Well since it's been so long I suppose I'll go ahead and make a reservia branch of this.
Same deal as the main forum one (Post original characters, get critiques and ideas, so forth). Lemme know if you were in it so I can list you in case I forget.

Members:
1. Spamus
2. Flynn

Still in, and still interested. I need to get some motivation back to do something.

Would me yelling at you in bold red letters help?

what the hell is this?

Isn't this the thread where people post their original character ideas? It's foine imo

Exactly. Sorry, I probably should have posted the whole explaination from the original forum, but I was lazy and figured the only people who'd bother to post in this would be the ones who posted in the first one.

I suppose I'll try and kick start this a bit with two things I drew this week. A villian type character and a weird Autobot/Gundam Robot thing.

Ooh, I like your character design. His evil-grin frontal is absolutely stunning. :'D

Just work on your hands--the only advice I can give you here is to practice (and I feel obligated to throw in one of my ROTC instructor's favorite sayings: practice doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.).

But speaking of perfect hands, we scroll down... Truly enviable, if you ask me. It's hard to get fingers right when one of them is dead-on and the rest have to turn away on either side. The rest of him matches; you've really got foreshortening down (his leg! Dear god, I'd never be able to pull that off) for mechs. The only thing I see off is the little fins on his gun; the bottom few stick off kind of weird.

Anyway... wait, that was awkward. I was trying to critique the guy first, but... oh well. Resuming:

His arm is a little funny--from his elbow down should be rotated inward a little more. Same thing with his leg on the same side; it's almost centered to the viewer where it should be tilted in a little more. It's not impossible to stand like that, of course, just somewhat unnatural. Plus it doesn't help that running out of room on the paper can throw you off even when you know what you need to do.

...lol sorry, I didn't mean to ramble that much.

Paper space kills me usually. Thanks a ton for the critiques, and by all means rambling is very much loved.

I dunno why, but that guy gave me more trouble than usual with his stance. I couldn't seem to get him rotated right at any joint. Also, I actually stand like that, so my characters tend to do it too.

Anddddddd here's mine again. Drawn of course by Spamus.

I'll join, again. And I'll have a sketch or two of some headshots of characters I'm using for a story friendly-competition thing I'm in.

Really like the character, Flynn! Spamus did a great job drawing her. The only critique I have for it is that her face seems a little off; the right side, mostly. That face angle is difficult to work with.
She seems like a bubbly kind of girl. Is she going to have a bright colour scheme or a dark one? Or neutral?

All I know is she has white hair with some strands of brown in it. And that apparently she has periods of...erm, less than bubbly. Also, I added you to the list, thanks for reminding me.
