True, they aren't as loosey goosey as before. However, your artistic subject matter seems to stay the same, both in pixel AND traditional art. You're a great artist, man. Truly, however, your skills are begging to break out of the daily regimen, of faces, heads, and male anatomy. Now, it may be true that you have other drawings that you have posted, that aren't humanoids, or Zach-faces. I'm just going on what I've seen from you lately. I kind of feel like I'm picking on you though, cause to be honest, you're very active on other art forums( punaji), artistically, it's just that I want to see something different...where my fat folks, and nakey ladies, damn it!!!
Now on to the critiques: Top face looks good, but I personally would go with the darkest color and complete the outline of the jaw with it, instead of leaving it the way it is. In fact, just scrap that retina burning red in there, and you're sure to see some improvement. I'm actually ok with the second one. I like the choice of cool colors...[new rant] in fact, that's what I like most about your pixel work. It's your choice of colors. I wish I could find and choose colors as well as you can, but I'm still stuck in the contrast dept. I would try doing some small pixel scene, or small farm scene with some of your patented colors, to get your mind away from the tired bodies, and heads you normally do...[/end rant]
Honestly though, I hope you don't think folks are being rough with you, guy. At least from my perspective, you deserve harsh crits, as you have potential to be much better...Thar's gold in them hands, boy...
