I'm glad two people have done music this week!
Lekhaka's tune makes me think on one of those random encounters on fields on an RPG. I'm pretty much expecting the sounds of the GUI and skills and battle cries from the characters and hit sounds to pop up! *o*
Yummy's tune really makes me think of a tough guy! Or maybe a fight scene against a tough guy on the back alley of a club or something like that... cool!
I wished I'd have more music knowledge to give you a more meaningful critique than that ;_;

About the manly guys~~ Rawr~~~xD I haven't commented on the yet, let me see... I'm not very good with men's anatomy myself (reason #1 to pick this theme in the first place), but I'll try my best to comment on everybody C: You'll probably find more help looking at an anatomy book than reading me, though ^^;
Jake: Lol at Zangief xD He's the incarnation of this week's theme! Love him~~ And yes, I think the arm has a problem there, the upper part looks very short... Maybe extend the line of the upper part of the arm towards the elbow? (Does that even make sense? Sorry, I'm bad at explaining things in English x_x) And the wrist of his left hand looks not quite right to me, though I'm not sure why D: Maybe it's the thickness... maybe try shading that area a bit more? I like his beard, by the way~~ I'm getting old here, now I like bearded guys >>;

blakjak: Reading Lekhaka's comment, he does look Ape-ish :O Gives him an "The jungle is my kingdom, rawr!" feel, I like it C: I agree his upper arm is a bit short too, and the waist... Maybe he has so much muscle there he can't even bend! Making everything waist-down thinner would help, I think, and it'll also give the impression of even broader chest and shoulders, which is always good for manryness~

AQU: Your guys is really cool! But he's a bit on the thin side to be super manly, I think he's still pretty bishie with that white long hair, hehe~~ at least that's the impression it gives me. I think it may be his head being a tad large in proportion to his shoulders and torso... I like his bullet wound scars <3

Pyonkotchi: LOL xD; I think what bothers me the most is his thin neck, Manly muscular men have wide necks like tree trunks! >O (ok, not that thick, but you get the idea x'D)

Starling: Points for trying! xD I think you could use smaller eyes (eye), big eyes are for sissies! xD Try doodling guys from photographs like I did, it'll help you understand how they're "built" better C:

azraillesama You missed the scars and the facial hair
Nobody is taking nature elements? boo~ I'll try to do something with that later today
EDIT:
Went to my garden and picked some leaves and one flower (it's winter here, all the rest of the plants were flower-less D:) and drew/painted them.
Ah, the smell of freshly cut plants is filling my desk now, so nice~ C:
