    I knew I got on the intronets tonight for a reason.

    Your style is totally boss and I love the quality of your sketchwork, but your female torsoes are falling a bit short. Generally speaking, it's the boobs in particular that are bothering me, and surprisingly enough it's not because they're pointy. They just feel like they have no weight to them--even A-cups aren't immune to the tug of gravity.

    Velma's bug me the most what with her boobs sitting so unnaturally high on her chest. Dropping them a bit lower would do wonders. And while we're on the topic of that drawing, the width of her ribcage is throwing me off too. It get's reeeeally thick there under her armpit. So while you're giving her a boob job, downsizing her humpback a bit probably wouldn't hurt either.

    Other than that, you're stuff is ace. I love the go-go-go dance and that blood donor guy, and I really dig what you've got started there in the third one down from the top.

    YOU KEEP POSTING HERE WHY NOT :D

    Your poses are very dynamic, which rocks.

    What the hell's up with your myspace page, though? It's really great except for those huge, repeated self-portraits at the top. Fucks with the composition.

    Yep, some nice stuff. Pretty plastic. My favorite is the cemetary-thingie, even though the zombie guys arms look far too short.
    And the right hand of pinup1sh5.jpg seems to be a left one.

    Keep more stuff coming ^^

    I agree with the above, nice style and great flow and all. :) Aside from the boob issue already mentioned, some of the arms are a bit funky. Velma's right arm (our left) just seems like it's stuck on funny, like she has no shoulder and what Ape said, the right hand is a left hand. The first drawing too, his arm's coming out of the sleeve at an angle yet I don't get the impression from his shoulder that it should be coming out from that angle (he'd be having a pretty funky shoulder in that case). (I do like that first drawing best of all, well.. except for the tiny little Navi in it, argh :P)

    Cool shtuff. I really like the Velma one. I think proportions could be an issue though. Maybe the legs are too small? I'd like to see some more full bodies. Also, are you avoiding the hands? Most of them look unfinished. Same problem with me, heh. Just try not to make them look broken.

    Favorite = Monster Fist. That is just COOL. I'm not sure if that's yours, or if it's an actual comic or something, but regardless, you drew it uber well. And I actually really like the repeating picture on your MySpace page - mostly for the intertwining arms, actually. If you just had a bunch of intertwining arms like that, that'd be awesome.

    As an aside - I just watched Battle Royale for the first time (never even heard of it) last night - and now I see this sketch of yours.

    Strange world, no?

    EDIT:

    I just have to add - I realised that I really really love how it seems (to me) that you're mixing western and eastern influences here. I see lots of anime, but I also see american comic books. Monster Fist reminds me of Hell Boy.

    Monster Fist's smaller arm looks real... small. Short. It's like his shoulder is a feet lower than it should be.

    I think I like that guy catching the bus/train/pole best for some reason. A cool dynamic stuff and you can almost taste the oh-shi!-off-balance.

    Well... that and the graveyard camper. :)

    neat style however your myspace page layout is far too busy.
    i don't like myspace to begin with, but if i went to your page, i'd probably just get confused, then angry, then i'd realize i'm getting angry about a myspace page layout and i'd probably laugh.

    I don't like the font you used on the magazine. It looks unprofessional and hard to read. You have to read it slowly in order to soak it in.

    It's fine on your reviews page, but it's NOT fine on your front cover and contents page.

    EDIT: But other then that it looks professional.

    EDIT 2: Oh, and those "info" boxes that overlap the picture look like crap. The little light purple ones. Try and fix that.

    EDIT 3: And fix your boarders, because right now one side is bigger then the other, and they look lop-sided.

    EDIT 4: Heh, I keep remembering things. Make sure your text is alligned properly so it's not directly on the EDGE of the paper, make sure it has enough room for bleed. Make the text go in an inch or so from the edge. Never put it that close to the page. You also have to fix it so words are NEVER left on a new page when there are just two of them. Space them out so the new page starts with a new paragraph or make sure to---I hate explaining things. Take a typography class! Ahhh! It's hard to explain, but you always have to make your text --- uhhh, brb I'm going to make some lunch.

    everything that crunchy said is true.

    also, you should make the text fully justified on the right and left, and i'd like to see the text wrap around the curve of the character's arm, not just the bounding box of it.

    I had to do it for an Interpersonal Communications class. I was pulling the typography and design out of my ass as I have no training in the matter.

    I've already turned it in. But I'll keep what you've said in mind for any future projects and maybe I'll fix up these ones.
