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.
Overall its pretty nifty, but the pose is kinda bleh. The blade is comming from the middle of the hand, and it looks like he's drawing things into his other hand with the blade because his eyes are looking in that direction.
Not sure what that is supposed to mean tbh but it isn't really relevant (assuming it's meant as a flame for newbs). The art is pretty decent. What Aumni has said is true. You also need to work on your line quality/confidence some, but the character is interesting. And the cloth detail is very nice. Welcome to the board.
I think the photo-people are fucking around because it's actually just a doodle and you haven't expressed the will to work on it further based on our input (like inking/colouring it).
And this kind of work usually goes to the Doodle thread.
EDIT: THESE ARE CRITS FOR THE FIRST IMAGE! THE SECOND ONE IS TOTAL SHIT!
Asides from that, you have pretty good anathomy knowledge and an interesting linework.
My only crit: the folds around the shoulders indicate, that he has large holes haping in the muscles. You should work on that.
Welcome to the forums.
And, so that I don't feal out of place: FUCK YOU, JERK!!!
I don't have much merit here as I just recently started posting and have yet to post any artwork of my own, but I can offer up my own observations to chew on...
pic1: the drawing is decent but I can't tell what he's doing - there is no environment so it looks funny - it seems there is a scene to go with your guy but since it's missing, it's hard to figure out what's going on. With the art itself, his torso looks too flat and the fabric looks decent but not totally correct. It seems way too rigid - same with his gotee. Last thing for now, his left thumb is way too long - pretend to hold a sword yourself and look where your thumb tip ends
pic2: mostly good except for 2 glaring issues... his head is way too high above his torso and his lats are crazy huge... and his lower body is way out of proportion to his upper and he seems to have completely lost his pelvis.
The first one is not bad. Interesting looking character. The anatomy isn't too bad. Not great. The hands and lower legs need the most work.
But the anatomy on the second one is preposterous. head is lopsided. hands are pretty bad. pelvis area is really whacked. the legs are all kinds of deformed. either use some referrences next time, or try and pay more attention to shapes and proportions.
i agree on the drunken guy, but the other ones legs look fine to me...
so where is this Battle Thread ?
Battle thread is convienently located in scenic over here
As for the art, first one is pretty good. Second one, bad anatomy as mentioned before. Now when I look at that one I don't think "drunk" right away. I see a guy who just pissed himself. Granted, my next conclusion from there is "...because he's drunk." but the puddle and crossed legs make me go to that sad place first.

"For a man who looks like a garden gnome, you sure have a lot of demands."
The pose seems awkward, the way his body, face and legs all seem to be pointing slightly different directions.
Try covering up his legs with your hand and looking only at the top half, he appears to be leaning back while if you look just at his legs they indicate he is standing more or less erect. compare his shoulders to his hips.
The chest plate doesn't seem to indicate he has a chest or collar bone, it seems to go straight down from his neck. I can't tell if his right leg is closer or farther than his left but either one seems like it would require moving some of the strap things on his skirt to a more dynamic position to indicate the location of his thigh.
I really like your line quality and the way you draw straps.

I really like these actually. Maybe just a few adjustments in the poses.
You're welcome, SHITHEAD!!
Seriously, download GIMP for resizing this shit or something. The jpeg artifacts border on being offensive.

It's true!
Yeah, the legs are waaaaaaaay too short. Also, the upper body looks very stiff, in contrast to the drunkenly-loose legs.
The first one is not bad. Interesting looking character. The anatomy isn't too bad. Not great. The hands and lower legs need the most work.

my mommy LIKES my drawings !!!!
ok, thanks fo the crits...
NOW SHUT UP AND GET YOURSELF SOME GIMP!
(that was for dr.Pain)
This guys is cut out for the Battle Tourney I think. Cool characters just needs some anatomy and refinement work to put them into action.
its in there somewhere. but im not sure witch link it is.

Enjoy and stop pirating, fuckers.
Yeah, it would be pretty cool to have an actual fencer in the BT. Consider yourself invited, bitch-hole.
Why all the dashes-?
Also, we have too many Doctors now and none of them can prescribe me meds.

Nothing else to say.

Check out my art! Buy some prints!
if you did that you woulda caught some of the proportion problems with the forearms, hands, feet and legs.
