    I still kinda like this one, however, I'm doing a revisit on this so I need a bit of a feel for how others see this picture. Bear in mind I suck, all the time, all the time.

    Hmm... I'm getting the "two different warriors working together" wibe when seeing this. Mostly because of the poses you have chosen for each of them, how they almost lean against eachother's backs. I must say that I like where you're going with regarding the outfit designs.. Don't know if it's your intention but the dude in the back kinda looks like a Chinese duo keyblade wielding monk, the one in front looks like an European knight/guardian.

    If you have thought out the whole outfit concept for these characters, maybe draw a front/back sketch for us to see what they look like from all sides? These interest me.. Also, do you have an idea over which colours to use on the details?

    You already know my point of view regarding your skills, my crit stays the same. :>

    Okay, well their actually not friendly, I just thought this looked pretty nice. Anyways... they're both supposed to be sorta old timey military, so the knight thing isn't far off. But the monk thing throws me and so does the keyblade thing. Those are just tiger hook swords with thingies all over them and monks don't have hair.

    I do have a pretty basic concept but the knight armor design is actually supposed to be a worn by a girl in the end so I think I may have to tweak it away from what I have here. Anyways, my color sense is shot, but here's a try at it anyways. Right side dude, is red and orange mostly, those squiggle thingies are like fire-like I guess, never got farther than that. Other one is gonna be-- screw it I just can't do color, you'll never see a colored version of anything by me anyways so it's a moot point.

    Seriously, I am not amused.

    You don't suck that much. It's really good. Shading ould be useful but you're fine right now. Overall, good job.

    Thanks for the complement and suggestion.

    Here's a second view of the knight thing. I was a bit hard transferring it over to a front view after I realized how awkward looking it was. I also for some strange reason increased the length of the limbs to anatomically incorrect proportions, whatever I guess.

    Nice, I mean for a sketch.
    The concept obviously shows types of warriors, though a bit more in-depth you can see a European knight with a modern twist to the look, wielding a (VERY!) Longsword, a zweilhander i believe. While the other one looks like a mix of Chinese-Indian clothing wielding 2 very gruesome looking Hookswords (it also looks like that guy is left handed since he wields the left one pointing directly at an enemy, though I guess thats too deep)
    And I don't know about the female bit, creating females is a tough thing, I think for males, the curves and so no are not something we see alot. But I guess in the armour it would be hard to guess the gender anyway, not sure if you were aiming for that though?

    @PAW-I was going for the East and West thing you mentioned, and the guy is obviously ambidextrous if he's good enough to wield those jacked up swords with any efficacy.

    Well, I really have no idea on how to define gender with the armour, so I wasn't going for it so much as I was unable to do anything but that.
