I know the perspective is all wrong on both, but i'm not going to fix it! :D
I'd rather paint something new with a correct perspective.
Characters are mine; namely Kleo and Vilitas. Married magician pair. They live in an open marriage because they are a "for display only" couple. Business is easier this way. Both of them are aware that their partner is living an active sex life without the other.
Reptiles... gosh...

Awesome stuff!
If you want to have accurate perspective, rather than thinking about systems of foreshortening with all those extra lines and stuff, I'd just get some reference photo's of similar poses, even if you take them of yourself. No amount of geometric or linear accuracy will be able to match an image drawn from life, well.
Not that I think your perspective is wrong, this is just a general statement.
My only real quibble is that judging from your lighting, your characters should probably be casting some shadows on themselves.

I never said i used/thought about any geometric-systematic stuff. =P I'm the last person you should be telling not to use them; you'd understand if you knew me personally.
Yes i know i could have used references. But there are times when i don't feel like searching for references for hours. Since it's not a paid work or anything, i could afford being lazy and paint on my impulses. It's just that some people like to appear clever and tell me that the perspective is wrong (even though they are right) - so i wrote that i don't care about it.
About the shadows: yes. Though that is all i can reply. Yes. Yes there are missing shadows. But then what? Do you feel that specific missing shadows could help in a meaningful way to illustrate the characters? Or that something important is lost without those shadows? Or simply that the absence of those shadows are disturbing the overall feel of the image, or something? This is an illustration, and the characteristic of such a category is that it's usually better off without realism, because anatomy, lighting, realistic colors and everything are only second to making a point. Making a point is the point of illustration. I don't see why the absence of some shadows is making the illustration less illustrative.
So yes, there are missing shadows, but i don't see the point of you telling me that.

I was just making a critique, man. I apologize if I came off as a jerk. At RCAD(Art school) critique is what we do, so much, that I tend to bring it into the rest of the word and expect a response like I would get there.
And to be honest, I never thought your perspective was wrong, I was just going with your image description.
