some of them may look like familiar characters but i guess that goes with the territory

Those watercolors are WAY too timid! Get the color ON THE PAGE!

Aside from that, and anatomy issues, they're pretty solid designs.

Your doing 26 original designs so PUSH IT. All of your images so far (except the cyborg guy) look like generic 'superheroes in tights' stuff.

Go crazy - create some over the top designs, use this exercise to experiment and maybe create something new and fresh. Create drastic new spins on existing characters etc. Create characters around things beginning with the letter etc. Its a 'fun' assignment - GO CRAZY (again).

...and ditto what Chaosgoat said:

hey didnt i say that to somebody else ?

lol
yeah anatomy issues come from total lack of planning. i try to make them pretty accurate but i accept that there are going to be flaws due to the fact that i just start with no plan and scribble away

yeah they are going to get much weirder and hopefully more interesting.

Good designs.
