It est disturbing. It looks like a not-hand for a minute. And then after you go "foot in mouth-commentary" you wake up and see the hearts and go "ohhhhhhhhhhhh". Good eyes though. Guy seems a bit... shocked at the sudden appendix sprouting from his face though.

Appendix? Don't you mean appendage?
Anyway... Linguistic issues aside...
I'd fly to the United States of America and steal your ability to draw, but I can't afford the airfare.
Though, a few of your pictures aren't showing on my computer, particularly the ones I actually know how to draw and could comment meaningful on. But alas... I shall have to make do with admiring the rest of your artwork.

Haha, thanks Cobalt. You're the only one around here who I see regularly in this thread. Thanks a ton. :3
So ... Uh. This thing.
Spoiler
I call it "Appetite." Yeah. I am still working on it. Sort of.
Don't mention it, friend.
But this is too terrifying to make comment on.
He's hungry, oh yes, he's hungry all right- for us, AT, for all of us!
It's like a small man is trying to escape, or, failing that, a small man is failing to escape but is showing this dastardly cannibal that everything's okay with by being a heart shooter. Surely, a better man than any of us can a aspire to be.
Amazing how much your art has changed from your first post, where I thought, "Oh god.. I can do better than that."
Now looking over your stuff, I'm sort of thinking, "I.. Hope I can get that good.. Eventually". Weird how times change.
I have a little bit of criticism, but feel free to ignore me as you will, as I believe you are quite a bit better at the artistic side of life than I am right now.

This is where you went from being "alright" to "holy crap yes". That hand pose you have there, it looks simple, but I know how hard it is to draw because of the overlapping of the fingers. I know your style is more simplistic, but I would suggest adding some crease lines at the base of the mouth, to make it look like the arm is coming out from the inside, instead of just being behind the head. I also know someone who wants me to print a T-shirt for them, with this on it, so you're obviously doing something right.

A preview of something I hope to finish sometime soonish.
I would connect the lips up, or at-least the area where the two lips meet. The ears look to me like eggs with cracks in them, and the eyes are too cartoonish. That is some of the best hair I've seen in a long time, you've got it down almost perfectly, in my opinion.

Sparrows are pretty, Microns rule, and running out of space blows
I LOVE seeing pencil marks in images, so this just screams epic to me, making it hard for me to try to critique. However, I would suggest looking at the under feathers and then comparing them to the rest. They are slightly less detailed than the rest of the image, and are also at the bottom, meaning you'd expect a shadow to fall on them. The undetailed-ness of the bottom is what really bothers me though. Either way, AWESOME drawing, this one.

My life is no more! All my hard finals are over!
This is kind of dark and gothy, so I love it. My only qualm is that the blood covered hand blends into the dress behind. I suggest lightening up the red on the hand, or darkening it behind. Maybe both.

So awesome! Only problem: It looks to me as if the skeletons legs are fully fleshed out, whereas the rest of its body is all bones. It's really hard to emulate pants on a skeleton though, so I would have done the same thing.

a little something I'm still working on
The feet and legs of the lion need quite a bit of work. Lions are heavy creatures, so when they lay down, their legs don't really hang suspended like that, or even lay on each other. Rather, their legs touch the floor. So.. Like a cat, not a dog. Speaking of cats, if you have one, press its pad and inspect its paws. You'll see they're not connected, but are more like a group of stubby, inflexible fingers. Same with a lion. Also: Lions have a fifth, thumb like appendage. If you added it, the authenticity would go up.
Love the idea of this image, love the glasses and love the instrument (Though I don't really know what instruments look like, so that might be completely off. Looks good to me though). It's clear you have an imagination quite a few times more powerful than mine. Please keep exercising it. And please.. Could you take a look at my art thread when it comes up :p?

Dang.
That's really good, and a nice, total picture too; but I cannot for the life of me figure out what that darker square in the middle is supposed to be.
The darker square? It's part of a photo. That piece is from my latest art class and we had to incorporate a photo into our drawing somehow.
@AddZable: Wow. You wrote a lot. I like that. A lot. I'm not going to respond to it all because there's so much. But ...
What can I say (about my improving)? Practice, practice, practice!
Your friend wants that on a shirt? Awesome! I'd have no problems with that. I'd be interested to know more though.
You know that preview? Look down the page, mate.
You like seeing pencil marks? Huh.
I totally botched parts of that lion in a rush to finish it. My reference did have legs laying on each other though. I'm totally going to go back to that one though!
Yeah man, I totally will! No good critique can go un-returned! Or so it my motto.
As promised, the final result of the previously previewed image.

A portrait ... which, due to it's size needed to be scanned at a Kinko's where the rollers smeared the charcoal.
Also his eyes are a little too close together. Bahumbug. It looks better in person. I swear!

Just a little bit.
Great stuff, though! I always like to see other people's art; I find the things I'm no good at constantly impress me.

Anyway... The perspective on the keys is off. They look slanting.
Also, what's with the telescoping support? It's not typical.
Finally; The distance from the base of the keys to the stand for the music is a bit large. Your character would effectively have to be straining his neck to read it. Try lowering the top of the piano. And I'm not saying this very effectively, am I?

I get what you're getting at, by and large. But IDK what telescoping means in this context.
You know what a telescoping pole is? I meant like that. The support should be one solid piece of wood that can be laid flat when not in use. However, I will concede that other designs are possible.

At least your honest, Mutant. Although I should draw more females ... I am taking a figure drawing class this summer. Perhaps once that is done with.

Yeah, OK. Cool. I'm less worried about that piece, but shall I revisit it--as I plan to--I shall keep your critique in mind.
Anyway. Godzilla, King of the Monsters! Our little soldier friend from up-page has his work cut out for him.
Look at that dino; razor-sharp teeth, luscious locks of scale-hair. Does this soldiering hero think he stands a chance? What a fool. No one goes the distance when the situation is that foul; no stratagem of war will save him now. Clearly, a dead man standing.
You drew that guy sitting down before, yes? Is he wearing that cape because he has no arm there, or is that just detail-picking? In any case, the more-recent one looks much better than the other one, imo; so that means improvement! Maybe that he's not standing up is part of it; rigidity turns me off, personally.

Good working!
Thanks, Cobalt! It's always nice seeing you around here. Indeed, yes, I did draw the sitting guy before. And he's wearing a cape because of the time-period the story was set in. (I was inspired by Blackadder.) And is a sitting position not a rigid one?
Anyway! Something new.
