Wow. You've already far surpassed me in my drawing skills. (even when you were eleven). I especially like the one that is not entered in a contest (the one in a red dress and says melody next to it). The only problem I see with it, after looking at it for a really long time, that the right arm is longer than the left.
For the one that is an entry for a contest- I like it. It's really cute, and I think the halo at the top adds a touch to it. Sorry for not being harsh or anything...Its hard to be harsh when the person you're trying to be harsh for is far better at you (in this case drawing).
Good luck with those entries...I'm not sure if you turned them in already though.

I realized that I said I'd be gone for only two weeks...but I was gone for much longer.I hope to stay on this time.
-The girls are shaped like rectangles. It's kind of weird.
-Aniyl's legs are in such a freakish position. How can she possibly stand? XD
-The hands are kind of lumpy, but too thin at the same time
Pink haired girl:
-Again, she is shaped like a rectangle. For girls, add a slight curve to the waist.
Melody:
-Very cute, but the hand look like ET's. Why are they sooo thin?
Snow girl:
-Nice but...
-Her skin is bright yellow?
-The expression on her face is well drawn, but it looks like a bad photograph where you close your eyes
Random Chibi girls:
-So kawaii! I love her hair.
-her soldiers are very flat and manly
Good job!

Aw, so cute! My favorite is the colored one with the hat that says "Happy Valley" on it.
You're a great anime artist/cartoonist/I-dunno-what-I;m-supposed-to-call-it person.
However, the one drawn in red has a really odd leg position. I would change that.
Good luck in the contest.

These are really cute. The top ones had great detail in the face but then had there flaws in the body(Mainly the legs) But Great job.

I used to love drawing anime drawing, it was all i ever did
I don't think there's much point editing these as you drew they when you where eleven but I'll say a few things anyway.
1. The legs are misshapen (i know it's something peeps have already said) and all in the same position, try to find some anime pics on the internet of different people standing and copy them.
2. The faces are wonderfully detailed as all anime drawings should be but once you get down to the bodies they become sketchy and the drawings look inconsistent and rough.
But, with that said, you asked for critiques, so I will give you one.
I started off drawing like this, chibis with only the slightest definition and form. I would comment on the arms and legs versus the head, but it's chibi; it's supposed to be small-body, fat-head. Your hands, however, are a little out of proportion with the rest of the body, but that's understandable; hands are a pain in the BUTT to draw! It took me sketching my own hand for hours on end before I finally got even CLOSE to proportionate.
But other than that, your faces are excellent. Other than the eyes being a little too far to the side of the head, they look good. Here's a tip for you, though; when drawing faces, keep your eyes only one eye-width apart. Okay?
After that, you might want to consider progression. Try more serious anime styles, like what you find in Inuyasha and Bleach. What I did was take a DVD of the series/movies and pause it on a cool picture. I would then sit there and draw that picture, over and over again if I had to, until I had it the way I wanted it.
And so on. You could even go to my own DeviantArt page, if you want, and re-sketch some of my pieces, just for practice; I help my cousins out in the same way, giving them my older pieces to try and re-draw. Ayumi's Page
Just keep practicing. Practice will be a pain at times, but it will pay off. As I said before, I started out like you have done, with chibis; I am now the two-time state art champion.
