Very awesome, looks like it must've taken ages. I like Flame and Karen the best of the lot

I too am willing to give anatomy pointers if you'd like. And point out where you're already doing well, of course

It... -did- take ages! And pointers are very welcomed, thanks.

In the spirit of constructive critique, then, I have noticed that you tend to draw very narrow shoulders, which can also lead to narrow torsos. It's clear from the less clothe-ed characters here (Secret, for example) that you've got the parts down- neck's good, armpit/booby area is generally spot on, etc.- it's just the proportions between them that can be a bit skewed. I'm not an expert, but I found a [link] with a few anatomy rules about the shoulder area (and some other stuff I didn't entirely read) that might help.

That said, I've always admired that you keep challenging yourself in terms of composition, poses, backgrounds... I should really take a page from your book and try to be a bit more varied when posing my characters ^__^;

Thanks hun My Josh said, awhile back, that he'd really admire it if I tried something new with things, since I'd only ever done "poses" for character design until then. Since, I've been trying to work on at least more interesting poses, and more active lines when I can, since he's the one I want to make proudest.

Thanks for the help!

I like the feel you were going for and the colors and such! You've really improved since you first started posting your stuff. You're starting to use different poses and your faces are more expressive, I think my favorite one here is Ben. He looks like he's going, "Hell yeah I'm an evil dick, and I LIKE IT."

If you'd like I could leave some anatomy pointers that might help you in future projects, since there's always room for further improvement.

Yeah, I'm dissatisfied with this even since I posted it. There's so much that I can see that I know I could do better already. Feel free to critique... but be kind. I know which parts are bad. Also my feelings are like butterflies.

Also thank you

Tell you what, hon, I'll make up a tutorial-type thing today and post it when I'm done, that might be easier.
