Character Ref Input Wanted!

In my desire to better communicate my visual ideas I have been working towards, for a long time, what I have been doing now as Character Reference Sheets. It has, definitely taken me a while to get to this point and I am CERTAIN (even if you say otherwise) that i have improved since I started on dA (but that is a matter for another journal).

I have drawn 4 of these ref sheets, but onloy two have been posted on devArt (the other two are for a project I am still keeping kind of "undercovers")and I, as usual, haven't gotten much feedback on them at all. Now, this is a bit of a pain in the arse for me, because the primary reason for me to do these character sheets is to communicate my visual ideas to other artists who would better be able to technically draw them well.

Now, The ones I have up so far are these:

What I am looking for here is critical opinion on how well this style of design sheet (with included height and weight and rear view and such) helps you, as an artist, draw these characters better than just a regular front view of the character would and, without having to draw a sideview (as I am yet rather shitty at that) what I could do to maybe make it better.

I cannot think of any way to get a better critique on how well this helps you draw the designs than for you to actually draw them, so I'm sorry if you feel like I am just asking for free art.

No, no. I was just surprised at the speed at which you finished. No negativity implied.
