So, I have a bunch of random artwork that I decided to put all together because some of different variations of the same image and such. They're vaguely better than my norm, I'd say, but feel free to judge.

First off, we have the lovely double-faced girl, a female variation of Janus. Yes, I know her throat is a little wide. But, hey, it's a splice. Maybe that would actually happen? I don't know.

Then we have a traced version of my black and white Janus, which you can see below. This one is colored, however. And, yes, his neck length is different depending on the side. (Note: Janus was a two-headed mythological figure who supposedly was the lord of crossroads, time, endings, etc. He supposedly looked both east and west. In my variant, he is just a spliced being--and right now, he's focused on something right ahead of him. You, maybe.)

Here is the original black and white version of the first:

Here is a flying manga girl. Not my best work and the background is minimal, but I like her legs/pants.

Here is Sadira, treed by a catamount--the fabled cat that supposedly haunts the Damis Forest, a rarity for the land of Razira. Yes, she does rather look like a ghost. She would be wearing a ripped white and blue dress and, eh, have blond hair, but doesn't she look rather interesting as the only white space on the paper? No?

Here's a rather shiz drawing. The background is nonexistent, but here is The Monster's revered and feared symbol--a seven-headed dragon, with two crowns around the center's throat and a multitude of blood red scales. Remind anyone of anything?

Finally, here is Morpheus. You can't see the red poppy on his jacket lapel, but that's him all right. Notice the morphine dripping from his left-side fangs and the dead white eye and you can see that, yes, he's showing off his other side--his nightmare side. But, hey, he is the lord of dreams, is he not? (Yeah, the 'halo' of his hair is a bit whacked. Suggestions?)

I like the drawings, I don't have any thing to criticize because I can't even draw myself.

Hi! This is my first attempt at critiquing artwork, so don't take anything I say too seriously. I draw a bit, but I'm mostly self-taught and I don't really know thaaaat much :P

Something I noticed about all of your head-drawings: the necks look slightly off. I don't really know how, maybe they're too long or too thick or slightly tilted.

For the female version of Janus, she doesn't much look like a female (is it supposed to be that way?) I think you pulled off the double-face fairly well, though.

In the Janus drawings, the nose seems odd. I think on the side with the blond hair, it looks rather straight and on the other side it's all curvy. I think you could have also done a bit more with shading on the nose.

I think I like the black and white version better, but on both the ears look a little small and a little too high.

For the flying manga girl, I agree with you. I really like the pants. Her head looks a little smooshed, but I don't know much about manga.

Sadira's background looks a little messy, but I can't really critique her because I'm not good with manga.

I like the Monster. Again, I think you could have had a bit more detail and shading.

Morpheus's monster-side of his mouth curves up a bit too much and there is also a bit too much lip for the amount of teeth on that side, too, in my opinion. His jawline on the monster side is very different from his other side, but I like this drawing. Maybe for the halo of his hair, just make it a little less dark.

So those are my suggestions, but I do really like all of your drawings.
