OK, I'm taking all these down to be re-uploaded in an effort to make them less blurry. This is the only one i'm going to have here so the thread isn't deleted entirely. Plus, it's the least blurry out of all the pictures. This used editing to make as visable as possible.

I've re-done Safe Head and Artemis. I'm working on Joy's 2nd portrait right now.
Can anyone tell which way she's holding the Angular Mask?(Angular Mask Removed)

New entry!
I drew Artemis with the Blood Mask.

Do you think this is better then the last one?

The story is about us leaving the planet after we enter the 6th Ice Age when the planet becomes too inhospitable for life to exist and begins after we colonize Ivor 6 in 787(ACE).

These strange creatures were able to take down an entire kingdom, there origins are unknown although they bear a striking resemblance to an armless human being. If you get too close they'll bash your skull in with their "Safe" heads.

I found you ┬┴┬┴┤ ͜ʖ ͡°) ├┬┴┬┴

May I make some suggestions?

Some of your images look blurry and out of focus. If your phone has an auto-focus, I suggest using that and waiting until the image is sharp enough to post.

On some of your clearer images, I find your style pretty... unique. It's not a bad thing, I just might want to see more of it. (Also, editing your picture by flipping them and making them look like they're standing would help too.

If this is for your story, I suggest reposting them there as well.

My PC doesn't have that feature, do you know of any better photo capture software I can use?

What computer do you use? Windows has a 'Photos' application that lets you rotate the image. If not that, you can use the rotation tool in your normal MS Paint. I suggest once again to use a Smart Phone. Using your computer to capture images isn't the best of ideas. There's an edit tool also that helps.

I would use my phone, it doesn't have a camera (It's old). I'll try the editing tools and see how that turns out.

OK, so the text is still impossible to read but at least now you can somewhat make out the characters from the low res background that PC cameras give you. I'm reuploading all the old ones as well. I've also gotten a bit more practice with my drawing skillz, that's why it looks so different from the old pictures.

Oh cool. Demacy in any particular style?

What do you mean? The style is manga. The character is named Demacy if that's what mixed you up.

I figured much, but is there a particular artist that inspired it? Manga has many kinds of artists and designers with different styles of manga. What I was asking is, what style was Demacy inspired by? Any particular artists?

I took a heavy inspiration from Naoko Takeuchi, the artist behind Sailor Moon. Hence the clothing choice of a skirt and large bow on the chest. It's not a completely based off of her work though, as I took many different tutorials on things like hair, eyes, and anatomy. As you can see, I put a lot of time and effort into this character. I stopped posting them here because I wasn't getting any response from the community on how to improve it (though I guess the art board is the least active of them next to fanfiction). So I so I stopped posting them for a month or two where I improved my skills outside of the community which is why there's such a huge difference between characters like Artemis compared to Demacy. Did I over explain it? Probably. Going a bit off topic, do you think I should redraw the old characters or should I leave them be?

I say show your old work first to show people how you improved. Redrawing them would be nice but what is important is saving up to buy a scanner to transfer your art digitally so it can be crystal clear if you don't have a Smartphone. I would say leave it as it is until then.

I might as well save for the phone then, considering it's cheaper and has additional features that make it worth while. Thanks for looking at my art and giving it a chance. See you in a month.

You are welcome.

Take your time.
