/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I'm wondering what you guys think. I'm trying really hard to reach professional levels,

So on a scale of Newbie to Amateur to Professional looking, what would you say?

(Let's say Newb is 0-4, Advanced but not pro is 5-7, and Pro is 8-10.)

And if you're an artist, can you tell me what I did wrong or how I could make this look better?

(It would be great if regular people/non artists answer too because an artist can tear anything apart, but the 'first reaction' of a non-artist is in some ways more valuable to gauge where you're really at.)

Note: I tried this post earlier but I made the mistake of using an unfinished sketch, so a lot of people rating me down because it wasn't a complete work. This is a complete panel, with full color so maybe that issue won't come up.)

Having said that, I did get some great critiques on my sketch that I put up, so I don't regret it.

Ok, so since I think having an incomplete sketch might be making harder for some people to gauge whether or not I'm nearing professional level, I've decided to post another picture here.

This is a a complete panel and in color, rather than a sketch.

(Still acknowledging all the critiques of the first picture as good and helpful, just wanted to put this here for the people who are giving me a 5 for the drawing being incomplete, and not composed.
