Sure, give it a go!

I see somebody has taken my old number. I'm curious to see what is done with it to be honest.

I think if you'd arch his eyebrows up in towards the midle it'd convey the emoticon best... not sure though. atm they are a bit weird.

WIP (#8)
Any tips for this picture? The only one I definitely see, is that the left leg is too large, I will have that changed.

I fixed the eyebrows (sort of), and I'm till futzing around with the color. I'm not sure what I should put for the color of the face... Feedback's appreciated.

Welp, you have a mostly blue with a pop of red thing going on. I'd either suggest going for a full primary triad with a yellow face, or using a different hue of blue, maybe a small bit of red added to it. Blue and brown look pretty classic with each other, so if you'd be willing to scrap the tie color for something more harmonious, a more natural darker brown would be lovely as well. You have many options! This is good-lookin', man.

I would say work on the perspective. It looks like you drew the lines haphazardly. Use a one-point perspective and draw all of the lines to align with that, and it would look much better.

A rather disgusting-looking git that should have been disposed of ages ago.

Oh, by the by, Spags, did you think of a certain song to use yet?
Might be kinda difficult because of all the moods.

Thanks I was thinking that it was the most self-explanatory situation myself, but I liked the other two. I'm using the Rubik's cube.

Noted, changed, and looks a lot different from the original. Though I would like to say that the one-point perspective was the reason why I couldn't do it right (I was fighting the point) so I said "Screw it" and tried drawing, like you said, haphazardly. I realized the drawing I wanted to portray was actually supposed to be a three-point perspective, but I didn't know atm. Either way, I'm doing a two-point perspective now. Thank you, had I not looked-up one-point perspective, I'd never know there were multiple type of perspectives. I did know what a one-point was, but I wanted clarification, and knowledge of how I'd be able to use it without making the picture look distant (the biggest reason why I said "screw it").

So, anyone out there see any room for change on my WIP? I need to know before I start to color it.

I was actually gonna suggest you put the character behind the cube, so good going doing that without my advice! great minds think alike eh?
I'd say, to focus a bit more on the expression, just use the area in the red square (or something like that) so that his face doesn't get lost in the rest of the thing. Also; if you can keep his face/head the lightest part of the drawing, keep the cube a bit in the shadow, that would help draw the eye towards that.

If I need to make some areas darker, let me know. If I don't. . . Then I"m done.

Not bad, I'd say that the cube needs to have more shade as well as the drawing in general as it looks a little flat at the moment.

I like it. I didn't catch the smiley on the cube at first. It's a nice idea.

Wow... I guess this thread kind of went to sleep, huh... I'll be drawing some more within the week, hopefully (I'll have access to photoshop then). When's the new due date then, Spags?

May 12?... Yeah, I totally have time. At least I got one submission completely finished. I'm going to try and work on the second tonight (if I have time between my homework). I would extend the deadline to next week, perhaps--just in effort to get some really good submissions going.

I think Spags took a break to study for finals. Don't worry though, it's definitely still going to be made :)

So is this continuing? I think it's been about 10 days since the deadline, so has everyone submitted final works or are we pushing the deadline again?
I'll take a shot on whatever free number, or whatever one nobody wants, if there's still a reasonable amount of time.
