    You should make the black lines on the inside of the drawings thinner.
    Possibly make the title a bit smoother
    I've never seen you add pupils to any character except Mr Triangle. you should add pupils to the rabbit
    Save the file as a .gif instead of a .jpg
    Some of the asterixs in the background look really bad
    The foreground characters should be brighter than the three floating heads
    Redo the hands


Other than that, very well done!

I like your style. Reminds me of PK's (see Awkward Stage, Time Flies).

The no-pupils thing gives all the characters an evil look. If that's what you want, don't change it.

You need to work on your shading. Particularly awful is the girl's hair.

The rabbit is so dark that he's practically a silhouette. Consider giving him lighter tones of fur.

Overall, it's a fun drawing. This is an example of an art style that you'd see in the cutscene of a game, but that the game wouldn't maintain throughout -- but if it did, then it would be hecka cool.

The whole non pupil thing is a part of my style. And they aren't trying to look evil heh. Although Gargan is just dumbfounded. The reason they look as dark as they do is that I used the exact color tones from in-game. So the rabbit has the same palette as he does in-game. I didn't do this to be lazy, I did it to keep colors the same.

Well... they DO look evil. Consider coloring them in (see, for example, my Mageclash art -- also sans pupils).

I agree on the coloring now that I take a closer look. Gwyn's hat is way too dark, and Troy could be just a tad bit brighter I suppose. I will work on it in a while. It took me like 30 minutes to do all of that so that's why there is a fair amount of artistic flaws.
