Also, if we're talking anatomical tips, I would consider making the neck a bit thicker and the shoulders slant down a bit as they go out. Otherwise it looks pretty neat, you should make a few of those

looks like someone from a boyband. It is very nice, the texture on the pnats is excellent but the whole character seems a bit squashed.

Great work there.I like the last one the most.
The two guys are ok too but you should consider making them 2D from beggining to end:)
Keep up the good work!

Nice character designs. The moose is my favorite. But I think that's cos there's moose here in NFLD.

Good characters. For the first one: I think it has good potential. I think that the shading on the pants ruin the 2D look, I also think the neck should be thicker. The second character has, well... more character. There is actually some noticiable emotion and depth in the face and eyes... hard to do. I think the moose is great although I think you need to spice up the body more... you are certaintly capable of that... great creativity!
