That's a bunch of requests. Mind if I help out?

It's getting better, I really like coloring of the water :)
But
some of the highlights on the blue-haired girl look a bit random, try to find a common light source and stick to it.
Maybe try to blend the shading a little and use softer colors, the pure white makes it look like they're made out of plastic.

Do you use markers to color? If so, I understand it's hard to blend colors. It'll probably also limit your color pallet drastically
If you're not a big fan of coloring your art digitally, I can suggest water-coloring.

The changes I made for pointing out the benefit of blending and having a broader color pallet are done in Photoshop, but you can do pretty much the same in GIMP (which is free software):
- Highlights made softer using a lighter version of the surrounding color with the brush
- Added some highlights where it seemed appropriate.
- Upped the contrast and changed the hue and saturation levels <-- this was a very easy way of adjusting the color pallet of the entire drawing.
- Added a smart blur filter <-- this is an easy way of hiding marker lines without losing to much sharpness of the neat line-art.

Already favorited :)
A big welcome to the art forum.

Actually the red ones are usually filled with alcohol. The more you know :)

You're welcome.

Well, it's hard to judge on the anatomy of an alien life form but maybe show some more palm on the right hand (it's left hand), it looks like his fingers are coming out of his wrist.

All of these look really good though :D . I definitely like the cigarettes on the first one.
Keep up the good work :)

Maybe if the picture'd a little more high res. I'd be a good way for me to practice some portrait drawing.
And what exactly do you mean by 'trap'? Did you mean 'tramp'?

PigeonOnAStick, you rock.

Nooo, my suit of armour. It was the only thing that was holding in that fart.

Thats hilarious.

It looks really nice. I like the transition of the cold blue to the warm red.

your figuurs are decent but try something white the faces
and keep your skechts bit clean

keep it up!

Thanks, I'll have to practice on drawing faces. I've got the tendency to draw them as vague as possible.

Here's another one. The lower right arm looks a bit small, that's the curse of drawing with colored pencils, no erasing possible. It's fun to draw in color though.
Most of these drawings are one a large A3 where I recycle any bit of space, that might explain the messiness of some of these drawings.

Draw the pope peeing in the holy water.

This may interest you:
Tutorial on bewbs!
Yours seem to have that 'solid object' look to them, as though they're inflatable balloons.

Thanks for the tutorial. It's sort of an odd angle to draw boobs in, I tried to fix it a little in Photoshop.

So pretty much this is the finished sketch, just posting it if there needs to be any last minute changes before no return( i start inking) or erasing. i have a feeling I'm going to screw this up, just need to work it in slow, no rush.

Woooaw! That's some really nice line-art. I've looked trough your other art and I've got to say, you definitely know how to shade well but somehow as soon as color gets involved, some drawings start to look a bit off.
I'm not really an expert on coloring so I'll just wish you the best luck in coloring this one.
It'll be a good exercise I guess.

i've noticed that the girl on the right seems pregnant perhaps? but her legs seem to be a little on the short side compared to her torso( if it they were not intended to be drawn that way).

Yes, I wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't sad it, the legs on the right one do seem short. I did that one without a reference (she's not supposed to look pregnant btw, that's just bad shading :p)
