All I can say is you are great. The two things I can suggest is to make them a bit darker :-/ so that the details are better to see and draw more for all to look at. Other than that you are great truely :D
I really liked you second drawing though; the weapons are done very well ;)
I am in wait to see more....

i really like your pics, maybe practice drawing the feet little, they seem a bit unreal... unless they were meant to be like that no offence

Well, you have skill. But you need to work on poses, they dont look alive to me.

Look up some tutorials on figure drawing    :)

The most common way to make pictures darker is to increase the Contrast setting in whatever imaging program you are using.

For programs that use layers, such as Photoshop, you may also try Duplicating the layer, and applying a Darken mode to the topmost layer so that the lines effectively double in the strength of their darkest pixels.

The more capable image-editing programs (Photoshop, The GIMP, etc.) will also let you adjust the levels in an image pretty easily.  Open up the Levels dialog (in The GIMP, it\'s Layer | Levels...) and drag the left-hand slider on the histogram (circled in red) to the right.  A good starting point is where the histogram data starts rising.

(http://www.shipbrook.com/jeff/temp/Levels.png)

The sliders under the histogram control the range of luminance; the left-most slider sets the point where everything is completely black (well, actually the value of the left \"Output Levels\" slider), and the right-most slider has full luminance (or the value of the right \"Output Levels\" slider).  Everything between the sliders is mapped accordingly.  

The middle slider is used as a gamma control.  You can usually also affect RGB levels individually as well as the luminance value (in The GIMP, just drop down the \"Value\" box to select another channel).

This tool is really helpful in making washed-out photographs look better, too.
