moojuice: thanks :)

so been a long time, lots of crazy stuff happening for me. I was on working holiday in norway, and then scrambled to finish a bunch of freelance work, and then hopped a plane from Oslo, Norway to New York City, and then ran around NYC until I got my chinese visa, then tok a 6 hour bus to Boston, Massachusetts..then 1 hour train to a friend's place. Slept at my friend's house then 1 hr train, and 2 hour bus to my parents house. Unpacked my suitcases, repacked my suitcases, and the next day had 18 hours of flying time to Shanghai, China.

I was living in a hotel for 2 weeks, then I was living on a couch...Now I am living in my very own apartment, with one hell of a view.

Now that I'm getting settled, I need to get back on track :( here's some chars I did for ironhelmet games..

With your gestures really try to exaggerate the thrusts of the torso and arms, a little exaggeration in certain areas tends to breathe life into a life drawing when needed:)

You can always use curves on adjustment layer to play around with getting more contrast to give them a little bit more dimensionality.

these are both from mini challenges with some friends.

the challenge was 10 creatures in 1 hour. It was a lot harder than I thought, but real fun!!
The first set I did in 40 minutes, and the 2nd one I had the full hour, so I relaxed and got caught! I think overall I had better designs on the 2nd one tho.

Its good to see your process and how you develop a character. Really liking the beastie, nothing to crit.

Try to avoid having the same edges in both the sky and ground. At the moment the sky and ground are both rendered exactly the same so they appear flat and on the same plane. Try using softer edges on the sky, and harder edges in the ground. Also don't add much texture to the sky, skies are far cleaner then the ground unless you are wanting to focus on a major cloud front coming.

Sorry no time for a paint over atm, I will try to do some later.

Although the whole image itself is really saturated, there arnt enough greyish light values in the background to really bring the chick into the foreground. Always a really nice use of colour:)
