I'm quite in love with the brush-stroke look these have, though I'd have to see it accompanied with color to give a full synopsis on my opinion in how it'd work in a game.

The first impression I get when looking at this character is that he's the good-natured, bad with women, clumsy dork kind of guy. The guy that you look at and kind of go "oh he's so cute...but like a puppy dog, I'd never date him." xD Other guys probably try to hook him up. xD

They look good.
The first one looks like the cold megane character, smart but reserved.
The second looks like the older type, calm and polite
The third one is kind of... a girly type. Friendly, soft and cute.
The forth looks like the energetic type, sporty and outgoing.

Most of the anatomy looks right to me except for a couple things. The third characters hand should be placed more on the hip and not so much behind. The forth one dsn't look like he has enough room to put his hand in his pocket and I don't think his legs are quite right. Apart from that they look really good. Good Work!

Yeah, hand can be so annoying, but I do think that sometimes it is better to draw them badly then to hide them. That way you get practice, it doesn't look like you hid the issue and people will know you tried ^^

I might give it a go, if you don't mind, though I still struggle with hands a lot >< But they are pretty important to body language. I think games should spend more effort in rendering them personally. The spend so many polygons on the face (which is right because that is where you look first) that the hands can stand out so much when they flit around. Anyway, I'll give it a go and see :)

Something like that. I tried drawing an open hand one too, but it looked really stupid ><

I think your anatomy is pretty good! The characters are nice too. Now to wait for color!

And btw, it looks great so far

@M-1nG Sure, I don't mind at all ^^ Glad I could help.

Your coloured image looks good. Maybe the only thing would be a little more contrast in colours, like more shadows? I think it may bring him out a bit more.

Looks great! I think you need to make the lines thicker along the outside of your character as well as around any foreground objects (like the chin and forearms). That may make it look a little less flat.
