Hey, Liquide!
Nice gallery. Of course, I saw most of those pictures in other threads, so I'll just skim over some of my earlier points:
Fur - Don't try and render every single strand of fur. It doesn't come out right. Instead, you must treat fur the same way your treat scales, rendering only the outline and some shadows (look at my werewolf for some guidelines).
Kobolds - Yeah, yeah, I know your kobolds are larger and meaner, but remember to make small creatures look like they're small even without anything else in the picture to indicate their relative size (slightly larger heads and stuff... look at children for the basics).
You have a pretty good pencil control (your art comes out clean and clear) and you have an eye for detail (like in the cyborg hunter), which is always good.
But my single best advice for you is proportion. Try using the basic 8-head proportion guideline accepted by most artists (the human body is eight heads tall, three heads wide and so forth...). Both of your females have arms going all the way down to their knees, when they should end at mid-thigh, and the shoulder are much wider than the waist/hips, which is a very manly proportion.
I like your armor designs, they're very inventive and original, and I love that you're kobolds have an unified look, so you can readily tell that they're the same race.
All in all, nice work!
Draw On!
