It's not good. There's no sense of anatomy, it's in some poorly done anime knock-off style, the lines are uniformly thick and crooked, and it's a video game character. On the other hand if Grey makes another video game art collab, yours should be a shoe-in.

I'm aware of it, this was my first. You don't have to be a total jerk about it. I'm a PS n00b. :/

Ankh and Ribs at least told you some of the things that were wrong with it. Snide or rude as they may seem it's helpful criticism, they're telling you not to make those same mistakes in the future.

things I notice immediately:

HOW TO FIX THIS PART NEGATIVE ONE OF INFINITY:

DO NOT START OFF DRAWING FROM YOUR "IMAGINATION," DRAW THINGS YOU ACTUALLY SEE FIRST. LEARN FROM OBSERVATION OF ACTUAL THINGS AND NOT FROM WATCHING CARTOONS OR ANIME OR WHATEVER THE HELL. PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE.

HOW TO FIX THIS PART ONE OF INFINITY:

The first step to any good human piece is an understanding of anatomy, and while I don't care if you adopt an anime style or whatever the hell, all talented artists (yes even talented anime artists) know anatomy enough to morph it into whatever style (cartoony or not) while retaining the perception of being proportioned correctly.

Here's a guideline that you should keep around but feel free to take subtle liberties if you're not completely I'm a edgy teen: a head should be proportioned around 2x3x3 (width,height,depth) and an adult body around 5-7 heads tall and (mostly if male) being around 2.5 heads wide (shoulder to shoulder)

A face (if looked at from the front) consists of three almost equally divided regions: the chin-to-mouth, the nose-to-eyebrows, and then the forehead, not just the facial features covering the entire front

Also, no one uses condescendingly large and misproportioned eye balls because everyone realized how stupid it looked

blah blah blah something LEARN TO DRAW REAL PEOPLE AND PROPORTIONS FIRST

***READ THIS FOR STUFF ON ANATOMY (READ THE THREADS PLEASE ANYTHING WILL HELP YOU)***
http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=174730

STEP TWO OF INFINITY:

Get the lighting right. Apparently the light in your pic is coming from the top left it can't seem to decide when it comes down to it. Also, the way you've put the shadows implies a certain form to this person that scares me deeply. Imagine the objects in a 3d landscape (I hope to god you can imagine) and where the light source is coming from and what that light would hit and what it wouldn't. I'm getting lazy and I can't find the lighting tutorial I liked before so you just gotta figure out working out your drawings in a 3D plane in your mind and you should be better than right now

No because Elements told the CC he was going to commit suicide but didn't do it way before Blue Gas Mask.

He's an OG (original gaybo).

The left side of his face is longer than the right side. He doesn't have shoulders, he just seems to have a really long neck that plunges down into his chest, while his arms just sort of float there. This looks like it was drawn with one of those old-timey ball mice. The background is that really obnoxious "Leaves" brush, with a cheap "aura" effect around the character. There is, for some reason, shading between the stripes on his shirt. It has contradicting light sources. Why does he have eye shadow? Have you ever seen someone wearing a hoodie before? If he had to raise one of his arms up a bit, would it fill you with a sense of panic?

Oh yeah, I thought he looked familiar, and filled me with a vague sense of disgust.

Which one is it, by the way? I stopped learning their names after about 2002.
