Ah I love them.  The Aquatic-lady is such an amazing looking character!
I've always known I'd be a bank robber.  So judge all you want, ladies and gentlemen, because you never did become an astronaut.

Very nice! Your style is very unique, and your skills are very polished. I'm amazed how the detail in the digital work matches that of the pencil work. Some artists like to skip out on details when it comes to digital.

(Love the "MOM" tattoo, by the way. ;) )

Lovely character designs. I adore the way you draw.
Whatever you conceive God to be, also be aware that every single thing you do actually changes the world. Dreams cannot be broken and they will give you no peace if you don't act with integrity.

Although the presentation is very neat at first sight, the anatomy is terribly messed up in some parts. Which is a pity, because you pick very nice colours and the itself style ain't half-bad either. You really want to start making use of guidelines though, because I imagine they will help you out immensely. Make sure your shapes are consistent in size, shape and angle. Work a little on plotting how and what gravity would effect instead of randomly applying folds (which on some occasions even clash with the outline) and the like. The lighting seems a bit off in multiple areas too. The zora (?) has a lot less of these issues than the elf, though, so if that one is the newer one, good on ya. Keep working at it; there is potential.

Thanks for the feedback guys :)

rad, while I do appreciate the crit, Im actually rather suprised/hurt that you would say so, being that I attend life drawing groups, regularily study human anatomy, and almost always sketch guidlines. Well, my forte is nude work...clothes might be messing me up? Anyways I honestly dont see the " terribly messed up " here.... certainly not perfection, but " terribly messed up " is a bit harsh I feel.

I don't think it's the clothes, love. Just a couple of examples; the legs and feet in the first picture have completely different angles and the shoulders are uneven, so it looks like her neck is placed more to our right than normal, which is further accented by dropping her bandana down and the shoulder she has lifted (the bandana also makes her head seem awfully flat cause it seems to fall straight). In the pencil one, the guy has awfully narrow shoulders for arms that big and his eyes are way too far to the sides of his head.

There's quite a couple of more things, and I'm not trying to burn you down here, I know it is tough to spot the mistakes in your own work. I have the same problem. It is also much harder to draw something from the blank slate of the mind than to portray a model and because you're not drawing something else; you cannot compare. My advice would be to search for a picture or person to base a rough stance/skeleton on, indeed start with the nude shapes, then stylise it and then draw clothes over it afterwards.

Oh and don't mind all the words people use, love. Nothing to be hurt about, that kinda makes it look like you're not very confident about your work. I don't think I used an overstatement. But if you're uncomfortable with that, just take the things you can use and leave that which you can't behind. You're making the opinion of a total stranger much harder on yourself than it should be ;)

 (Entei) Well despite what others may say, I think your art is of a stupendous standard and would kill to have any where near as good art skills as you do.

With all due respect rad....
Im not actually all that upset by the words of a total stranger...I was more trying to gently suggest that critiquing where a critique was not asked for is a tad rude.

As a fellow artist, I can't help but agree with Eruanna.
The crit is fine, but rather uncalled for, especially since this is
a role playing forum, and not ConceptArt or CritCorner.

I think the artist just posted this as visual aids for her characters,
not as a gauge of her skills.

Y'know, that can easily be misinterpreted. As well as the defensive post on anatomy. But alright, I'll put a halt to it here then. Do me a favour though and be more straight-forward with me next time.

Sure is a drama-stirring post up in here.

I agree.  Let's keep this civil.
