    The arms are too long, and the mouth a bit too long on one of them (i think it was named Ivellos or somethng), but other than that, it's good. Good!

    I like how you've done Ivellios' robe, and the swords look good. One thing I did notice is that the arms sometimes come out of the sleeves at odd angles. Try extending the arm back towards the shoulder to check that it lines up - you can always put it on a layer behind the sleeve afterwards.

    I think you made the arms too long because you calculated normal arm length from the end of the sleeve, not the shoulder.

    sleeves are not necessary, unless all your guys have robes.

    Anyways, good start.

    I find that if you're using a scalable graphic vector thingie, your lines are much to thin! Arms are also too long. I just started avatars, and I've had to do a bit of work getting arms and legs to look realistic.
