And for the first thingy to post up, I'd like to show off the semi-not-too-crappy character sketches for Children of the Sky.

I haven't had much experience with non-human characters, but more or less, there are several things I know should be improved on, but go ahead and point out what you guys see, `cause you may see something I didn't notice.

The pictures are too big. How many dpi are you scanning them at?

First pic: The face is nice, and I especially like your style with the eyes.
The neck, however, is another story. Maybe he is part giraffe, but the thickness + length bothers me some. Poor freak of nature.

Second pic: Again, I love your character's eyes. His eyebrows screamed THE MONARCH! The wings didn't feel right. Are feathers supposed to be rubbed that way? They almost look like scales. It's like you drew the wing and filled it in with feathers. You can try building the wing with the feathers, if you want.

Third pic: The clothes in this are quite appealing. I always loved the trench coat tails look (for lack of a better term).You might excel in fashion design, George. XD

Fourth pic: Rabbit... Hmmm. Very distinguished looking, my friend. Big grin
Although Rabbit looks a bit more like a wingless dragon to me.

Fifth pic: The look on his face is awsome. The clothes also look appealing. This pic takes the cake, man. Such a small gun though... Haha. Bravado much?

Sixth pic: Chew on this! Interesting tail... I think. Too bright to tell for sure. His feet look a little too boxy. I've noticed how boxy the feet look on a good portion of these characters. Heavy duty boots maybe. Other than that, this character design is pretty nice.

Seventh pic: This picture lacks interest. The clothing is too bland, the hair style is ok, but rehashed more than the previous pics, and her expression is uninteresting. Maybe giving her a battle pose or some kind of action pose (healer?) will help with her display.

Eighth pic: This fellow is leaning back a little, or so it appears. This is a GOOD thing. I like the sence of depth I get from it all. I also see that you did some more clothing folds down in the skirt (excuse me for lack of a better term).

Overall, I like the concept. This should be a good character development base. And I absolutely can't wait to see the finished product. Especially with all the music.

Okay, firstly, I'm getting a lot of say on the necks. That seems to be where I fall apart. XP

Secondly, I'm going to definitely have to resize, since that WAS the lowest DPI that I scanned it at.

Thirdly, I'll admit that I was never too good with clothing folds.

Celia and Haley are not combatants in this game. They are secondary characters. And I know her dress looks bland, I thought it kinda sucked too, but seeing as she was my second female character altogether that I've drawn on paper, I much more liked how I actually got her face right.
Haley is supposed to be Celia's son, so even though he is taller according to the perspective I drew him in, you should be able to tell from his face that he's a kid.....I hope.

Anyway, thanks for the criticism. I need it.

I have to agree with the fact that the pics are too big. Try MS WORD for resizing. I normally use it. It works great.

I've resized them, but haven't had the time to upload them just yet, but here's another one I scanned this morning:

On the contrary. Photoshop tends to work best for resizing. The general outcry for making the image darker still holds. Also, his left (as in my right) arm seems to be too short.

I used Photoshop to resize it in the end.

Hm. The neck is better. Keep up the capital job, Setu.

PS: *Bash* The kimono looks sort of filled in, especially in the lower region. When I say filled in, I mean it seems like you did the outline first and then put the details inside the lines. Though, for a quick sketch, that is very good.
And the upper part has a lot more texture, which is nice.

I couldn't help but notice that he reminds me of Machu, for some odd reason...
