Description
The finished linework for issue 1. ENJOY IT!!!! I COMMAND YOU TO ENJOY IT!!!A few minor errors that can be overlooked, but, all in all. I'm pretty pleased with it.
Coral is supposed to be smaller, but, I lost track of it until it was too late. Limbo is still messing with me. Kids are hard to draw, I admit it. Synapse is also difficult for me. I think it's because she represents the great love or "the one that got away" so, of course it's problematic for me. Also I never felt like I nailed or got those two characters. Everybody else I "get" but those two... I still have to play around with.

I like this a lot, but of course I've got my critiques... things to look out for and work on. First off I'd say you need to start focusing on drawing hands and making them look more natural. Nobody holds their hands perfectly straight like that... even fists can be held a little different depending on what they're doing. I'd like to see some really natural looking hands (so draw from life... get some magazines).
Second, you've got two characters with their arms cut off in bad places on the left side of the art. It was one of the first things I saw... those kind of awkward crops really stand out, but you don't notice it as much when you're drawing... then your brain blocks it out cause you've been looking at it so long.
You already know about that Coral character being too big, but I just don't like women being as big as the men. She looks like her shoulders and torso are as big if not bigger than the big-haired guy next to her - boobs bigger than her head and all.
All in all I like this though. I think the kid in the back looks great... best hands in the whole thing! hahaha.

That sounds like your taste (Limbo), the simpler the better.
The Coral thing was an error in measurement.
The arms being cut off was just laziness and fear creeping in. Sometimes I get too afraid to challenge myself. I had a cool arm pose for Skorch and chicken shitted out. Have to work on it. I also ran into that eventually it has to get done and I can't keep everyone waiting around on my sorry perfectionist ass. I have to work on my confidence I don't know where it went.
Thanks for the crit.

Wow! I feel like I just walked out of a scaled down version of a KISS concert.
I'm going to shoot for more actiony gestures and foreshortening. Should be interesting!

In full effect!
I have to admit, I am smitten with Coral. Something about her lack of costume....
I thnk her size is fine, but the guy next to her with the long hair has a bit of a small head. that might be what's throwing off her size.
Also, Robot Girl looks nice.

I screwed up on the tiering. Skorch, "Small Head Guy" and Coral all have the same head measurement. That's okay for Skorch and SMG because a man has a slightly larger head size so if it's the same measurement it's further in the distance. I should have adjusted and made Corals head size at least in proportion or smaller than. Oh well, part of the learning process.
Thanks for the compliment on Ballistik!
