I'm not a professional illustrator, so I'll really appreciate any comment about my work.

Very nice work! The drawing is pretty much perfect from my point of view.

Mind if I try to color that one?

And now... a bunch of critters!

Very nice work, Wedhro. I especially liked the detail on the ogre.

Thank you. It was a real pain to do that!

I really enjoy this thread - kudos to the artists. Sadly, I have no real criticism otherwise, nor would that be especially wise to listen to someone who still struggles with stickfigures, but I do really like all the art here and had to say it... or type it as the case may be.

Keep up the great work!

I used to draw character and monster portraits just to let my players know how they look like.
Later, I realized that full-lenght, white background, coloured drawings would be suitable as cardboard miniatures, just like the following ones...

Feel free to use my art as miniatures (or whatever)! Unfortunately I'm a lazy artist, but I'll keep posting my future work as soon as I can.

Stygian, I can't draw a straight line with a ruler. And no, my curves aren't any better, they're more like bulbous protuberances. I do my work in 3d because 99% of the hard stuff is already done (it's just expensive). But, I'm willing to post my "work" here in case someone else says "hey, I can use that!" or "hey, that would be perfect for my game if it had X instead of Y!"

People like Bergjylt, Bookman's Friend, Storn, Sydney, Wedhro, Wicked Lurker, and Zorg (sorry if I missed anyone, I did a quick thread scan), can actually draw, which requires artistic ability. And criticisim, when honest, doesn't matter who it's from or how artistic they are. You may have an idea or a remark that could take a picture from meerly good to spectacular.

Don't sell yourself short just because you struggle with stickmen. And don't feel you can't give a suggestion.

Man, that's really well done. He's got that whole ugly-stick-forest thing going on. That couldn't have been easy.

Here is an enemy MonkeyFist had us fighting in our last Supers game.
This was another robot we saw right at the end of the first fight.
