Ehh, I really think what you should do is rework from the ground up in order to understand where the style your emulating comes from. I'm not saying to stop drawing in this style, but you ought to consider supplimenting your ability by drawing realistically as well.
You need a better concept of the 3D form. You must envision how the things you draw work in 3D space. Drawing cubes and cylinders in perspective is below nobody and it's really good practice. But while you work on this, the bigger hurdle you must overcome is proper anatomy. Before I get to that, I want to note that I think your poses are pretty effective. Maybe enhance the emotion with one of the characters kicking a leg behind her body? Just a thought.
So even when you draw in a "style", anatomical truths must be considered. For example, your shoulders need work and it's obvious you don't know how the muscles and bones and skin are layered on the torso. Arms are also really important. Even females with very little in the way of defined muscles as you've drawn here still have shapes that are defined by the muscles under the skin. As an example, the blue character's right forearm just does not work. It's okay to use references when you're learning to see how something works, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. It all ties into a firm knowledge of anatomy and a concept of mass and form.
Speaking of, once you begin developing that knowledge, shading benefits you greatly. Even just a single, faint, hard-lined shadow to define shapes will make this piece three times better, no exaggeration. Right now it looks as though you have no concept of the mass of the breasts, but the right shading on them will help tremendously.
I also urge you to reevaluate your facial and head structure. Is the largeness of the heads part of the style you're going for? What would be good is to draw a sphere below the head as a guide - a sphere, not a circle - and build the features onto that such as ears. Your heads right now look...tall, and a little flat. Again, know the form that you're drawing in 3D space instead of just putting the lines where you think they fit in.
Hope this helps. Here's to improvement!

If you want to draw with flat colour, I'd suggest looking into a style called Ligne Claire. It's entire purpose is using flat colour and simple lines to create depth in a picture.
And I don't think that's what they meant by "3d form." You can make something look 3D without shading. The human body is a very round thing. Even arms and legs, which are straight, still bulge out in some places, and pinch in at others. Doing very simple things like adding fold lines in skin and fabric are really all you need.

It's a very wonderful style. It's been around for a while, but I only just heard about it a few weeks ago from an art school friend.
I used Opencanvas 1.1 which is entirely free and a very cheap tablet to digitally colour with.
There are many free problems like inkscape and Gimp to experiment with.
You do not need to pay for a program specifically to do art and anyway, it's not the tools that make artists good, it's how they're used.
"Their critiquing offends me so"
Yeah and that's why your art hasn't improved at all in 10 months, if anything its gotten worse. If you don't accept help and advice WHICH BY THE WAY HARDLY HAPPENS then you will hardly improve.
Unless of course you always want to suck at art ? Look in my gallery at my early stuff, it was so CRAP, seriously embarrassing stuff man. But every time people gave me crits I listened. I wish I could get as much help now as I used to, I have to really seek out crits and advice now.
But for fucks sake stop seeing critique as a negative thing. Its a huge bonus a lot of people don't get. Take it and use it.
Oh and by the way, in case you didn't notice, comments such as "oh your art is fucking hot your amazing" are just as bad as "ugh this sucks its shit" are both useless as neither serve to aid you in understanding what you actually did well or bad regarding your capabilities.

Why ask me this? If you think I suck, don't comment on my arts at all, in fact, block me if you wish. I know my arts look the damn same and may be because I don't want to improve from those fucking critiques I've been given, but it's my style and I still try, but I'm stressed from high school and college stuff that I couldn't practice well enough. You could be right, all comments might be useless. To m, critiques are like what drill sergeants tell their maggots in military camp, that they're weak and spineless and would never live up to anything they hoped to gain, so if you're gonna tell me the same thing, fine. I understand you think I have artworks that says I'm a NO Talent person or something and that I should retire from doing crap like this. Ok, I hear you. I still try though, I just want to get my arts done a quickly as I can. If you STILL believe my art is no good, then you'd know I don't or never deserve a critique that you and everyone else knows I don't want to hear. I want to improve but not in a way that some believe it's helpful for.
In short, You don't like my art? Then DON'T comment at all.

