I voted it was alright, but that's only because I wanted the money and it was the closest to being true to what i was thinking. <.< (It wasn't really accurate to my opinion though, because I thought your work was better than alright, just not quite awesome, so don't take it personally)
Your art shows potential in a lot of ways. You attempt dynamic poses, and you're not afraid to draw full bodies, hands, or feet even though they're all really difficult things to draw. That fact alone means that you're going to improve, probably more quickly than most other people, because you're getting practice with things that many others avoid. This is good. ^_^
Your art right now has a lot of anatomy issues, but it's not bad for a start at all. I could link you to some anatomy tutorials if you want, but practice is really the key to improvement here. I'm sure in due time you'll be really good.
Also, for the record, I really like the ninja images, because they're really dynamic, and the cat drawing is cute. ^_^ Keep up the good work and feel free to ask me for any references for things you may be having trouble on.

For the Tiger Lady drawing, I think you could have had a little more room for the head. And you should add some light and shading to the eyes, they look blank and dull. The hair needs more...depth to it, and I think you should add some stray locks to the hair too. It looks like it's all in one bunch together. Make the legs a little longer, too.
The Vampire drawing is nice, just make the moon smaller and the wings larger. And why does she have interesting ears?
For the Shuriken drawing, make the hair a bit thicker since you cover up her eye with it. The ponytail needs to have visible locks of hair...Same with the Kunai drawing.
For the Last Piece of Hope drawing, make the edges of the wings a bit softer...but other wise, it's nice.
I think the rest of your art is really nice!
Keep up the good work, I'd be happy to provide more criticism later if you'd like!
Hope I wasn't too harsh, sorry.

I agree with G-Gawl. Your art does show a lot of potential and with practice, i bet your art will be amazing. I do like your poses too for i don't get to see many poses like that, that is not in a manga or anime. The details could be better too. My favorite was the kimono. I like the japanese very much so i thought that you picture was amazing. My second favorites were the ninjas. Your art is really good compared to mine, which looks more like a scribble. I can't even draw to save my life, so yeah keep practicing and you'll do great.

my favorite one is are the monsters gone...
on to the criticism...
shading needs work, especially for cloth folds and stuff
study anatomy animals and humans for better angel wings
and some of the arms and legs look kinda weird in places
good start
you already can draw better than I can ^^

I like "in the rain" a lot. One thing I have to say about your art is that I am really impressed by the raw emotion you put into them. I need to take a few cues from you there. XD I can see you already know where most of the areas you need to work on and I am quite impressed with that. I can tell you are going out of your way to challenge yourself. You aren’t afraid to draw ands and feet and you are starting to give hints that you want to learn foreshortening. What I say first is just to do a few practice pictures using a "framework" or those darn bubbles you see in every art book that ever was. XP The only bad part about them is that it is easy to make things a bit stiff. However, using this method is good for forcing yourself to learn proportions. (With this said don't loose the freestyle). Another thing I want to help with are the wings. I see it's a common theme in your work so a tutorial on them might be good. ~.^ To get a good idea for how wings work here is a picture from robertsloan2 on www.ehow.com It's very good for showing how they are similar to human arms as well as the layers of feathers. (he made a very nice how to draw birds wings page on here if you want to check it out. x)  As you can see they have a LOT in common with a human arm. So that gives you some ideas for how they move and new poses you can put the wings in. Hopefully this helps a bit.

My advice is get a sketchbook, carry it around with you everywhere, and do drawings from life every day. You'll get a lot better at figure drawing and proportions and such. Also, incorporate more values in your shading, lighter lights darker darks.
Keep at it!

though this may have been said, you draw a bit stiff. but don't worry about that. almost all artists have that problem at one time or another. aw, heck, i'm in the middle of a year-and-a-half campaign on trying to draw things loosly. something to remember: joints are pivots that bend pretty much 360, or at least 180. something to try: do sketches that most likely will not end up as anything more than garbage fodder, but test at the angles at which you can bend the arms and legs. it doona matter if it at first seems as if it is gonna be an epic fail, just try and try again untill you feel you've got it right. also, the rib area on pics like, say, the tiger chick, or something, it's a little bit wider, thw shoulders not quite so wound up, and, if you're trying to draw a slightly mangaish person, you wanna make the legs like 2x as long as the chest. your legs seem a bit short, making the pics seem like odd cartoons with taste.ooh! and something else! just a hint for the hands: if you draw them spread out, try and make them so they can cover from the eyebrows to the chin, for length. your width is pretty damn good. and another thing: don't be too doubtful of your feet. they fit your style pretty okay.
REMEMBER: DOMO SAYS YOU DRAW PRETTY OKAY!!!! NOW BRING ME CHILDREN!!!! domokun domokun domokun

Here is awesome advice:
Draw the human figure as much as you can, specifically naked, and study it. Draw it for a long time as anatomical studies, drawing a person and then inserting the muscles by lookin at the same pose or picture you were lookin at, and referencing anatomy books.
Then to draw the figure you have to stop thinking in flat space, you have to think like someone making a sculpture. If you were making a sculpture your knife or chisel would be traveling around the stone giving and define the shape of it. Think of your pencil as that chisel and when drawing the human figure define space, and the shape of the object using your pencil as if it was the chisel. Making various lines to define the shape and direction of the mass of the object your studying. You have no idea the difference and improvement this will make on your art. For reference, search michelangelo's drawings to see how he used this technique.
Last of all, notice that the body has a rythm to it, specifically curves. Although this is very hard to explain, it something you have to see with your own eyes.
