Just in case you can't understand why nobody is posting lots of replies ... let me try to fill you in on possible reasons ...

First I would suggest that you modify your topic title ..!!! Few (good) artists could be bothered to help a fellow artist who does not take his own work seriously, and who have no self-confidence. Statements like: "I know it's not good but what the hey !!" just will not rouse much interest among most people ... I would also seriously consider changing the picture descriptions in your DeviantArt gallery for the exact same reason.
Don't be shy or show fake modesty, or if you will, please do it in a convincing manner.

Why would you want to post your images on DeviantArt with descriptions and all, and then invite people from Sijun to come over and have a look if you don't like your own work ???
Hopefully it is because you like what you do, and you would like to have it confirmed by others ...

Second I would suggest that you instead of asking for crits on 15 different pieces, try to choose one, or possibly two, if they are somehow linked ... It would also make sense to direktly display it in the board, rather than having an external link ...

Third, Graphic design in general is no what most people here is about, so there are fewer people around who would appreciate it. I was trained as a Graphic Designer myself, and I have a BA(Hons) degree to show for it ... just in case you don't think I know what I'm talking about ... I do

Finally I would like to say that you have a good potential, many of your pieces might appeal to a certain target audience, a good way to see who would probably be to look at yourself. Your age, your musical preferences, your interests and so on.

However, if you want to work as a graphic designer, you would have to be able to disconnect from the grungemetal-skate style, and make wrappers for lollipos too, or packaging for tomato soup, or design leaflets for the Osteoporosis Campaign ...

You get the idea.
