Oh. My. God.
Catz, you've improved 100-fold! Moonshade is stunning (the character 
)!
Can I put in a request, when you've got some free time? Pleasepleasepleaseplease?
Aye, that's some real good work there Catz, especially like Healing Spirit.
Seems 2007 is the year for people improving their artwork!
Ditto on that for me 
Weasel, Ms. P or Mr. N

Indeed Stas! I'll write your name down, now all i need is a screenie 
Also Healing Spirits is pretty good as you said Z, im happy with his jacket mostly. But my favourite has to be the one i did for Chiefy. Something just grabs me about it.
Catz
WOHAAAAAA !!!!! I love The New Chiefette.. !!! Makes me think a lot about Superman when he changes his clothes
"it's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman!"
Love the manga style too^^ really good work with the pose
Very nice!
Are you using pictures for referance on the pose?
It's not running away. It's advancing in reverse!

I always up past sketches. Used an old supergirl one for chiefy
Catz
Picture.. MEMEMMEMEMMMMEMEMMEMEMEMEMEMMEMMEEMME
i mean... uhm Please?
I feel like Santa claws with the naughty and nice list.
Catz
Great, Catz! It's really cool to see you improving and trying new things (Or at least for me it seems you've gone into more energetic poses). My favorite without a doubt is the Chiefette picture, it has action, difficult angle of hands that is nailed exactly and to top it all off there is vivid emotion on her face and movement. If there's something to improve on, it's symmetry and perspective on her the head (if you try flipping the picture to mirror, I think you'll see what I mean - mostly it's the relative position of her eye and ear). But this is just a minor thing
And the manga style seems to work for you nicely, and still remain fresh. Keep it up
Blackdove
Wow, you keep getting better and better! Those are very nice, especially the heroic-looking Chiefette one.
Thank you so much for drawing Moonshade for me too! I can safely say it looks like her, both art-wise and pose wise. It's great! Thank you!
@Moonshade - too many to list anymore
Honestly a brilliant improvement there Catz. It would be great if you could do a version of lil Pious for me?
Moonshade drawing has the benefit of color and the face expression, the posture is really interesting.
However, I vastly prefer the Chiefette drawing, mostly because of what I consider more uses of volumes and a dynamic posture.
Even if, sincerely, I cannot stand cat girls, I really like that picture.
(sheeesh, I like a catgirl picture... where are my meds)
I can but blink in amazement. What catches me in every picture is the face. By sky goddess you have managed to create some very outstanding expressions. I think one reason is the lively eyes but something about the mouths too just clicks.
Moonshade
Am I imagining or do the legs seem a bit short? Be that as it may the hands are good and the pose as well. The mouth is done with only a few lines but somehow it's the best single detail for me.
Chiefette
This one bristles with energy. There is a story in that one picture. A thousand words, one just has to imagine them. Very classic superhero setting which is made original by the expression on her face.
Healing Spirit
Here the eyes set the scene. The pose and expression build on them. That guy has a mood and he's going to some place specific. Again a story behind there. Leaves me wanting to see the next panel in the comic just to follow up on what's he doing.
Catz, if you don't win Creative Genius from last month, you will ACE it this month. You have made wonderful progression as an artist and you're starting to be at a point where a commercial career could be one option. Keep at it, and keep getting better. Fame and fortune will be yours.
After watching more the Chiefette picture, maybe a little more work on her left hand ?
Seeing the two other pics, I understand you can draw hands nicely, which is, from my non-drawer understanding, a body part often difficult.
I can't add anymore to what's been said in terms of praises for your progress, Catz. I'm just delighted to see to had fun doing those ^^
For C&C's sake, I'd say relax your wrist. It seems you still are very tense holding your pencil. The lineart is very rugged.
I hear a great exercise to do before drawing is to make a full page of ellipses and circles. Warms up and relaxes your wrist.
You're doing great!
Many, many thanks for the replies everyone ! Any who wanted a drawing done ill need screenies sent via PM.
Also Swissy i've noticed the sketch thing im always tense after school work. Improvement is on the way 
Catz
Very good art work, soon as I get a good screenshot ill post it up here. Thats if u have the time Can't wait till the next one.
Well i have indeed heeded Swissys words. Killed my wrist yesterday when i cracked it, but giving it a little bit of free movement helps alot before drawing
Thanks lots Swissy your a brilliant help,
Catz
I hate it when you get wrist ache. Have you tried a warm towel wrapped around it? I find that helps mine.
Don't ask me about joining Honourable United, I'm lazy. Ask Captain Cathode.
