I think your art rocks the way it is, but I overcritical of myself too.
Thanks, but my art as it was didn't cut it for me. I always wanted to do comic book esque stuff, and this is the next step for me. My old art was okay, but I think this is a great improvement.
I don't know what else I can say but...Wow! That is better then what I can do....Infact, I think anyone here could beat me hands down.
If you want some critic, the only things I would suggest is that you make her look like she's not leaning against air. Also, I feel her arms and legs are a little bit too long. Other then that, you a great artist!
As for the bet...As soon as he see this thread.

I haven't seen TA around much lately. Isn't he moving to CA right now?

Nice, the sword reminds me a little of Ashkandi, Greatsword of the Brotherhood.
Very nice! 
I think she's tilted backwards a bit, though.
Aww, no TA? 
Anyways, thanks for the compliments. And as for the tilt, my scanner has a tendancy to bend the paper as it scans it. I need a laser scanner...
I have a new picture I'll upload soon.
Oh, and yes, I'll be drawing TA anyways just because. *waits for TA to show up at the sound of art*
It's not the scanner, it's that she's tilted backwards, and the sword is not.

Hmm, your right. I'll have to fix that. Thanks.
I love the detail (like crimps and curls in the clothing, etc..)
my only real suggestion... is the pose.
its not dynamic at all :-/
I dont know what you're art looked like before (sorry) so I cant comment on "how much its improved"...
but I think all the "detail quality" is there in this picture... the only thing missing is the sense of action, of motion... of potential and kenetic energy...
...but make no mistake, I think its great work, and far better than what I can acomplish.

As I understand it, this was experimentation with his style, of how his characters should look. It's easier to redesign a character/change styles when they're just standing there, like one of my Derek pics.
As I work on other projects, here is another taste of my new style.
Coldfire
yea, I really like the style... I like the subtle deformation, and all the "rumple" detail on the baggy clothing..
Woa thats cool!
And yet more floods in.
This isn't a rehashed Becky, it's a completely different sketch. I'm just experimenting with her clothing and hair. I like this one a lot better though.
Thanks for all the compliments guys.
You're doing really well, but I have one comment that might help.
Get a t-square, this can be easily made with two rulers. Draw a light line straight down and use this as a guide to keep your figures straight. I had to do this a lot when I started out because I was doing the same thing. I'd correct it visually by putting in backgrounds where the characters were leaning on things like walls, but I'm just horrid with backgrounds.

I've noticed that when I draw I never draw straight, there is always a tilt to the picture, that'll probably help a lot.
Or at least I think I am...
This pose is taken directly from the CoH comic just so you guys know. I took the pose and used it to get a more comic booky feel to Becky. I think that she generally looks stronger and she has a more adult look to her. I've been trying for a while to get a good comic book style going, and I think I finally got it.
Any suggestions are welcome, I want this to come out well.
