Alrighty, so I've been away for a while (practicing 3D modelling, graduation, moving preparations, student loans, blah blah blah) And I've been trying a few different mediums and I've worked on my stances, still having trouble with real drawings (practicing though! just a little embarrassed to post any for you!) And I just bought an anatomy book... interesting stuff... so uh... here we go!
1)

yes, another birdie~ favourite kind of animal haha
2)

I just wanted to practice colouring... then I came up with this freaky thing... I don't really like it but I like the colours...
3)

Uh, so this is supposed to be Shou from the band Alice Nine. I drew it because I thought he would look excellent in this outfit I designed for a different character...
4)

I bought manga pens and I decided to use them, they make beautiful lines
, I coloured it on Photoshop... (like my little stamp? ^_^ I think it's cute haha)
5)

*sigh* a Fan art of Final Fantasy 11, it's supposed to be a Beast Master Mithra... Bah >.>
6)

I drew this one just now... This is what happens when I'm bored~ Art!

Sorry for the obnoxiously long post... Missed you guys~ uh... And don't worry my realism is going to get better! Working on landscaping tomorrow though! hope you enjoy it... it seems that the art forum has been a little dead recently...

Incredible!

...

Ok, my moment of speechlessness is over.

I would really love artists like you on my concept design team. That freaky thing is just GREAT. You may not like it, but I LOVE it.
The human characters are awesome as well. What can I say to help you out? The proportions are spot on, the detail is great. Reminds me of concept art drawn by the SquareEnix team. I'm not bluffing! Be as humble as you want, I like humility, but you truly deserve a pat on the back at the very least.

Do you have any work that concentrates on textures, shading textures, and effects such as metallic effects? I would love to see more work on those details. Happy

Wow! That Alien Fairy is amazing.

Hey, have you ever tried drawing a short set of animation frames for one of these characters?

I actually want to be a Concept artist

, thats what I'm going to school for in October! Along side learning 3D modelling and animation skills!
Hmmm~ actually I've never really tried animation frames... I think I'll
practice that next! Probably with facial expressions first then body movements (gotta start little)!
But for right now another picture that I just finished, my brother worked at a video games store at one point and got Xenosaga III's art book... and I always adored COS-MOS so... here we go~!

Well-e-well then. I'll talk with some of my associates and we will see if we can't get you a little practical experience in the field while you study.
If Facets Of The Throne takes off in the big way we expect it to, it would be a great addition to any artist's resume.

Gosh, I'm sorry for all my posting, I've been hobbled up in my house for a week and I had nothing to do besides Video Games, Computer, drawing, or watering the garden... Well since I get bored of the first 2 and the last get done in a half hour I am left with drawing. So Here we go, I drew you all a friendly robot, one to which I will colour later, probably red or off greeny colour... not sure!

Wow, I coloured it fast... I'll probably do it by hand later too, this is just to give me an idea of the colours...

(OMGosh, it looks like a Digimon =_=)

The line art is excellent. Very professional.
The coloring was probably done a little too fast. You did stay inside the lines, of course. The shadows are a bit unrealistic, though.
Work on the textures and the metallic areas. The chest is what you want to go for throughout.
