[Mod. edit: fixed that for you! :wink: The "img" tags failed because the URL has https at the start and WP's forum software doesn't handle it correctly. Normally, the same image is available at an http version of the URL and that's what I tried below - it worked!]

I like the skull most of all although the nasal cavity (nose hole) stretches too high.

I got no industrial feel. I did, however, notice on thing I really liked: the subjects. However, I think you'd need to arrange them with industrial backgrounds for it to truly shine. Do you just do linework or is this just a rough draft?

Honestly, I had no plan for this, I started with a skull for practice, then decided just to keep drawing, so yea, I'm still adding to the background with more ind stuff (hopefully). I'm going to actually "color" it in with markers, as I seem pretty talented with them, though I'm thinking of use warm greys from the background and cool greys for the skull and forground

Interesting, rare you see marker art these days. The color idea works, but my curiosity can't be piqued about what subjects you will use for the background. I have found it hard to achieve a truly industrial tone.

Look over Giger's paintings, you might pick up some interesting ideas.
