My comments:
I like that we have someone who's used a pose with three characters (the second option for the rules/parameters), and also how you've used their street outfits and colors.

Harold, (Hey cool name, my dad is a Harold!)

For crits on yours, the first thing that jumps out at me is to try and loosen things up...
You've got an interesting set of poses here, but the thing is they come off a bit too posed, with their expressions a bit lifeless. I know a big struggle for me is the same thing, but it's really for me, investing time in the layout to make sure I keep things energetic and loose, and likely something that is mostly helped by practice and hours at the drawing board, just getting comfortable with your ability. And faces can always use more expression, they're just tought to do really well, but if you can, it really makes stuff POP!

Also, and this may be personal taste, the emphasis on the girls "who-hahs" is a bit strong...

Jason,

Thanks for the comment's, It was a big shoot for the gal’s at Super Real and they were a little nervous posing for a complete stranger, showing their bare bottoms and all:) But I strongly agree on needing to keep it loose and energetic. My sketch's seem full of life V.S. things that I try on. I have finally realized sometimes trying to hard will just mess things up. Once taking a good look at the drawing, I felt I should of hung more to my style instead of going to much for the animated look.

It’s Just part of learning the rope’s and the trick’s of the trade. I’ve also been working on my own book and it should be out by Summer. This book is taking my time as well. Preparing for advertising and so on. If you would like to take a glance at some of my very little art I have posted on my site so far, I would be honored. Some of it’s old and some new, but all hang’s close to my style. My web-site is www.unhingedstudios.com

By the way I’ve never read one of your book’s but traveled through your web-site a few time’s during and after the pin-up drawing and I began liking the stories. I’ll be grabbing a copy soon enough. “New Fan”

I just want to tell you when studying your site for the characters, I noticed “ Matureness Required” and I thought I would shoot for the Moon, With the Pin-up I did. “Sure glad I didn’t pose them naked.” :) "who-hahs"
