Investigate composition, like the fibonacci spiral or whatever it's called
Also, if you want more serious criticism, don't draw blobular people. Try something that looks like you're trying to improve rather than resort to the easiest option or a "style."

Thats whats on the web page. But I didn't think it would look good on the logo.

Thats the sort of thing you'd put in a sheet of ideas [like TOAS suggested] to compare better. Things don't tend to turn out how you think they will

people who are speaking against mspaint have clearly not seen what it's capable of in the right hands. Same to be said for a mouse.

A bad workman always blames his tools ; )

Doesn't look dynamic at all; looks like he's sort of walking/falling but the background makes it look like he should be flying. No idea what's going on with the shading with all that glow going on either. The blue glow would be reflected in his yellow clothes

nice, but the anatomy could use a lot of work. Not gonna go into great detail about this, but for example the top left bloke's head looks slightly deformed, and the guy on the right's arms just look odd; looks like he's got his hands shoved into his armpits

If you're planning on improving by internet crit, a scanner would be a worthy investment

looks decent but it's not the most interesting pose. Try another but with the cat looking at the viewer or something; at the moment it's the sort of thing you'd glance over and not pay much attention to.

In addition to what's been said; use a limited colour palette, like 3 colours that go nicely together or something. this'll also help in designing the thread

the way you've shaded just makes the colours look grimy :/
just paint darker tones of the same colour, and don't go using any smudge/burn/etc. tools! Never looks good unless you know how to use them effectively

The gun looks like a gun to me, so it should be fine
If you're wanting help drawing 'em, best thing to do is study 'em.

First one looks pretty cool; would look great if it was inked up. very tattooey ; )

There should be a guide for how to receive crit. the number of times people have made asses of themselves after getting an honest opinion

they look really messy, there's not much definition or form in either of them from what i can make out
I like the idea of using bright colours though : )

the perspective is off. his feet are unbalanced and his left hand gun thing should be bigger cause it's closer to the viewer

what kind of teenage girls have you seen?

BHV why doesn't he have any limbs?
you should try to have a good grasp of english before trying to use it on forums like this

only thing is to do some anatomy study
[suspiciously the boobs are the most realistic... ]

the artwork is so cool! but i think calling them ___chan sounds a bit forced as though you're trying too hard or something; doesn't come across so good

I used chan to evade copyright claims. And thank you! It's very appreciated. Although the cover looks awkward.

haha, thats some obscure copyrighting!
maybe try splitting the cover down the middle, with the girl thats gonna be alone looking all sad, and the other just minding her business, if thats appropriate to the plot of course : )

Done for a kid who did not know the anatomy of a frickin cat. And to make fun of kids with original characters and fursonas. Oh and this kid copyrighted skull colours and the colour black. Yeah. You heard me right.

should put something in the bubble along with/instead of the 'help' text; looks a bit lonely as it is at the moment.
cat is cute though, makes me want to stroke it...

throw up in it, chuck it on the wall and watch it burn an escape route through the wall

offer the guard your LUCKY SHEEP COCK in return for letting you out

some anatomy studying would do wonders ; )

It's not being conveyed very well if you have to keep explaining what your intentions are :/

just practise drawing with the wacom and you'll get used to it : )

personally i can't see how anyone can properly critique this drawing; it looks more like a doodle than an actual art piece.

what sort of style are you going for? cartoony or realistic?
the perspective looks off, like at the end of the barrel [circly bit] should be more like an oval, and generally it's looking pretty 2d
looks a good design though : )

try restoring?

looks really good; don't think you could really improve on that. Got anything else like this?

looks cool; what silversunned says just about sums it up. try experimenting with line weight too

It's a set of before and after shots.

The hell? Why do all the after shots like there was less of a tsunami and more like an inferno?

it's because gas pipes get damaged and electrical items and water don't mix well, so fires start.
what soconfused said is right, though. They even have earthquake drills and so on, so they should be pretty prepared. I think the tsunami has done most of the damage

How likely do you guys think the san andreas fault is gonna be affected by this, since they haven't had a shift in a long time and it's expected to be pretty big?
