The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I think that perhaps the shades of colours in your flesh tone could be a little more dynamic, and a little less plain shades of brown. They seem lifeless in contrast to your animated style. The colours you have on the crinkly last picture are good though, reds and blues, very lively.
If you want a crit....the best I can say is that in a couple of your drawings, the arms are slightly different lengths, or they are the same length, but the forearm is longer in one and the upper arm shorter than the other.
I think you draw very nicely and have a grasp on several different styles.
I think my crit would center around the fabrics of the man's sleeves in the first picture. I like everything else about the picture, but as far as clothing goes, it will fall against the skin whenever possible, especially when gravity is pulling it. You have a strong understanding of folds, it just looks like his arm is wavy, distorting the fabric.
In the first picture, the big man's hands look a bit small compared to his head. This could have been by choice, as it's a wacky picture, but it looks a little strange?
Overall though I like the picture. My favorites are the skeleton, the pandallama, and the drunken loch ness monster. Nice stuff!
I love that freaking YUM picture. That man knows delicious.
My single point is that he noses seems exaggerated in a lot of the pictures. It seems to be obvious (meaning I'm sure you're aware of it), but in several pictures it really drew away from the rest of the face and it was all I could stare at.
That being said, I definitely like the cartoon style you have. YUM!

#2 and the drunk guy.
But maybe it's all optical illusion.
Really good work though, srsly.

Virum: Will take note on the arm lengths. I didn't even notice it. thanks!
Ffilyaw: Bleh, you're right. Now all I see is a wavy arm. I'll be sure to pay more attention to where the fabrics land though. So, 'tanks!
Lyrium: Yeaaah, I have a tendency to make hands either too big or too small. Thanks for pointing it out though!
