I think I see some of your interest in caricature coming through, these seem like more stylized and exageratesd versions of your other character works, I like the direction ![Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) |

Mentioning the five programs would help, eh? Although, it's kind of neat to try and guess.
1-Photoshop

3-Sketchbook Pro
4-Painter Essentials
5-MyPaint |
