Finnished character designs

This is my first post in this forum. These are the last of my pencil-only designs. I hope you guys like 'em.

Here is a biomechanical beast I dreamed up.

This winged beast was inspiration from LOTR.

Btw, I noticed this image was a little small. I'll fix that when I get a chance.

Please leave any comments if you have them.

The detail is good man, you need to use better contrast though. Maybe a darker pencil around the edges of the characters.

I agree...make the darks REALLY dark! Do a full range of values from 0-100%, 0% being white and 100% being black...right now it looks like it stops around 75%.

I think they both lack a bit of form... there's lots of detail, but especially the first guy looks very flat. The details don't really seem to wrap around his forms.

I agree. Every piece of every single object gradates between the same 2 values (you do have a few slightly darker spots inside the figures guns). The result is that there is no sense of light or form (just looks flat).

Thanks for the comments guys. I do need to improve the contrast, I see that now. Fortunatley, this won't involve starting over. I am thinking about do digital paintings of them, so I might fix em' there. Thanks again.
