The only thing that can be improved is the background. The color does not match the pic. Well, if u add a simple lamp might suggest they r at home. Then it would be ok. However, right now I thought they r in a bar
First off I'm going to highlight what is GOOD! I mean it's all good but what's very good is the shading. It's consistent for both of them. The light source and the depth. The line art is very clean and concise. But the way that you've treated the shadows in some of the area's really shows your knowledge of how to add more detail to something subtly. For example the slight folds in nar's chest and Bu's wings. Even the extra defining on muscles. The colored outlines also make the picture a lot softer and the light colors stand out more.
Now onto the not necessarily bad things, but some things that I noticed that seem a bit odd. Or could be a little more defined or revised. the first things I noticed was Bu's hands. Where as they both have very nice poses, good weight and character bu's hands seem sort of stubby. And not really placing his weight well. Spreading out the fingers more and making the ends of the fingers a bit longer would help a lot. They look kind of stuby for lack of better words. And where as he looks like he's really into it and leaning a bit forward there isn't any tension showing. The back ground in this sort of picture is something hard to critique as it's a light hearted piece and anything to detailed would really take away from the foreground which is obviously what you want people to focus on. But such a contrasting red color/ gradient just doesn't seem to mesh well. That and it's TOO solid, it looks kinda pasted in rather then being a part of it, or helping to enhance or frame them better.
The *cough* Lemonde lol in the picture is obviously lemonade! but it's so solid it's hard to tell it's really juice it looks almost solid in the pitcher. It's in a clear pitcher and when he sprays it should be diluted but I can't see anything behind it, which gives the illusion that it's a lot more solid? maybe seeing a thin vague outline of the edge of the table or bu's arm behind it would make it look more like clear lemonade? as lemonade is like...watery yellow stuff?. Over all it still cracks me up and is very well rendered! even your little spoofs have a lot of great detail and are very polished.
