those were a lot of fun, you got nothing to be worried about... i love the ink work on the second one, kind of got a nice Mike Mignola thing going on... 
Welcome to the art forum!

I like those, the first one kinda reminds me of a invincible, noble causes feel to it, and like LJ said the other two are Mingola Hellboy-ish. very nice

2nd image is my fave of the three--but there's a playfulness that comes through all of them that I like. Keep up the good work.
I think it's some very solid work, with a very amusing and energetic style to it. :3
Dunno what you're so worried about, really. I, of course, suggest more practice, if you somehow think the quality isn't up to your standards. <.< Practice does make perfect, after all.
But I like it all the same.
Those all really good.
I really love your style, and think it would be great to see colored versions of those pieces. You really should set up a DeviantArt account and show us all more of your art!
Keep up the good work.
Those are pretty good.
Dude, I like your crap.

Me too. Actually I'm kind of a hypocrite in that I've been pointedly criticizing a lot of art I see on these boards, but have constitution no more hardy than the flimsy paper stock on which I put my own art to be submitted for peer-pressured approval.
It can be a struggle to deal with that I know, but it's still important to try to find ways to break through that and get your stuff out of just your own personal space, even if you're not entirely ready or comfortable, and even if you get burned on that sometimes.

First off is a older drawing I did of my ice/ice Blaster fighting my mind/psi Dom.

As an art consumer, one of my biggest wants is pieces with internal consistency. That a style is maintained the same way in all parts of a piece, or that a meta idea holds throughout. I see this quality in this piece right off the bat. The wing feathering is the same meta-stylism as the ice sword. This may seem silly, but man does that make me happy looking at this piece. Ditto with how the styling on MJB's hair is the same as the styling on Seraphim's chest symbol and chest costume details, and so on and so forth.
I really don't care what the style actually is, so long as I can trust that the entire piece holds that same style throughout while it's trying to shape the subjects into something interesting. Thank you for posting it.
Nice work!
All are good, but I, too, like that second one best.
Encore!!

Ahem. Greetings folks! After sitting back and checking out the fine art some of the other users have been posting I thought I would show a couple of mine.
I have tons of stuff sitting around but most of them are drawings of other people's characters. Here's a couple I had handy of my toons...
First off is a older drawing I did of my ice/ice Blaster fighting my mind/psi Dom.
MJB vs Seraphim
Next is an drawing I inked of my ss/elec Brute fighting my ice/ice Blaster.
Bludlust vs MJB
Lastly is a drawing I finished about an hour ago. This one features my thugs/dark MM and my ss/elec Brute with a cameo by a caped hero. Heh.

I sketched it using a crappy no. 2 pencil and finished it with my mechanical pencils. I think it turned out ok.
Comments are appreciated.

You know that nerve-wracking thing never really ever goes away, hehe.
I always get nervous before I post something, I think if you werent nervous something would be wrong; it would mean you werent really connected to it.
What I noticed right away is that you have a story-telling aspect to your ideas; your characters have some relationship to eachother.
That and you obviously sit down with a composition in mind, or at least it seems that way - you dont just have a static character just sitting there.
Dont get me wrong, thats not a bad thing, but it does have its time and place.
At least imho it does.
What helped me profoundly was drawing from life; either using photos to help you accurately portray physicality and anatomy or having someone model for you.
Photos are easier and you can easily access tons and tons of them online.
If a more cartoonish look is what your going for photos can still help - once you know the rules of anatomy you can bend them a little.
Most artists do.
Once I started using photos things really took off for me, however; knowing when to put them down is just as important - they can quickly become a crutch where you rely on someone else to compose for you and you dont use your own imagination.
Granted its harder to compose your own ideas and then find the photo reference to aid you - but its infinately more rewarding.
Ok, ill shut up now.
Theres a solid crew of talent lurking around these boards who can give you specifics if you need them - really nice people.
Good luck and draw, draw, draw.
i like em all!

I like your style. I really enjoy bold lines and that dynamic, loose feel. Definitely *not* crap. Please keep it up!

First, on an unrelated note, I came in here expecting to find someone ranting in the wrong place about the changes to Energy Melee. Lol! Glad I was wrong.
Now then, keep going! You have a really great style and a good energy! The third is my favorite, btw.

The first one, especially Seraphim, reminds me a lot of one of my fave comics, Invincible.
