Well, the one titled "Mary" is Ok, but the others I don't care for... I feel like I stepped up my game quite a bit since I made those, I just need some new pieces (like the one I'm doing now) to show it. I really don't like how the face turned out in Ozryel, the entire pose of Midnight's Shadow is nutty (his head, especially, is off), and the sketch...well, the sketch is salvageable, but I'm not sure that I should bother. I have a problem with going back and reworking older pieces, I have to learn to just let it go.
I still like the two portraits in there (Rehka Sharma and the random girl that I pulled out of the tubes via google) but since I worked from a photo reference I don't put much stock in them. Those pieces were more about practicing with color and value anyways.
Absolutely stunning work you have Clutch! Glad you decided to swing by and afford us the opportunity to become fans of your masterful manipulations of shadow, light and color!

on second thought, I'm going to censor myself and just say that there is some new art up that contains violence which may not be for the faint of heart.. I did put a mature warning on the DA upload to restrict it to 18+
Took out the gory bits... We'll just call it a figure study 
I truly love your style, Clutch!!!

Beautiful and original ... good work !!
It's an amazing pic as seen above...
But with the rest of the picture as seen on dA? It's a story.
Very cool and full of awesome.
...because I hate the CoT
Hey Clutch, love that piece (the CoT deserve a good beatdown) and the tread pattern on his boot looks strangely familiar 
(mainly cuz I spent all day yesterday looking at it while drawing my first of 40 heh).
Great job on the mage and I especially like the face of the acolyte next to Crusades knee. First rate bro.
The one thing I would critique though is the way the goggles are lit.
It makes them look a bit like cross eyed googly eyes.

The left one, to be exact.Yeah, I agree the goggles need a better treatment...I'll have to see what I can do. Originally I was going to do a reflection, but it's too small of a feature for that effect to work.
A silhouette reflection might work... like a straight shadowed line that goes across the goggles and varies up an down matching the mages conical hat shape in front of him. Above the line is black and below is that orange and yellow cast. Hmmm not sure how it would work with the lighting though... maybe play around with it a bit.
Cripes.. I'm trying all different types of reflections but now that you said googly eyes, that's all I can see 
Maybe I'll just let it sit over night.
Right now it's time to sit outside in the 7 degree cold with a vodka martini and take pictures of Mars

Huh! Funny. I double check and my clocks and watches don't even have that o'clock!
Okay I think I'll go with this:
Oh yeah! Home Run Clutch! Great piece man!

That's a great looking piece, Clutch! You're doing some really nice looking stuff.

Great piece!
Thanks!
I'm not happy with the left (his right) hand just kinda hanging out there and not doing anything, but I'm just gonna move on.
Your Crvsade turned out TERRIFIC, Clutch! Nice work!!

I thinkhis hands make sense. I also totaly envision that move finishing with the CoTs face completely crushed in. Visions of American History X mental image for some reason. I like it when art like this takes my brain on a mental tour! Great stuff!

The goggles look much improved now by the way,
now about that mages right hand...
Awesome work, Clutch. Welcome to the CoH art community.
