First off, I'd like to say that you seem to have a good understanding of facial proportions. There's a lot of thick outlines on the face image in places like the bridge of the nose and lips. Generally, you can get a much more natural looks by showing at least 50% of the nose and mouth with shading alone.

In the Jade picture, most of her proportions looks good. Her hips appear too thin compared to her torso, and her left arm clashes with the rest of the image. It looks like her left arm was stolen from Mickey Mouse, meaning somewhere, there's a one-armed mouse running around. I'd suggest shortening her forearm and making her left hand closer to her right hand's size. The only other thing is that the far side of her face seems to stick out a bit far. Overall it's a very good image.

Also, I'd usually go linking to some porportional image, but I figure you're old enough that I can just suggest swimsuit calendars *cough*.

Thanks for all you're help: I'll use your suggestions in the next BGAE picture I do(Yeah, I plan to do another picture of her and Pey'j- one where they're fighting one of the bosses. The game rocks.)

The major problem with Jade is she's the star of a metalgear solid/Legend of Zelda style game, so most of the pictures I try to snag for referances only have her either crouching, or backflipping.
(And yes, I'm old enough... In fact, my Radia picture from way back when was based on a model in Maxim)

All in all, I like how you're improving. The realistic pics are always good to practice on, I say, so don't stop with 'em. Just don't lose your cartoony style in the process. You do a great job with those, as I'm sure I've let you know.

And the Sue and Louie cartoon was good.

Don't worry, I'm planning on continuing both. The "Realistic" style IS fun, but the main thing I guess that prevented me from advancing to it as fast as most people is... it doesn't seem me sometimes... Besides, I've been a fan of cartoons longer then I've been a fan of reality. /\

Oh, and for you cartoon fans, I DID create a few cartoony pictures(They are in black and white, though, I'm taking a break from color to work on hand-shading.)
What could possably go wrong
Ooh look, there goes a Fraggle
(Ok, so it was a fanarty week.)

And I also am working on a picture and song that I've been wanting to do for a while. Lets just say it has Sue desguised as the character she was based on...

I'll show it later and leave you guessing.
