Morbidness, babies and crushes!

The first link is... Wow, I am so proud of this, or was. I'm suddenly noticing flaw after flaw... grah. Well, whatever, I'm going to do a giant version on a flippin' huge piece of paper, so I can sort them out then.

But anyway, this has a hidden message that I really don't expect anyone to get. Just know that it is deceptively morbid.

Secondly, Young Erik the smexy... standing on someone he just killed.

But here is Spiffy the Commission Dragon!

I really like your style. It may be not very unique, but you know what you are doing and do it well. (Or at least it seems so.)
(The faces are just so amazing. I like the dead mans face very very much. The pleading look. oh.)

I think your works would look so good as paintings. (the pencil doesn't do them justice. nor would computercolouring. :/)
Maybe gouache, acrylics or oilpaints.

Anyways. I'm sure you already know these, but I'll still say. :D
The anatomy needs a bit correction in some points. (young erik's arms for example are different lenght.
Even though your style is not realistic I'd suggest studying realistic anatomy books as they are the most accurate usually. When one knows the basics it is easier to make own style. (Learned that the hard way.)
I also see the same with your works as I see with mine.
You draw faces with many details and alot work in them, yet the bodies themselves are rather sketchy. This may be related to the anatomy. (At least it is with me.)
I may not be the right person to say this (as I can't draw them myself either :D) but the dimensions are well... wrong. For example the dead mans hand.
I still can't draw them correctly without a model (Either a real person or a photo. The drawing model dolls don't help me the least. :/) so I'd be happy to learn some tips too. :D

The last but not least.
You don't happen to like Jason Voorhees? :D

Yeh, I do anatomy books sometimes. You should check out my scraps.

Oh, and sometimes I go off of real proportion on purpose, particularly with Erik, but yeah, you're right about the arms. Note that I'm not scanning almost any of what I'm drawing because for some reason, most of the heads I draw are far too big nowadays, and I don't do manga.

Jason Voorhees? Never heard of him.

Oh, and I can't paint myself out of a cardboard box. I just like graphite better.
