It's very good. I can't see much wrong with it at all, but as far as movement goes, perhaps the closest piece of Fry's jacket should be hanging forward a bit more. Also, if there's an explosion behind him, maybe the forks of his fringe should be blown forward a little bit too. That's about all really... it's really good :)

Great sketch. Only nitpick is Fry's right hand's fingers. They look a little, well, stiff. If you know what I mean.

I think the top one is better. Also, I just spotted this now btw, that Fry's left foot is a tad big, considering it's supposed to be futher away than his right. Otherwise, good edit :)

Awesome! Just awesome, as always. I especially like the dust trail on that bit of rock debris passing Fry. Beautifully done, the quality of your finished products always seem to astound me. Especially your backgrounds, because I suck at them and yours are fantastic. ;D

I'll put this up at TLZ soon for you too :)

Excellent. The pencil drawing looked a bit static, didn't give the idea of Fry jumping in the air more than him just kneeling.

But your coloring as always makes the pic two times better, and the details like the flying rock with dust give movement to it.
Really great, you could be doing Official Futurama fanart with no problems at all, i'd say. :)
