I REALLY like the style you're developing. That first painting is an instant favourite, but I think you should make the highlights more defined and brighter on that robot, since it's metal and reflective/shiny. Also the lighting and shading on the robot's upper left and right legs is off compared to the rest of the picture.

I like the Koyoma sketch. Nice execution of perspective, but his right hand is way too big compared to his head and his forearm way too short. Clothing folds feel misleading and random on that arm as well.

Lizza is great, except for the bumpy shadows and highlights. Make longer more confident strokes that have a solid form.

Sir Damien shows good understanding of general form and facial anatomy, but the light source isn't very clear due to the fact that some parts of his face on the left are too dark, when his hair is darker on the opposite side. Also when drawing metals try to make your darks really dark and your lights really light, and have them separated clearly to some extent. The armour here looks really dull-ish when it should shine some more. Also softer blending would be nice, but that could be just my preference.

Thanks for the awesome feedback Salt! It really helps. I have a bad habit of being timid when it comes to making dark darks on metals, I always have this fear of overdoing in and instead tend to "underdo". I can understand liking softer shading too, especially on metal, I've just recently started to take a different approach to painting and blending purely with the paintbrush, not with a water or blending brush. I'm not completely sure if I like it yet (it took a hell of a lot longer to do than just using a blending brush) but I felt that it gave it more of a painted effect, since I was trying to go for a medieval style portrait. Either way, all of your observations were spot on, thank you very much! (And I love your signature, SexualLobster is one of my favorite animators)

[spoiler=][/spoiler]-My flight to Florida got delayed and I had no idea what to do with myself, so I sketched like mad-crazy.-

These are pretty good man, I think you have a fairly strong handle on "finished"-ness which is always a quality that's important in art. I think out of all these the Double Trouble one is my favorite. Good grasp on the sonic style, nice color choices, a wide range in tone, and dynamic poses/camera angle.

I think if I were to have one criticism that would seriously help improve your art, it would be breaking down forms.
Looking at your DA gallery I think if you just got a better handle of breaking forms down into basic shapes like cylinders and prisms you'd have a SERIOUS jump in art quality. A good place you might want to start with it just drawing basic 3D shapes in all different perspectives. Then move on to drawing a 3D shape 'falling through air' on paper (its a LOT hard then it sounds trust me, it should look like the shape is tumbling if you played then in an animation). Then move on to stacking the 3D shapes, and then finally move on to breaking down things like arms,legs,torso's into these shapes.

I'm sure after doing this for just even a little while you'll start to notice an improvement in the depth and quality of your art.
I'll be looking for more from you dood~

Yo Plasma! Thanks for the feedback man! I think I see what you're getting at, I'm constantly just wanting to get stuff drawn and done because of how little time I tend to have so I haven't really taken the time to do any perspective studies, aside from what I did in art classes a year or two ago. I'll definitely start doing some of those more now that it's summer.

The Red Warrior
http://lordzaix.deviantart.com/art/The-Red-Warrior-542314734
[spoiler=] [/spoiler]-I got a Cintiq Companion 2 as a graduation gift and decided to test it out by drawing one of my favorite video game characters. It was originally just going to be a sketch but I liked it so much I decided to make it a sketchy-finished drawing, if that makes any sense. XD-

I feel as though Zero should be standing on a steamroller screaming "MUDA MUDA MUDA" or "WRYYYYYYYYY!" while X just stares in confusion.

Hahaha that's totally the pose! Why didn't I notice? XD I kind of feel bad that I didn't draw that now.

Lol, I thought that was your initial inspiration. XD It just seemed so uncomfortable unless you're parodying such a FABULOUS series.

Maybe it was just some kind of subconscious inspiration thing going on XD I was just trying to come up with a fairly difficult action pose and that popped into my head.

You have my respect sir, you have my respect.

UPDATE

King Saul (WIP)
http://sta.sh/0mqlhh8cbrc
[spoiler=][/spoiler]-A piece I've been working on for an employer looking to hire me, this is kind of a trial run to see if I'm able to do what he and his team are looking for. Still a work in progress.-

I wanna say the circular wrinkle around his eye is just a bit too pronounced, and with the darker shading almost makes it look like he's wearing a mask. And his right eye (one on the left in the shade) looks just a bit too big.
