading etc =|
And the breasts look odd... (I need those life drawing classes at Ringling :D)

The second drawing I spent a little more time on doing some crappy coloring of the head and shoulders =|
A big problem of mine is costume design... This guys clothes/armor isnt exactly practical but I think it turned out pretty well...

The third is a mecha/robot thingy. In fact hes the reason I found this site. I showed it to a guy online and he wondered if it was inspired by some contest here about steam powered things. I think this departs the most from the look I wanted to achieve... It doesnt look very Industrial revolutionish... =(
I did spend some time coloring the head/body of the mecha which looks pretty good I suppose.

Hey there, Toaster...

The first drawing doesn't have as much energy as the others, but that pseudo-flintlock-flamer weapon is pretty rad. The rendering in that first one just falls a little flat.

I like the second and third very much. The second looks like a hyper-futuristic riot cop...and the third drawing, like the second, gets _really_ nice and interesting with shading, which is rather well done! If it were me, I'm not sure if I would outfit a mecha with dual swords... ;-p Please re-post when that mecha's finished!

Your stuff feels fresh and fun - post on!

Best,
