Its been a while since I last posted (Prolly a year or something).
First off something earlier I did in mspaint.

Then Team Fortress 2 got to my head.

Something for school.

and now during this past week and a half...

Ignore the big breasts. This one was a really fast piece at 20-30 minutes.

A W.I.P. warlock and the other one I can't post in its entirety, not because she's naked-though. Just mostly. P.M. me if you want to see it, 18+ though.

Pokemon! I love weaviles.

Just something stupid.

Just some stuff I've been grinding out lately. Crit it if you want, crits are good. The scout and the first one I've analyzed enough to know they suck, and have learned as much as I could from those 2 pieces already. The warlock W.I.P. is what could use help, though.

Well, I was gonna comment on the first one but I'm sure you know what's wrong with it by now, lol.

The second one probably isn't as bad as you think. She looks a little like Kim Possible.

I actually like Bigtits McGee, your style really shows in that one, though her arms are a little Betty Spaghetti curvy.

The warlock is coming along well, though something seems a little off about her left arm and I can't put my finger on it. On second look, her arms seem a little too long, but that could just be the perspective.

The Weavile also seems a little off facially...It's making me think of the Blue Badger from Phoenix Wright :\

Kim Possible lol, yeah, you're not the first to say that. As for bigtits, the curvyness is a bad style habit, its great for sketching, but I should stop it, just I can't. >.>
Its one of those things.

As for the warlock, her left, or our left? I agree with the arms being too long, but that may be the legs problem more than the arms.

Blue what? From wat?

You seem to have a lot of style already, and you make some interesting use of color and form. The anatomical proportions are ... amusing at times :eek:.

I'm impressed with the depth and perspective you can achieve, it really makes things look more dynamic.

Since you're already fairly advanced in the other areas, I'll be blunt. What I'm not impressed by are the faces: They need a lot of work. The cartoony ones on the pokemon are passable, but all the faces besides those and the "one for school" (orange & green) instantly bring down the pieces.

Cartoony-ness is fine in facial expressions, but the problem is the form. The noses look silly in their simplicity; the mouths and lips have no humanesque curve, or lilt, or definition. The eyes are lid-less and are so simple in shape, they kill any emotion the rest of the face is trying to carry.

So anyway in summation, nice work, just work on faces :3

Neat, but how should I work on the faces. You don't like the simplicity, which is fine by me.
Do you want more realistic looking faces? Or do you want it still cartoony, but with more definition, Is it the form? Line width?

There is always something wrong, no doubt, but a million ways to fix it.

Edit: eh? Quick doodle to illustrate what I percieve you want me to do. Nose nose.

And a something else.

Well I stand corrected! Those faces there have a lot of character. So keep doing that! ;)

Nice linework on the creepy mask girl. She looks familiar?

Oh, and I should probably PM this, but I'm lazy ... please shrink down your signature, it's wayyy too big. Sigs shouldn't be any taller than 100-120 pixels. Thanks ;)

Its all a matter of preferences, I suppose. I for one - quite like the simplistic faces, because sometimes the faces can get so cluttered with senseless and needless details they look ugly. Quite the predicament to get the right amount, I suppose.

I generally don't like to put in eyelids unless the eyes are closed or partially closed. Otherwise they always look tired in a way.
But thats me, and you're you. Though I think I just may find that medium - sooner or later. You're right.

Creepy mask girl does look familiar, can't quite put my finger on it.
Maybe the thing from Spirited Away?

Looks good, good incorporation of the nose like Venetia wanted (looks much smoother than the sample doodle you produced for her, much less ridiculous as well, lol). The only thing that really stands out for me is that curve left of her neck. That makes her have either a really long neck, a strangely placed shoulder, or a GIGANTIC breast. I suppose I would have to see the rest of the picture, but I am at work, and apparently it's NWS :O

Uh... 3rd one. Yeah. Its nws. I mentioned I couldn't post the rest... right? See those buckets? I'm done.
Have a furry.
I redid it because I got the original request all wrong. My friend added the background when I gave it to him, and my god, does it look better.

You can see a little more from this screenshot I took. Look at the navigation in the top right and you'll know.

wow, does that face look better! Now that's a cartoony face with style.

The hilariously big boobs are awesome, too, heh. Though I can only imagine a chick would have a pretttty hard time walking with melons of that calibre.
