Now that I've started to do something productive with my drawings. I think it will be a good idea for me to show things I have kept to myself. I'll upload a few pictures as often as I can and give some information about them. Any input from this community will be appreciated.
Lets start:
These are two robots I drew back in 2005. They are from a group of four that where in my original story, I called "Dead City", now renamed "9413". As the story got refined over the years, the robots didn't fit in so I dropped them. Sadly I can't seem to find the first drawing I did of them all at the moment. If I find it, I'll upload it.
Enjoy!

I've taken some time away from playing Dark Souls to upload some more pictures.
I wonder If anyone can guess where this picture is supposed to be from?
Here is an old random robot concept.
Here is Orinn (top) and Ohmeg (bottom). They are both from "Fix". These two have a very complicated relationship. I put in the blue so the picture is a little clearer for you.
Ohmeg again. This time in his sarcophagus.
Some more from "Fix". some are old, others really old:
Have fun. I'm off to fight that Capra Demon!

Just found an old scan of the robots. I must of drew this in 2001-02. I should date my work more often.
I never had a plan on what to draw when I started, It was just trying my new mechanical pencils and this is what I ended up with. A bit of a mess really
.

You have a pretty nice style
Though, on the picture that you highlighted in blue, it's still pretty hard to make out what's going on, and that's probably because most of the lines are very thick, the same thickness at that.

Thanks for the complement!
The one with the blue is a bit hard to make out (sorry
). I never finished it. It was supposed to be a test for me, on using bold lines and colours. I put the blue there seconds before uploading it. The blue part that is shown is Ohmegs "phantom arms". If you see the one of him in sarcophagus, the phantom arms replace the sarcophagus arms. The picture of Ohmeg and Orinn is a little zoomed in (I was never thinking of showing it to anyone when I started). The context of it is this:
Ohmeg is holding Orinn upside down and playing with his hair. In the story of "Fix", it is implied that they once where in a relationship.

I think your art would benefit if you used lines with differing thicknesses. Like when you do small details or the background i think you should use thinner lines while for major parts of the body, use thinner lines. Also your lines seem to be very static and don't really vary in thickness and it kinda makes the picture feel stiff.
This would be an
example of having tapering lines with different thickness... hopefully this helps! I think it'll help with your pictures looking less "busy" and "cluttered" so it can look more simple like that one guy wanted for his doctor who picture.

Sorry but I cannot open the link.
A few days ago I got myself a nice set of ink pens (Faber-Castell) to replace the two pens I've had for about 4-5 years (Pilot). It has a nice varied selection from a fat brush to an XS one and all I can say is "wow". The ink just flows so much better and is so bold. I never liked to ink my work in the past as if I didn't like the outcome, I was screwed. The last few days I've been practicing drawing, inking and colouring. I'll upload them in a few minutes, but I must warn you. When I first started to draw, I would draw Sonic pictures (this was before I had the internet, so I never really knew how big the fandom was). When I saw the behemoth that was the Sonic fan base, I just kept it all to myself. At one point I met someone who was REALLY BIG into sonic and he begged me to put my sonic pictures on his website. It was the other members on his site I had trouble with. E.g. I showed a picture of a character called "Rackules". He came about from a game mag I had eons ago. It was something about going into debug mode, go to a strange area on a level in sonic3 and you can see a green sprite on Knuckles. I just built up on that and the other fans did not like me for it, as it was not cannon and the stigma attached to fan characters. A lot of heat came from someone who called himself "
Red the Hedgehog" (avatar was just a colour swap of sonic). I just couldn't be bothered with the fans anymore. But, I still love drawing Sonic stuff as I feel really comfortable doing it. I do it now to really just test my pens and colours. If you lot don't have a problem with fan art, I'll upload what I've been doing over the last few days. I also have some that are not sonic related and the wife wanted me do do some Chocobos for her, so you know, them too.

I lost this one for some time (I drew it on A6 and I have lots of piles of paper). I planed to redo it in photoshop on my touchscreen laptop. Sadly It gave up the ghost and I now use it to prop up my table. Again it was a request from my wife.

I found a gold mine of old pictures that I had packed away for sometime.
I had a period of time when I went gel pen mad. I just loved the strong colours I could get off them.
