Cool drawings guys. Madman; I like how it looks like she's in a tornado really cool. And Neo I love the swords and the mini twister in her hand.

Here's another look at my Air Elemental: I smoothed out her upper body, I didn't like the tornado look for that, gave her some cloud armor, and an alternate head that can shoot an air blast. I figured she could use the bladed fans as a weapon, and that it would work thematically with the character.

And, just for fun, Captain Jack Sparrow! Spoilers for the movies, for the people who might not have seen them, follow: I gave him his sword, gun, compass, and a jar of dirt. Also, you could have alternate parts to reflect "Skeleton Jack". I just drew the skull head, because i'm lazy.

I like the new look for the air women. The clouds around her are a nice touch and I agree a pair of war fans would be a good weapon for her. And I LOVE Captain Jack, I loved both movies and that's a cool rendition of him. Maybe he could have a medalion for another accesorie.

I was going to draw his hat as an accessory, but I completely forgot. Oops!

By the way, thanks for all the great comments I've received. It's a great confidence boost, and i feel the quality of my sketchings has gone up, since each drawing has a possible audience.
Thanks a million!

Nice shading on the cloud armor pieces and good flow in the design of the alternate head shooting an air blast. Good choice to smooth out the basic body structure on your Air Elemental and equiping her with Fan-weapons (might even be nice to make it a set of two and in larger scale MK Kitana style www.totalmortalkombat.com/mksm/renders/render_kitana_sonya_fight.jpg). I may have to actually watch one of those Pirate movies one of these days.

I'm not crazy about elemental characters, but I like the cloud lady. Cool ideal for twister lower body/standing column for foot. Would rather see the breath twist come out of the beehive twirly head, instead of the perpendicular 'hair in the wind' look. Both heads are great, love the cloud armor, and ditto on the fan blades.
On the earlier lost cyborg drawing: great artwork, love the xevoz look, maybe be a Bio-Mecha (Neo-Sapien cloning attempt?). Idea - inspector gadget-style arm/leg extenders (IE: upper arm - lower arm - extender - hand). Maybe a battery as a joke piece.
New figure - Alpine Howler - Yeti MetaBeast
Overall look - long hair (like wookie) but also can see the strong muscles underneath. Color of fur is light brown with grey streaks (would that blend into alpine and forest settings?). Tall but not skinny like wookies.
There could be two heads. The first has the classic cone shape, and the expression is simple/bored, as in flat eyes, flat mouth. The second head has angry eyes, scrunched face, rounder head. The separate jaw piece w/teeth would give the Razor Claw or Moon Stalker a beard. If the jaw is closed, the face looks like determined anger, but open it is giving a fearsome roar.
Has a bandoleer that fits front - back (kind of like Inferno Fury) (one peg each piece), has a peg hole at the bottom (can hold sword, ect), and maybe two more on the back piece, several different pouches on the front. Bandoleer looks short for Yeti, but good on neo-sapiens.
Has two sets of big hands, each slightly different. Right hand for holding items/rods, Left hand a fist (with hole for peg/rod). Other hands - Right hand in a scoop shape, left hand grabbing open with peg hole for rock/snowball.
Accessories: Sniper rifle, scope (handle near stock for actual rifle aiming, unlike suppressor rifle with Alpha Ranger.) Has a goat leg with bite marks, doubles as club (but NO pegs to attach to body). Has a large rock with a peg for open hands, rock is actually three pieces that peg together (rock as one, can 'break apart'). Has a snowball w/peg for hand, and armor pieces are several snow patches (from drift snow or snowball hits). For character, has an arctic flower of some kind (Edelweiss?).

Sorry for the double post.
Love the kite. Perfect. Just had to say that.

Cool idea. Quite a few stories but if you want an alpine xevoz it would be called Sasquatch or Bigfoot. Yetis live in the himalayas while bigfoot/sasquatch lives in canada, northern United States, and up here in Alaska.
Haven't been thinking of ideas lately been working on Gino and another kaiju. Maybe some more tonight though.

Love it. You've done that before haven't you still looks great. I love the sickle and staff. it's a bit human for a hyper furie but for some type of earth arcaster it looks great.

Earth elemental - love the scythe for earth character, agree more of an earth Arcaster, especially with the elf-like face. Maybe more of a prairie elf than a wood elf. Have to say the cod piece can be very disturbing on several levels to some people. Again, great art skill!
Madman, good to see more drawings, keep up the good work!
Godzillalover, what about combining the two into one figure, Spiny Camo? Spiked caveman clubs already done, and I like more than one head for each character, creates so much more variety, just by changing the head. The back spine can plug in to the two back peg holes.
Like the Ninja sword idea, and the ball joints for the gecko eyes and tongue. You speak about dino repto heads having open mouths. I hope you mean articulated jaws. The larger head style easily allows the ball joints, and gives more action to the action figure.
On Alpine Howler, it's kind of a combination of yeti/bigfoot. I figure having one of each might be redundant.
