Man!  That pencil almost looks REAL

Seriously, good art work.  I'd like to see you upgrade your tools from pencil and paper to photoshop, Photodraw, or one of the other tools used for developing skins.  I'd also like to see some shadow work, reflections, etc.  Sketches are good for illustrating something quickly, and it's something that I must do myself as an engineer; however, for example, my senior project will require a bit more polish...the use of shaders, bump maps, etc. so that the viewer will have more eye candy to keep their eyes happy and allows them to stay with the images longer, and perhaps to gain more understanding of what they represent. 

In otherwords it looks like you have skill, so perhaps you should start climbing the technology wave and look toward riding at the crest.  Take a look at the Doom3 SDK...it lists all the tools they used for developing the final product.  There's also Half-Life 2 which included their list of tools.

Wow man, this is some "GOOD" work...
Btw I think your drawings looks more Quakish then what I saw in the PCG screenshots...

Edit: Added Officially released screens;

I must say this is (the Strogg in the first pic) looking very very good but I don't think it fits in Quake Theme,





Sorry the screens are big but I'm direct linking them...

Those drawing skills of yours are so absolutely superb, that the only skill you're missing is shading it seems (but maybe you just didn't shade those pics).
But your eye for detail is fan-freaking-tastic.

As for the concept itself, they're definitely cool, but they don't really strike me as Strogg-like. Strogg technology looks a bit more like human tech with sleeker armour surfaces, but gritty gadgetery underneath and roughly fused skin sections.

I think I hate you and I want your skill.  

WOW! Those drawings are INSANE! YAY! Concept art and screenshots! Those are seriously sick characters you guys. They totaly beast Doom III, like completely own it. Those are soooooooooo awesome. I'm really looking forward to Quake 4. But were are the movies Oh well, I shouldn't complain, those are some sick screenshots and drawings.

Those drawings are dam good , well done , I like them .

But just a tip , try to make different parts of your your characters show up better by shading differently and using light and shadow to really do your work justice , becaus the one drawing everything seems to mould togeather and is a bit difficult to identify part to part .

I'm not criticising just helping   , If you practiced your light and shadow effects you could well be one of the best pencil concept artists out there .

A way to help parts stick out more is to use a range of different pncil shades , use from 4H to 10B thats what I use if I draw with pencil use 10B for black shadow and 4H for reflections and light effects , and range in between those shades for the best results in making your character stand out .

Keep it up
