Fry: Anatomy crits are helpful, i'll work on girlifying her more. I didn't want to give her a look that's too pretty, but don't want her to be a man either.
Joshua: that's a great edit! I like how different it looks, the palette pops out a lot more than mine, and i agree that it's more pleasant. I'm a bit timid with hue variations, still getting there, but you show it well here. I'll take it into account (though i want to keep a pale and slightly colder look, not so much pinks and purples). The anatomy on your edit is quite solid, though it strays in keeping the expression i'm going for, slightly angry/hurt, yours somehow looks happier. But it definitely helps, i'll take is as reference.
Stwelin:
The lips and chin are unnaturally long horizontally. the very edges of your lips fall roughly in the center of your eye, on a vertical line.
I durr, forgot basic anatomy. Due to accumulated rust. Joshua's edit made me see that. Thanks for the heads up
I kinda liked the lips, but since everyone's complaining, i'll rework them, maybe add another color there (or a few more). Yeah, regarding the nose being flat, it looked like it didn't pop out enough at first, i tweaked a bit and thought it ok but i'll go at it some more.
Helm: yeah, the neck thing's from the original idea for this... Initially I was going to make a portrait for a King of Spriters character, but as i went on i didn't stick to the genre style too much, and liked this outcome better. The neck is from the initial idea though, she has a long neck and bad posture. To be altered. Nice tip thar
I'll work on this some more later, and update when i get the chance. Thanks for the help and encouragement.
