Critique Requested

This is the art I mentioned in a previous comment that I am struggling with, particularly the character wearing the red shirt. I'm mostly okay with the one in blue, but I know he could be improved as well.

The one in the red shirt though . . . he looks like a doll or something. Part of the problem is that the character himself (Wayne from Letterkenny) is pretty stiff. I mean, his nickname is "Shirtucker". He never untucks his shirt or unbuttons his cuffs (unless he's about to get in a fight). He barely even smiles. The actor tends to play him as moving his whole body when other people would do something else. Wayne is whatever the opposite of languid would be.

Anyway, I went overboard with the stiffness. I used a reference photo, but I had to move the arm.

Rodney's Sonnet

[mific]

Title: Rodney's Sonnet
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Artist: mific 
Rating: G
Medium: traditional - pen and ink, watercolour shading
Characters/Pairings: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard
Summary: A love sonnet for John.
Content Notes: Created for the "inspired by poetry" challenge. This work is part of an historical AU series of mine in which Rodney's a playwright and John an actor in an Elizabethan company called the Atlantis Players. I wrote this sonnet a while back for the (still WIP) story, so I figured I might as well post it, both for this challenge and for National Poetry month. No AO3 warnings apply.

Challenge 24: Hope is a strange invention

[mekare]

Title: Hope is a strange invention
Artist: mekare
Rating: G
Fandom: Guardian (TV)
Characters: Shen Wei&Ye Zun
Content Notes: I used this tutorial for the background, did two test runs on small format pieces, one of which turned out a lot better than this - it was a lot easier to create this type of background without having to paint around a shape that was supposed to stay white. Ah well. Next time I'll probably use masking tape to cover the area.
