ooh wew, some niceness. i'll get on it right away.

Dragon:
verry likey, all the scales have a goood sense of detail. i dont like however how you started 'finishing' the thing with ink without having defined the lower jaw: its a part of the whole and it should be there as well to a cxertain level of detail. also, the eyes look to be a bit flat in his head, but for all i know, they could be.

girl #1:
excellent texture on her skin. ofcourse it doesnt look realistic, but you whernt aiming for that i suppose. the hair must have taken forever, some highlights would have been nice, to suggest more volume.
her 'frown' (the wrinkles at the eyebrows?) look a bit odd. also, her eyes seem to be looking in slightly diffrent directions, the iris of the eye on the left seems glued to the upper eyelid, yet her other eye is more glued to the lower eyelid. her nose is loevely, like how you play with diffrent hues and saturations in skin color.

girl #2:
most of the same comments go for #2 as well, but i have something to add. in the hair it seems like you are outlining the hair more with white then you are highlighting it.

Alien:
same goes for the alien. the white stripes all along his extremities make it look a bit fake. it would be better iof you chose one lightsouce and have that sight highlighted, and fade the rest into the dark background some more... should make it more menacing.

UI thing:
its pretty nice, but if you're going to make it all sci-fi like that, try and get the texts from fonts or illustrator. they kinda break the idea of them being in screens or something if they are asymetrical.

Yay, it's teh stormrager! Your faces are at the same level as I used to know, but your dragons are getting better. But hey, no more white background :D.

Try studying proportions a bit more and try to make your characters less stiff (so the oposite of your alien).

The dragon looks very cool. Do you think that you could add some line-width variation to the inking? because that could make it look much better.

The coloring on the second girl is awesome! How much time did you spend on her?

And the alien... er... yeah... You *might* need to work on the hands a bit... and it stands out waaaaay too much from the background. I think, you may have wanted to go with more metallic/plastic highlights (less area, but much brighter) than the organic type of highlighting. Nice work, I hope to see more from you!

The sci-fi thingig... It doesn't quite look metal... I don't quite know how to fix that... buuuut... yeah. With a little more work, this would be very cool.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. Actually i've got a finished version of the dragon, here http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/26507074/

The first girl portrait, Pandora, took me 3 hours, it's just a sketch. The second one (Rachel) took me about 6 hours.
Yeah, the alien needs more work. But i'm lazy.

Very nice, sorry I do not have enough time to give a detailed commentary. Gotta pull another admin in here, please use the [thumbnail] tags instead, a few of those do happen to brake the max image size rule. (Besides, thumbnails make looking at each image so much easier!)
