Hee Hee! This is one of my favorite pictures! I like to draw happy skeletons too, but I never looked at how the bones an joints fit together so they look goofy and never this good. I will be studying your drawing.
He looks like he's cradling the earth in his pelvis if you look at it a certain way. Really terrific drawing...especially looking through the rib cage...
Amazing... and just in time, i needed a good perspective skeleton image for a piece i'm working on.
Awesome awesome. Arg, my puny brain can't figure out how you make your lines look so pencil-like. =(
Good spotting poppa, lol.
"Momma's little baby loves skeletons, skeletons....." Ok, that wasn't funny. But this is. "He's got the whole world, in his pants. He's got the whole world, in his pants. He's got the whole world in his CROTCH!" Ok, maybe that wasn't funny either. I try to keep myself amused. Amazing work you have here, none the less.
Over all I love your ability to have such clean, yet very sketchy/pencil type line work. I dont' have alot of skill, but since you're looking for "help" I'd say the fingers and toes need a little work. Whenever I had to draw them in highschool and in my figure drawing class last semester I just thought of them as seperate little shapes, and not fingers at all. I actually got quite into it, how each little digit flows into the next one.
Beautiful work though over all.
Looks pretty good when you take a glance, but in detail (assuming you're practicing the real human skeleton) there could be some improvements. LisaAnne did cover the fingers which will need more joints and the hands themselves have tons of smaller details near the wrist (find a reference for accuracy/this also goes for the feet). The right hand angle looks funky along the pinky and the bottom of the hand too (might wanna mess with that to get it to look right). I also see that the right thigh bone (?) gets rather thin as it gets to the ball part of the bone near the pelvis, but on the left side, it doesn't making it look a bit deformed in comparison. There are more things but I'm kinda in a hurry at the moment so if you need another person's eye for some help again, I'll give you more things to look at. Good luck with that.
Wow, first of all, that's totally awesome. Okay now for the help with anatomy. It looks like you have the ribs articulated to the scapula (shoulder blade). The colar bone is the only bone besides the humorus that is attatched to the scapula. The scapula sort of floats over the rib cage and glides back and forth and up and down when the arms move. You're missing the last two false ribs but that's not really a big deal because they'd have to be seen through the rib cage. There should be some vertabral processes visible at this angle. The ball joint of the femur comes off at more of an angle. The right femur is pretty close to the right angle. And finally just make sure that there is a clear distinction between the tibia and fibula of the lower legs. But I absolutely love the rotation you put on the radius and ulna! That's perfect and just breath takingly gorgeous. I'm in anatomy class this year and I'm absolutely fascinated by the beauty and form of the vertabrate skeletal system. I've also noticed that the anatomybase has helped my drawing, always a plus. If you want a good reference book for antatomy for art I would suggest "Drawing Human Anatomy" by Giovanni Civardi. It's pretty in depth and leaves out all the really deep tissue organs and muscles that have absolutely no effect on the outward shape of the body.

It is a pity your website does not work anymore though... <:\
