*glomps art* They are sooo awesome! I especially love the first tribal one. And the demon girl one, water color pencils right? They're all really good *nod nod*.

You definitely have to work harder, but so do we all.
Basic anatomy studies, and looking into color theory and composition should help. I see this especially in your first image you posted. Work on getting better scans, and working with (colored pencil I'm guessing?) You really have to bear down on the pencils to get the right values and colors. Seeing the white through the marks really kills the drawing.Make sure you have a light source as well, with contrasted values and reflected light. They can really strengthen your picture.
Whenever I do full pictures, I start with thumbnails. After about 20 of them (they should be really small) I sketch out 2 or 3 more fleshed out thumbnails. This way, I can get all my ideas out and pick the best composition, and really think about what feeling I want to give the viewer.

I hope crits are allowed. That's all I ever post, and I'm a newbie, so sorry if I offend. I'm only trying to help. :)

Oh trust me I really appreciate it. I love getting any sort of feedback from people and the more advice I can get the better. Thanks!

I have to say that the Ankh, is my favorite. It's really well done. ...I think If I were to get a tatoo...it would be something very similiar if not the same to that. The very first one, I like because it reminds of the show Gargoyles...and the fact that they should have had more girl gargoyles...this one reminds me alot of Goliath's daughter.

Wow you should be a Tattoo artist! I think what I like about your designs is the detail. Maybe you should try putting more detail in your first two (or the ones like them to come) little things like suggestion of bricks in the building or defined strands of hair can really add a lot to a drawing ^.^
I think with how dramatic the first piece is it could definitely handle some more intense shading as well.. But that is water color right? I find it really hard to work with those so props!
