You are going to have to put them in urls, hun
The [img] tag doesn't work on these forums. Just thought I'd point that out.
I'd never use a nuke in a superhero universe. You nuke a city, you kill 1.5 million people minus one. The last guy not only gets superpowers from the explosion, but ones that let him survive a nuke...and wow, is he torqued off

It's difficult to make suggestions without knowing what you can do on your own, when you're not copying something else. Your pieces are all emulations of another syle, so it's difficult to see where your OWN personal strengths and weaknesses might lie. You also mention switching from 'anime' style to 'comic' style... what about 'mysterious_flame' style?
I don't want to be mean, but I will be frank. You need a LOT of work on anatomy... it's all over the place.
This is a good site for learning the basics, you'll develop your own way of doing things eventually, but until then, the best bet is just do learn the basics and work off that.
Keep up the work, we all gotta start somewhere... keep some of those pics around and take a look at them in a year... you'll see a heck of an improvement if you stick with it
Of the 7 I like the last 2 the most, watch your limbs, you seem to be leaving out wrists and ankles. That is to say your arms stop short and then the hand begins, while your legs are too short because they almost go from the bottom of the calve straight to the heel.
Now for some positive reinforcement: Anime, good anime pays attention to detail. The loops on a pair of pants. The folds of a coat blowing in the wind. While you're expressions are down pat for it to be easily recognized as Anime, where you fail I think is in the details.
Detail is not piles and piles of overdrawing on a figure, that's clutter. I'm talking about one hand being different from the other, the left side of the head being different from the right. The arms drawn from different directions, because they can't possibly be flat and occupy the same space unless you're drawing someone prone.
These kind of things add character to your character, and it can go on and on. If you have two figures in a piece, each one should be decidingly different from the other, and not just a mirror drawing with another color hair.
Try this excersize. Draw a new figure lightly. then erase one of the arms and draw it in a different position still connected to the same body. Then erase the other arms and change that. This will keep you from drawing the same pose every time, and teach you new poses forcibly.
To go even further, you could turn the body 45 degrees, and redraw it that way. Try to rethink your perspective, so you're not always drawing the same character with different outfits. Challenge yourself, and also work with other materials, try some fine marker or pen drawings. You can't erase with those, so you're forced to think about every line and swiggle as how they connect to each other and how they build your figure.
Goodluck, that webiste above is a good start... come back and show us some more.

I feel the opposite. For example, I can't critique the hair that sticks up in that spiky manner because it wasn't YOU that made the call to draw it that way... some other artist did. I can't critique the outfit because it was some other artist that designed it.
From the first moment you picked up a pencil, you had your own style. It might not be as developed as you'd like, and you might not be making drawings with the same finish as those you copy... but you DO have a style of your own. Everyone does.
Don't step outside yourself and look for what you can label 'your style'. Just draw. Draw a lot. Draw your own creations.
Believe me, it happens a LOT earlier that you'll expect. In fact, I STILL can't see my 'style' in some of my work, but my wife says my touch just screams from my images. I just draw what I like and it happen automatically.
well actually 5 of the 7 images there are my design not my style but my design. But I understand what you mean ill find my style
