Also, your inking is a bit unstable - are you doing it in Photoshop? If yes, I suggest inking with a real pen or at least using Illustrator.
The figure paints are awesome, though. I guess you should just stick with natural art, you know, pencil, ink, paint, and stuff. You're much better with natural coloring than artificial.

Thanks for the advice. I do draw both in photoshop(with wacom tablet), and by hand. The outlines for all the "complete" pictures (except for Lyric) were done on paper with a fineline pen. It's probably because I tend to rush the inking... I'll take care to make smoother lines in future.
About the Anime-ish, yes I admit that my drawing style in these pictures is heavily influenced by that of the Megaman Zero/ZX games. Sklie and Kr'ket are both characters from a Roleplay loosely based off of the megaman universe. Also I'm a big fan of the games.
I assume the "anatomy problems" relate to Sklie and Kr'ket too, I guess I should have explained the background of these a bit more, but they're not quite supposed to be "human", rather human-like "aliens". To be honest, I'm not so good at drawing the human figure, I shied away from the prospect for years, I know I still need some more work on it. ^^;
Could you explain a bit more about the "toned palette", I think I know what you mean but could you clarify?
Thanks again for the comment!
