Usagi and Ami in their Azabu Juban uniforms, from season 1.

greebo_jinx: I'm totally impressed with the pin-striping on the guy's suit - it's really even and does a great job of following the folds of the fabric. Very nicely done.
Mizz_FUJIN: Her expression is great, and I like the detail you put into the shoes. The shading on the clothing seems a little soft and blurry and overall low contrast. I'd sharpen up the folds in the skirt and just darken up your shadows and also throw in some highlights.
Don't forget that Gaia avatars are lit from the front-side, so their far side (in this case, her right) should be in shadow a bit, with the lighting along her left side being the strongest. Nice job on the hair too - I'd smooth out the outline of the bangs a bit but the shading looks great.
darumapyon: These are both super cute - great job on the umbrella in particular. You really nailed the structure and the angle.
I really would love to see these edits with more contrast and a bit more of a selective outline around the various pieces. The outfit designs are lovely and I think you've pretty much got the shading right, they're just so low contrast they feel a little flat.
XxCleaNessxX: I like the design of the outfit on this and the shapes look good. Your shading seems to lack a light source though, and doesn't really add shape and depth to the clothing. For example, you have this sort of inverted-U-shaped highlight on the pink top, which doesn't really look natural. The female body is really just a curvy cylinder shape, if you break it down to the most basic forms, and if you look at a cylinder,
the highlights and shadows will run from top to bottom rather than curve over the surface. I think more contrast would do wonders for your edits too - don't be afraid to really push the contrast.
