Artist A: Nice, simple style. I enjoy the soft coloring. :] However, the girl looks kinda... old? I know it's supposed to be her chin, but the length of her face and lowness of her mouth makes it look like her cheeks are sagging. As Toast said, it doesn't look like the same character. But well done in other aspects.
Artist B: Nice attempt at an action scene, those monsters look pretty cool. The fighter looks pretty off pose-wise. I'd suggest making a pose yourself before you attempt to draw it. The way she's holding her sword (and with one hand) would make it very difficult to swing, let alone actually cut into something. For her attack to make any sense, the blade would have to be facing downward and her arm moving down along with it. (I hope I'm making sense, apologies if I sound like a rambling idiot XD) Her left leg looks alright (though the heel should be more firmly planted, bringing the toes up a bit), but her right leg should be more forward than back. She looks like she's going to fall on her side. Nice attempt, though! Keep working at it.
Artist C: Realism isn't one of my strong points, but from what I can tell, this is nicely done. The hatching makes her look soft, yet still battle ready. This almost looks like a military portrait. Perhaps giving her some pupils or other kind of shading to darken the eyes a bit would make them look more lively. Otherwise, really well done. I am especially fond of the details in her hair.
Artist D: I see nothing really wrong with this one, other than it looks pretty rushed overall. The lines on the figure are alright, but the background looks sloppy and thrown together. The coloring is really blotchy. I think this would have been better if you had just toned it or even left it in black and white. So yeah, just gotta put a little more time into the piece. :]
Artist C gets my vote for an overall well executed piece. D was a close second, but the colors threw me off. Nice entries in general, good work!
