Description I haven't uploaded anything for a long time; I've been playing a fighting game called street fighter 5  

I drew the two characters I mainly play as (Vega on the left and Cody on the right).

I feel the shadow shape (especially on cody) could be improved. Let me know if you have any critique/suggestions!

I really like these pieces. The shading is simple but dramatic and it tells a story about the characters and their personality and emotions. For technical details, I'm not convinced about the anatomy on the arms. Very muscular men usually have striated muscles over the main ones giving a more elongated appearance. If you dissect a male arm that is very muscular you will see that the muscle shape follows the bone curve at lateral except for the shoulder and junction points. The smaller muscles shake out and are more visible than the underlining large muscle, and the striated ones curve slightly around the bone, and don't go straight down. But I really like your concept and am looking forward to seeing more.

I am very fan of street fighter so I can evaluate your work.
She is amazing, I like the color tone and the kind of stylized art that you have created.
Lately I've used Cody in the fighting, I find it easier to use than Vega.
Congratulations on the work, it was excellent!

Hey there! 
I love the comic hard shading style you got going here  
Ever thought about applying screentones to something like that? I think it could look quite cool.
Overall this is pretty good (you also got cool studies in your gallery!)

As for critique, I don't really get Codies arms. His right arm is foreshortened, but it's so bulky that it looks more like a clump. I know foreshortening is super hard, and I don't know how to fix it sadly. But maybe taking the curve from the thumb to define the wrist would help, instead of connecting it directly to the arm. 
And his left arm looks like it completely disappears under this small book. The fact that the arm and book line are nearly the same enhances the impression that something is amiss. I would either make a clear difference in what is more at the front, or just add a few hand details like fingers holding the book.

Hi! I'm here from ProjectComment with the tag word Power.  This artwork has a sense of power to it, especially with the defined muscle.  As a previous critique-er has said, the muscle shape isn't quite right.  I've noticed that the underside of the biceps is not usually as defined as the biceps themselves, so the main 'bulge' of the muscles there are concentrated on top.  I'm not the best at anatomy, but if you could find and work using a muscle structure guide I think it could help quite a bit with any muscle issues.  As for the shading, I would say for Vega, you've got the shading done very well, the muscles are defined partially by the shading and you did a good job.  But on Cody, I feel like the shading on his vest could be a little more diffused.  I would suggest lightening the shading on the top of the vest and making sure the shading around the arms is not too dark.
Your tag word for in DTKinetic 's gallery is snowflake.
