If you follow the leg up into the clothing, you'll find some severe anatomical issues. Ahem - what I mean is that the legs seem to form a triangle that connects to the body to the left of the torso.

Thanks guys. I certainly did not see any of these errors when I was drawing it.

I suggest you draw the body, then the clothes over that.

Julien, yeah, the biggest issue is anatomy. I suggest you use a reference. Which I almost never do, but which would be a really good idea. As for scar tissue, it starts as clotted blood and eventually heals into a bump in your skin that's maybe slightly different  color from the surroundings. Some directional light might help there. Use shadows to emphasize it.

Soad, you have doodles of greatness. Is the girl with glasses from somewhere else like Spy is?

The one at the top? He's Razputin, crudely drawn from memory. And thanks. :)

Um, I dont know if this is the right place for these but images and comments say it might be.

I'm not to skilled with this, their suppose to be landscapes of flat plains with objects in the distance.

@rarborman

They really need some contrast, right now it's a blizzard and somewhere with a very dark night.Throw in some more colors and shadows and perhaps define that rock (is it a rock?) in the first image a bit more, give it a shadow, stick it to the ground, right now it seems like it's floating

[Facepalm]Totally missed that fifth element reference.[/Facepalm]

Maybe I'll draw you up Genevieve demoness of fire, or Abscissa central intelligence for ice to make up for that.

edit:Its actually part of the bigger thing in the back, and yeah it was anchored when I first drew it but getting the ice cracks the way I liked ruined it a bit, maybe I'll add some snow texture in the mid-foreground to fix it.

Also, I wanted to make the second have some greyish rocks and shrubbery as well as a dry mud like effect for the ground but everything I tried looked off, I suck at plants and ground.

Much better, but now you have perspective issues, some still seem to be floating, especially if you consider the shadows which seem to be on a different plane than the rocks themselves, also atmospheric occulsion would make it look a lot better, those in the background should be a lot harder to see, and blend in with the surroundings more.

Also something i got after some messing around with jitter and scatter of the round brush in PS, i think i understand colored metals and their shiny effects a bit more now :)

It looks pretty good, but the right gauntlet differs from the left gauntlet in the flare at the elbow, and the blue metal forming the inside. If that was the intention, more power to you, but if not, you might want to clarify.

I decided to post these thingies I have made in five minutes each before classes, since I find some of them quite amusing. I'm going to edit them into this post as I upload them. And I can't do anything about the white boxes, it's where the palette lies. Sorry.

Okay, my phone's browser's starting to crash, I'll do the rest tomorrow. Or something.

Why did you save that as a 24-bit JPEG file!? >:O You're using like seven colours! FOUR BITS gives you eight! And instead of lossless PNG compression, you save it in fucking JPEG, putting artifacts everywhere! ARGHARGHARGH! D:<

Sorry, this in one of my humorous and quirky pet peeves. I should probably make a TTT-style whine thread about it. :P

It's the phone. Nothing can be done about it, sorry about that too.

Phone? Then you're excused. :P

Well, I kind of think you should pick a less restricting medium.
