Very nice. First and third are favorites, middle just feels a bit sloppy. Sketchier, would do better with no effects or color. Don't have a problem really with arm on first guy. Maybe get rid of strong outline between arm & body. Major problem with third one is that she looks hella mannish. It's the chin. She has a big, manly chin. From the neck down she's hot.

I agree with the comment about the third drawing (kinda manly), I actually like the second one but I would suggest no bumble bee butt ( It just doesn't suit her) get rid of that and she'll be really pretty, first one is excellent.

No one else thinks the arm looks strange on the first one? o_O;;
Well, on the note of the see through legs, that's the result of a motion blur... didnt noticed that it made the leg look faded ^^:

The second one was supposed to be some sorta forest like background. Just the sillouettes of the trees were supposed to be visable. I guess it failed, heh. The who character was sort of a rip-off of Dark Stalker's Queen Bee, but i guess the but doesnt work so well, either.

For the third---manly chin? Yeah, i agree... needs work =P

The first pic is great. There's nothing wrong with the arm, at least that I can see...

The second one is a little bit sketchy... And I think the bee-butt does look a little wierd.

The third picture is my favorite. I agree with Me that the chin looks a little manly, but aside from that :thumbs up:

More people goin super SaJun d00d.

Wow I don't se a problem with any. Although the overall design of the beegirl scares me.

His arm is a bit strange as you said, I think it's the strong dark outline and the muscle might be too bulky where the outline is.

Other than that, it's good. I thought the second one with the bee butt was interesting, because I never saw something like that before.

The perspectives on the first one are inconsistent, especially comparing his overall posture with the background. His right arm, as you mentioned, is muscled in spots where it shouldn't be. However, it is the best of the three.

Anorexic beegirl? Look at her waist, measured from the largest point on her rear to the right of her leg. Also look at how her left leg is unnaturally curved. Weird.

As has been said, portrait number three is pretty hot if you remove the guy-chin. The face is really the only thing wrong with this one, but it looks so much like a guy's face that I can only feel confused about this one overall.

Oh, and so we're clear, the coloring and shading are excellent on all of these. I don't mean to come off as overly critical on what are good pictures.

Eh. I don't see why every 'anime girl' has to be pretty in order for it to be a great drawing. Sure, it's acknowledged as a good drawing, but the manly chin somehow takes away from the quality? What if the character is supposed to be that way?

But the point is, he did draw a girl, the girl has a manly face, and the drawing looks good. I guess the question is, was the girl intended to have a 'manly' face?

At first, I picked up a tone of irony from the third picture's description, so I thought he did it on purpose. But everyone thinks that was not intentional but rather a mistake.

I'd be fine if he intended a man's face. But if he wasn't, and it was an error, than there's no reason to not be able to point out what he did wrong, and how he can fix it.

Just add some hairs to those legs.

Nothing to say about the first picture that hasn't already been said.

The bee-girl's eyes are...built the same way. Both straight at the camera even though she has her head turned, it seems. I don't know, there's no whites in the eyes so it's hard to tell.

The device on the 3rd character's head is nice, but the ear "cover" of the helmet is facing straight at me, and with the head at that angle it should be turned a bit. Then again the helmet might actually be curved that way since it does go on to wrap around to the other side, but I'm guessing otherwise (and even then, the rest of the helmet hanging off the back would seem at least somewhat out of place).

Other than that, I can dig the super-high platform shoes~
