The SW and WoW characters have really nice, clean, decisive linework for the most part, but your coloring and grasp of lighting needs work. For example: the troll mage in the mooncloth? A light source like the fireballs in her hands should never darken a surface it's falling on, but it is in several spots in this drawing.
I really dig the nouveau-looking Boba Fett helm.
Dog pic: Pretty good. Could definitely use a bump in the contrast department. It seems like you've done the rendering with all mid tones because there needs to be an added black element to make it really pop. Also I can't tell if the dog is supposed to have a long snout or not, but it looks like it has a flat pug face.
Fire Wow girl: Proportion wise not bad, but like most of your stuff, it's reading really flat. Don't use the thick outline thing because for something like this, it detracts from the piece. You seem like a design guy, which is cool, but your character concept art is suffering a bit for it. They seem a bit stiff and lifeless, next time get looser and sketch out some more thumbnails of dynamic poses.
Also, like you said the colors are not good. They're not bad, just by the numbers, which is not good. Blue skin, green hair, white dress, orange fire, pretty predictable stuff, and needs to be injected with some spontaneity. Colors are crazy and do crazy things when light sources are present, so the first step to coloring good is to get crazy. At least that way even if its unsuccessful, it will be different! For example if I had blue skin and orange fire hands the resulting color on the highlighted area could be lime green or anything really, not just the same color of the fire. It just looks like she has cheeto fingers the way it was rendered.
Boba: This piece is wicked cool and sharp, but it also appears extremely flat. I think it is mostly because the designs on the helmet are just sitting there within the boundaries of the lines, and not actually wrapping around the shapes that the lines represent.

nothing major, but watch the direction of the shoulders and hip. that little detail of anatomy always messes with me. the easiest way is to just lightly draw in a horizon line just so you always remember what angle youre drawing the figure from
I can kind of see a few problems with perspective (particularly between the shoulder line and the top of the chestpiece), but I honestly have no idea where you goot the idea that the hips follow that line you drew
That red line doesn't seem to follow the hipline of the character he has drawn, it starts well below the belt and ends up well above it on the other side; I think you're seeing some perspective issues that aren't necessarily there. I think there are some issues with perspective, but I think you may be exaggerating or inventing some with that drawover WCK
Karbacca, personally I think your vector designs look WAY more polished (as squidbunny said); I think the main thing that is keeping me from finding your regular linework as appealing is the lack of line width variation
Two thing I reckon you could work on with your linework:
- Vary the linewidth within your drawings; drawing everything at the same width can make it very uninteresting; if there is no variation, then the eye isn't drawn to anything.
- Remove the thick outlines from the silhouettes of the characters! They look weird and completely unnatural; the detail and nuance in your art may as well not be there if the main thing that stands out is a thick, cartoonish outline around your figures!

Welcome to the AC!
I like the sketch though, even though she has impossible hips, shes got character.

people ,generally speaking, write about what they know.
And if all they know is geekery, part-timing in a soul destroying job or going to uni/college/school, it would be very hard to write about something that has NOT been done before.
But I would avoid anything with "Geek" in the title.
I agree. The out and out "geek webcomic" niche has been filled; over filled. It has been done before and done very well so even if you can do better it will be very difficult to break into the scene and get noticed.
This face impressed me so much I think!
why did you think of that though.
why would you think of that.

The background texture isn’t working at all. drop it.
Heres a adjustment in photoshop. i filtered out some green and added blue in the colour balance option in photoshop. Are you viewing it on a laptop screen or something?
i dont know what others think, but i think it solves a few probs
fix up that boobie too
If that's what you were aiming for;
But I would flesh out the rest of the figure, cutting it off at the massive breasts over-emphasizes the massive breasts. And lose the epic nipple, it's fuggin creepy. The colouring isn't awful if you're aiming for that over-saturated WoW look.
Well it is a goblin from Warcraft.