"If you think I suck, don't comment on my arts at all"
Because you've just submitted your art to a public space, you can't tell me not to comment when your telling people their fair, helpful and honest critique offends you.
"I don't want to improve from those fucking critiques"
Why ? Really, I would like to know why ?
"and that I should retire from doing crap like this"
When did I tell you that you should stop drawing, If you actually read what I said I actually associated my own art with yours.
"I just want to get my arts done a quickly as I can"
Quality>Quantity, Cant emphasise that enough. Do you even take the time to reflect on what you've drawn or how you could make it better?
"I want to improve but not in a way that some believe it's helpful for. "
Some? Its a proven method, Either stop talking crap or get some supporting evidence to prove that GOOD constructive crits don't help. At the very least the prevent people getting a huge ass ego. Oddly enough your reacting in that manner, being so grateful for all the ass pats and denying anything that isn't an asspat to your art.
"You don't like my art? Then DON'T comment at all"
Its not your art I don't like, because we all have different level of skills and talents, its your attitude to art that is appalling.
I don't think you can even justify what you have said in regard to what I've just said, I've just basically e-raped your comment via my reply.

"but it's my style".
There's your problem. You don't have to change your style, you have to learn the basics so you can stylise and have it look better.
A lack of mass in a figure is not part of a style, it's a lack of mass.
Not cleaning your work up is not a style unless you have a style that can incorporate it, and you do not have a style that can incorporate it.
It's not your style that needs to change if you want to improve, it's your understanding of mass, lineweight, form and depth that needs to become more extensive.
"To m, critiques are like what drill sergeants tell their maggots in military camp, that they're weak and spineless and would never live up to anything they hoped to gain, so if you're gonna tell me the same thing, fine."
And I suppose asspats like others are giving you are going to help? A good critique is the equivalent of helping you pack what you need for a twenty mile hike to improve your fitness, not a drill sargeant supposedly yelling at you.
"I understand you think I have artworks that says I'm a NO Talent person or something and that I should retire from doing crap like this."
Nobody said that. If we thought you should, we'd have said "this is terrible, stop drawing", instead we told you what you could try to improve you work in future drawings.
But if you're too thin skinned to handle anything that isn't "murr sexy", you might want to rethink art as a hobby since there are people out there who will actually tear you down.
You need to understand just how lucky you are. I've seen a lot of artists come and go, and I hate negative critique as well, but you know what? constructive criticism is something that's SO hard to come by in a fandom of asskissers that you're missing out on an incredibly rare gift.
Few people in the world can properly constructively criticise art, and even fewer can do it well. I've seen no less than a half-dozen good artists (who have all been on this site far longer than you) give you some very helpful constructive criticism here. The fact that they care enough to give intimate details about what you're doing wrong and how to improve it shows that you're worth helping, and instead of thanking them you just lash out at them?
that's just plain ignorant. you're being given diamonds and shitting on them. I hope you never improve with this attitude. In fact, just go away if you're going to be like that. I would KILL for some of the advice given here, and you're being aggrssive? fuck that.

Well, I'd like to apologize for being ignorant and for being an ass for the criticism they've given me. But I WAS feeling strongly about the criticism given to me cause at first I thought it was some constructive pointer to piss me off or something else to piss me off for no reason until someone else before you told me something a little similar and convincing you told me now. Again I apologize and I will also apologize for the others who've given me criticisms and I'd probably need to unblock some who've told me the same or the opposite of what you told me. My attitude was wrong and I take responsibility for the actions and the drama I cause and ironically try to avoid. Please forgive me and I will also delete this journal and create a new one and hopefully find some new way to improve my latest cartoon arts in the finest and most assisting way possible. If not, then I'm sorry for ignoring your and others' advice to improve and cooperate.

And as a result, you have a deadly, highly trained force of soldiers. The best way to learn anything, in school or in life, is through critique - people make mistakes and other people are there to tell them where they've gone wrong!

If you can't take the heat, stay out fo the kitchen. People WILL critique regardless usually, especially if they see a rookie artist like yourself.
Would you rather people say this piece of work sucks instead of what Aden's first comment was?
If you can't take criticism/critique well, you shouldn't be an artist if you have thin skin.

Your linework isn't very clean. How about in future taking a short time to neaten up the places where one line has gone over another one? (See the first finger of purity's hand)
Also I think you need to pay attention to the details, you've actually left a background section in between two bits of puritys hair uncoloured.
Have you considered using different line thicknesses to make the image more 3D and you could probably also benefit from spend some time on making your curves smoother. The other thing would be mass, breasts pressed together like that wouldn't smoosh like you have them, they're firmer than that, so they'd smoosh somewhat but the characters ribcages wouldn't be so close together.
Tibleam's hands also show a lack of mass, one is disappearing under the other but the one on top isn't raised up so it makes it look like the other one is paper thin.
Also you wouldn't see either characters crotch area with the position of their pelvises, so you could have left that out.
You could try experimenting with cell shading if you don't think you're up to doing soft shading. Just remember that things have mass.
I think you need to spend a little time on the basics like perspective, mass and anatomy. I know they do look hard when you're just starting out but anyone can learn to master them, it just takes practice and study.
