second attempt and last time posting this here. improvement or no?[/QUOTE]
Yes, the colours are much better (to nitpick, chicken leg shadow should be desaturated more [I]maybe[/I] (muh screens aren't calibrated), errything else is good). I feel like the image is better now overall. Remember to continue practicing plasticity.
Also I would add that you should use highlights, but that will be easier once you start placing these characters into actual places.

Could you make the first 2 into wallapapers?
I would use the shit out of them. Might even put the ODST on my phone as is.

the pose looks really really weird, kinda wonky... can't exactly put my finger on it. also is he missing a leg or something?
the other two are fantastic though.
Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, but does anyone have any good tips for me to get back into painting and drawing?
I haven't painted or drawn anything (literally a doodle or a sketch) in the past 10 months.

paint or draw something? instead of asking, just go and do it. you aren't going to get anything done if you keep thinking of what you're going to do.
you can try this:

its a group where they give you 3 daily topics and you have to paint one in 30 minutes.

Yeah, i know. It appears to be really hard for me to draw relaxed poses. I used some references for this, but it still looks bad. And yes, he's missing his leg :3

As much as I hate that I've became that guy who asks people to tell him he's right, could you guys critique the two following flyer designs? One's mine, the other's my boss'. I'm having a difficult time trying to diplomatically tell him that whenever he gets his hands on any media I've made, he always fucks it up. Just [I]every fucking time[/I] he puts the saturation up to 11, refuses to acknowledge that less is more and that there's actually such a thing as mid-tones.
Also perhaps if I can get some critique on the one I did I can fix that one up to the point where he'll drop his own.

I wouldn't normally post this sort of shit but this is like the 8th time he's done the exact same shit to something I've designed. There's only so many times I can let him, in my opinion, butcher media before what design sensibilities I have scream out of my head. I know there's that whole the-client-is-always-right shtick but on the other hand I'd rather not keep endorsing his sorts of design.

Your colours look like a washed out scanned image, his are way too saturated.
He used negative space better, his text is way more readable to my eyes because of that, so I'd work on that. Also liven up those colours a little bit.
Thanks! I'll up the saturation. Could you explain how exactly he used negative space better?
You crammed everything together, he actually let the different text rest in their own respective places.
You need hierarchy in your layout, what is important to get across right away and what isn't?
Fair! I thought the justified text was aesthetically pleasing but you're right.
[url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7346219/FlyerRobinUNFLATTENEDOswaldSpaced.jpg[/url]
How's this for a revision?
Sometimes regarding saturation I wonder if I see colours differently; I seem to have a preference for more muted colours than most people. When I up the saturation any more than that I think it starts to look worse.
i find both of them cluttered and hard on the eyes

I think that's much better. The "absolutely free" part doesn't fit in well though. You've upped the size a nudge, changed the colour and put it in capital letters, this is a lot more than necessary. You should either up the size or go for the colour contrast, just nudging the size up a bit but still keeping it almost the same has too little contrast causing it to only annoy.
I would suggest not using more than 2 kinds of contrasts. Colour/size, size/capitals, capitals/colour. I'm also sure it can stand on it's own down there, not part of the sentence but rather just as a heads up, having "desires," and nothing more next to it just seems unnecessary. Going for a capitals/colour contrast could fix that though.
Why is there a white border on the edge and why is the logo completely different from the one on the website?

Thanks, those contrast tips are super helpful! I'll have a play with that tomorrow.
The website is being completely redesigned (in fact that's almost done; the web designer is just doing the finishing touches), along with the logo and the pig mascot (being replaced by the robot). I couldn't be happier about the website revision; it's pretty embarrassing when I have to tell potential clients who I work for when the first thing they're going to do is look at that website and think I'm responsible for that eyesore.

I'm a bit too tired right now to write about typographical placement. I'd share my notes from college since they're our professor for typography has really good lectures, but I'd have to translate them from Slovenian.
But basically, it's like composition. Just like how composition has a basic structure that you work with before you start adding in the graphical elements, so does type form into three basic shapes: line, square and dot. All of them pull towards each other depending on distance, as well as with the edges of the format.
[IMG]http://u.cubeupload.com/Signal/871Breznaslova.png[/IMG]
Sketching your text with these shapes on a piece of paper helps work out how to position things easier.
so looking at how the eye travels, it's also important to note that symmetry isn't always a good thing, but balance and weight - the size of an element as well as the way negative space that surrounds it pushes the element does matter
[IMG]http://u.cubeupload.com/Signal/5d7Breznaslova.png[/IMG]
The example on the right isn't all that great since there should be a lot more room on the top, but it does show how the placement causes things to work differently. The placement of the blocks gives the eye a circular motion and then the group of dots and lines at the bottom right locks it. The one on the right is just kind of... odd, which causes the eyes to dance around. Your boss did not follow a single rule regarding how to place the type except for one: [I]when in doubt, just add more negative space, it will always look better.[/I]
Individual letters themselves also follow the same rules on their own (if you look at how the letter F has different tension within itself than the letter E or A), but honestly I'm pooped and can't be arsed at the moment to explain that.
I hope this confused mess of a post helps you. If it doesn't, then just follow the "when in doubt, add more negative space" rule, since it almost universally pays off.
