Whoa! This is all really cool. That first thing is really creepy and horrible looking (in a good way). I can't quite discern its overall shape though.

The TipWhip pic is the least impressive one to me. I still like it, but it doesn't have the same effect as the others.

The climber thing is awesome. I like the huge claws on the outside and the smaller ones on the palm. Good face too. I like the fur texture a lot. This one is my favorite I think.

The last one is good too. I really like the shading on the cloak/cape thing and his pants. The fire looks great too.

I don't have to wish I were you either (I do wish I were less lazy, though).

on the hands on the tipwhip picture are messed up if im seeing it right. if the back of the hands are facing us, the thumbs should be on the opposite side. other than that its a pretty good picture but not as good as the others.

i love the foepaw pic, its pretty beastly and the shading is very nice. where he's "running" in the upper right it looks a bit wierd, his leg looks like its flat against his back.

bryim looks pretty nasty as well, again excellent shading especially on that cloak. only thing i dont like about him is his head, it just looks a bit corny from what i can see.

I really like your art. Incredibly imaginative, even if TipWip is obviously a TOTAL NINJA TURTLES RIPOFF :(( but anyway, great looking. There are a few technical/anotomical problems: in many cases, your characters arms look far to small, especially when they are holding them like TipWip is here. I personally think Bryim's fists should be enlarged to epic proportions, because that would be awesome. The Breeder and the (can't read the name too well) Foepaw look very very good. To top all this off, I don't see any generic anime in there at all.

First let me say that the shading and texturing is excellent on all of them, but sometimes the anatomy and perspective is just a bit off.

The Bleeder's arms seem stiff, and the way the right leg is bent just looks wrong.
It's already been pointed out that TipWhip's thumbs are backwards.
The perspective on the Foepaw's left arm is rather awkward. Also, the movement in running picture looks strange and unbelievable. Nice trees, though.
I have no real qualms with Bryim, except that his left arm looks stiff and makes the rest of the picture look rather static. Also, those're some weird wrinkles in his pants.

All in all I'm pleasantly surprised. You're not bad at drawing characters with detailed and stylish skins, if you could just work on those skeletons, you'd be great.
Though I didn't care for the first three of your quotes. At all. The last one implies a rather clever character, until you have to go and spoil our hopes for that character by telling us that we was killed and succeeded by the guy in the picture above. >:(

Holy fashizzle. That is some kickass designing skills.

I would like to say thanks to everyone who commented (so far). Let me run down my list of things I have learned.

I agree that most of my anatomy needs a lot of work. Thank you all for the tips.

What I have learned:
1) The Bleeder: Sorry if his name is hard to read. I thought it would be a nice touch to make its name drippy with blood. And I really shouldn't have made this guy so dry. He could have been oozing blood or something. At least that was how he should have been intended, being skinless and all.
And thanks, Uncy, the leg is badly bent. I will watch out next time. I built this drawing from the inside out instead of outlining it. That may have messed it up.

2)TipWhip: My my. The thumbs are switched... <Napoleon Dynamite> Gosh!</Napoleon Dynamite> There is just NO excuse for THAT... I took a second look at this and I can't believe I let THAT slip. So ashamed… Anyway, it is a little out of place in this line up. It wasn't a detailed picture of him, but rather a sketch of a pose from him. This may explain why it was lacking that same “feel”. I appreciate you pointing that out to me. Shortly after I looked at this I noted that the words (quote) within the picture sort of drive attention away as well. I will have to move all quotes on the picture to the side from now on, as they are not really important to anyone but me.

3)FoePaw: Thanks for the awesome comments, guys. The fur texture, I feel, was the worst part about it. I am glad you didn't mind that part of its other leg didn't go through the scanner correctly (after several tries I said “screw it”). I agree that the running sample in the corner was way off. I need way more practice with animation. Anyway, a foepaw is a beast in Legends of Natrah, a future game which TurtleQuest was supposed to be somewhat based on.

4)Bryimm: I forgot an 'M' in his name when I drew this. *smacks forehead again* But that's not one of the big deals here. I tried to make him as angry as I could for this pose. His face does look off, though. His hands should definitely be bigger. In fact, they were meant to be. I am glad we sort of think alike, Rubs. And the pants folds DO reek. Those are not the kind of folds that I like either. I must have been tired... And sorry to disappoint you, Unc. You'll see. This guy's exploits should be more than worth the death of one clever old man.

Setu: Thank you. I try to be different. And you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Keep it real ‘til next crime, bro.

A big thank you once again for what comments I got so far. The reason why I will post my stuff once in a while is to spot errors like this. I hope I can get a little more feedback before my next update… We might spot something new, and it would help me out a lot. It may even help a critic spot things in the furture, so keep those eyes open... and watch out for that Bleeder (definite name change consideration. ).
