Two New'uns

The first drawing I have for you today is a WIP. I just finished the lineart now. :)
On the left is my friend Laura's RP character for a science fiction game we played during last school year/summer. (It was a very long, two part game, basically.) On the right is my character for that game, Anya. Our characters lived together on the same ship, and were basically best friends.
This line art is really old--five or six months, at least. And at the rate [I feel] I have been improving recently, that makes a big difference. This is also before I started forcing myself to draw characters without their toes pointing together. x(

This second one is a finished drawing that I'm actually really proud of. It's the new banner for my webcomic, Loser Corner. The website isn't live yet, but I'm getting everything ready for John to code it for me. (<3 ) From the left, it's Laura, Anna, Kari, Peter, Ellie, Me and John.
Ellie, John and me are the characters that appear most often--that's why we're bigger. The other four appear the second most often, I suppose.
I had a ton of fun drawing this. I'm really proud of the shading, particularly on Laura (in the yellow). I used stock/flickr for the bricks/Peter's shirt, though. I plan to change that at the earliest possible time.
