    Well, this is just a sketch of someone in a suit like thing, with a bit of a twist. I thought of the style when I was reading Air Gear and watching the Wagamama Koushinkyouku music video. Weird, right?

    Well, I'm sorta unhappy with how it turned out, especially the lower half... nine-tenths... the whole thing. Oh well. You know I suck at this, so don't be afraid to point that out, seriously, I won't be offended, I'll welcome it with open arms.

    Oh nice!It kinda reminds me of Code Geass. Great job!

    Overall, randomness can be sometimes surprising. :3

    I love it! It reminds me of Code Geass, sort of. xD
    The face kinda throws me off though.
    Other than that, It's awesome! 8D

    I know, the long arms and legs, the shape of the face, the fine and sharp edges. Are you sure you wern't watching Code Geass?

    I was reading Air Gear, I was totally there when I was doing it. She is based on Aeon Clock in most design aspects. See the crazy long coattails? Those are like his trademark. The elongated features came from me having a whole page to fill with one character. I watch Code Geass but not for like a week now. The style isn't really a new direction for me either just a general whimsical decision on my part. Anyways, I'd appreciate a few criticisms if you've got any.

    The good:
    Great Clothing - I love the coattails and the sleeves especially
    Great Body shape - like the others, it does remind me of code Geass
    Great Hair (lol)
    Good neck length and shape
    Good head shape

    The bad:
    The face -It looks a little too spaced out.

    It's not mean, I just have a reason to post things here, to get an idea of what I need to work on in the future. I know that some people here like some of what I do, but it doesn't change that it's all flawed in some way and needs correction. While I appreciate complements, it just seems like you're not even attempting to assist me when you leave comments like that.

    @AnTi: Thanks, I really hate expressions.

    I don't know...your style stays pretty consistent, your proportions stay even and like your others it is simple.
    I can't say I could criticise your work since it is too simple and consitent to be subject to bad comments, you can't really blame people for not delving into a simple piece of work.
    The only real thing I notice is the legs are a too long for it to seem proper. A good all-round piece.

    *looks at image* In my point of view, there is no problem at all.

    Great sketch in my opinion

    but the entire thing looks a bit dead because of there being no expression

    er.. by the way sorry if someone said that. i just kinda looked at the image then hit "reply"

    also even though it's a sketch
    the hands look a bit unreal.
    of course i understand that hands are a pain to draw but.. yeah they look a bit er.. "pointy"?

    The thing that bothers me a lot is the face.

    ......

    And...

    It does seem like she is 7 feet tall.

    Is she supposed to be that tall?

    Yeah, I can't do faces or hands or feet or legs or arms very well. The hands aren't supposed to be so pointy as you said but it's just easier to leave them like that.
    Out of curiosity what kind of expression would you use?

    I don't know, I just thought tall, never really considered how so. Unlike some people emotions are not a strong point of mine. *looks at everything drawn* yeah, I've never been good or passable at making an expression look anything but dazed, confused, or dead.

    Maybe... a determined kind of facial expression?

    It's really good! =D

    And yes, it reminds me of Code Geass as well... lol...

    The head seems to be a bit too small, though... Really, that's the only thing I see wrong with it. Fantastic job! :)
