I can see them fine.
The shading and detailing is a bit overlysimplistic, but they're all easily recognisable.
Would have been nice if you'd not simply recoloured Optimus Prime to make Ultramagnus.
I know that in the toyline he was originally a repaint, but he was later given a unique design.

Their poses could be uh, less stiff, more contrast and just better looking colors. I get the feeling huZba's gonna be in this thread soon.

Just out of interest:


I quite like the simplistic nature of them, I don't mind the pose, they're almost 'trophy like'.

I do have an issue with some of the lines though, they're a bit clunky in places, and a bit of anti alias here and ther wouldn't go amiss...

Inconsistent perspective. Each element is suggesting a different eye level which makes them look a bit wonky and as if they're falling back or sitting. Also i don't get the arm position, unless they're supposed to be holding weapons. Chest and head look like the eye level is behind them, waist and pedestal suggest above knees, knees read as if the level was below knees and ankles are telling it's above ankles.

Perspective errors are very evident because they have a boxy construction. Transformers' feet can be a bit tricky and you have two options. Either warp the feet at the ankles or give them more detail to add in a joint at the ankle. In G1 comics Geoff Senior did more warping to stand the characters' feet level on surfaces while Andrew Wildman attempted to keep a solid construction with the characters and at times the feet weren't level with the ground (if they didn't have ankles, like powermaster prime and grimlock).

Here's something to illustrate the perspective you're after. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v697/huzba/transformers/starscream1.jpg)
The line is the eye level.

-edit-
Oh right, almost forgot. How about you make one completely new one while keeping an eye on the perspective and then everyone can help on that. It's a bit hard to critique a lot of stuff at once. Keep it up, i really like these.

what's the point in us C&C'ing them if you don't listen...?! :yell:

I STILL don't see any anti alias... and absolutley NOTHING from what huZba had to say has been even attempted or commented on...


...pointless commenting really. :B  ::)

Well I don't see anywhere where he asked for comments or suggestions ... so ... it's certainly his right to either ignore them or choose not to use any critiques.

Thank u for ur advices above, i'm so sorry to let u think that i ignored these, but for my poor foreign language, i could't get all the critiques understood.

I have knew that there was some mistakes with the perspective, but it's a huge work to modify all them for me. i drew these works only for pleasure in my short leisure time, so i would like to paint a new transformer rather than to edit the old. i like to make the  style identical, also include the mistakes.

ah, yep, these r not wip, but really thank all of u for the excellent suggestions and i will remember them when i drew with another series.=P
