Have you ever read anything by H.P.Lovecraft??
Some of the creature designs look very Lovecraftian, and could really serve well as Lovecraftian pieces.
They are really nice. I dont much like the colour one...i think you work better with pencil, and in black&white (at the moment).
You need to study anatomy more, and start making everything appear more realistic than it does already...the marge muscles or wirey frame dont work right with some of these creatures.
But seriously, keep at it...because most of it is really nice.
Wow youre good.:o
Thanks :)

No I didnt read any of his work, but from what I search about him, yes I think you are right, my style similiar to his :) Also thanks for the critic , its always good for an artist to know where he/she did the mistake :)

Thats ok. Ive grown up around artists, and know that shying away from criticism can really ruin a good piece of work.
Just remember to study all sorts of anatomy, not just human.
A good piece of practice is just doodling random body parts (say, your hand) and trying to get it better and better. This will also improve on your speed as well.
Thats right, TZM.
-I also suspect youre starting doodling textures on your designs before you get the rough shape right. Do a few thumbnail sketches to pin down the design you have in mind, and focus on a strong silhouette for the character, then you can start to fill in the details. That way things doesnt look too random, and youll get a less awkward pose. That said, I salute you for doing more dynamic poses as opposed to mere blueprints, which is a common mistake.
Also, if you aim to work in the industry, this is probably the time to start to get real familiar with Photoshop.

Thats right, I start to texturing before get the shape right, oh and about that thumbnail sketches; it could be very usefull, I didnt think about it before, thanks :D
About Photoshop thing; my tablet is broken, when I got it fixed or get a new one I will continue to learn it again :) ( no way with the mice :P )
