[QUOTE="MrGeezer"]Not too bad, but it could use some work. Especially in the faces. The faces look really flat and could use more detail. Also, there's this weird thing going on where part of the faces have lots of scraggly little "detail lines" or something, but then the other half of the face is just without any type of detail whatsoever. I think it would have been better to just stick with a consistent style throughout. Or at least throughout such a narrow aspect as a face. Either the whole face should be flat, or the whole face should be scraggly and comic booky.But when part of the face looks one way and the other doesn't, it looks sort of weird.
Good effort, though. Not bad at all, and a lot better than I could do. Could use some improvement, but it's definitely better than "decent".

After reading what you wrote I realize what you mean. It does look a bit 2d on half the face and then detailed on the other... I'll try to even it out more either in this work or in future work. The lines in the face are from the shadow from the original picture I based this work on. I do need to try to change up my work from the photos a bit more as it does follow the photo a bit too much. I copy pictures too much and am not all that creative... I'll try to be more careful with those shadow in the future. Thanks for the criticism. It really is appreciated.
Looking more closely at it, it's obvious that the liney part is shadowing.
So in that sense, it's not too bad. The shadow areas are pretty much where they are supposed to be.
It still looks sort of weird though. Maybe you should just use a different method of indicating shadow? Maybe instead of using harsh lines, perhaps light shading would work better?
I don't know. I'm not an artist and I could never do anything near that good. It just doesn't look wquite right though. Do something about the shadows. I think that's my main problem. Everything else is great, but the shadows just look off.
