looks great, although it seems as if he's got his belly pushed up against a plane of glass. This is due to the way the highlights are curved around in a circular way as if it is the end of a cylinder.
Also the arm on the right side of the image has no bicept mass in comparison the the other arm where it is bulging.
another thing to think about is if he is suppose to be obese how much muscle should be ripped like that. the arms dont look obese at all.
i like the colors and the face is interesting

alex: i see what youre talking about, will fix. hmm, i dont really think his arms are very ripped at all, plus most figures that are obese have quite a bit of muscle mass behind it, so i think its reasonable.
feron: im definitely too lazy to go beyond the thighs. as for the eyes, i kept it at one because he has no interesting design features( accesories etc) so im keeping him a cyclops for interests sake.

The red seems so out of place, but that seems to be the case with most of your works. Other than that, the colors look cool (no pun intended). His neck looks a bit odd. Give him nipples too, please. :y:

His right arm, at least for my 2 cents, is SUPER RIPPED.  He looks like the hulk.  And while you are quite right that fat people or creatures can have a lot of muscle, it is behind the fat.  Meaning, it lacks definition!  However, from where I'm standing, this is all irrelevant, I think the muscley arm looks quite good on this character!  The only thing I would change as you move forward is you've put 5 or 6 fatty rolls into his otherwise very smooth looking belly, there on the left side of the image.  They're shaded quite dark, and they're just reading as strange skin features, rather than fatty grossness (unlike the excellent pectoral highlights).

And, this may be irrelevant, but how did he get so fat without a mouth?

EDIT - mccow he already has one, how many does he need :P

feron: he doesnt have the money to buy those unfortunately, his boyfriend left him when he was caught cheating one drunken night :/
mccow: i think my update will fix the neck.
adam: i dont see his arm as defined at all, maybe im just use to defining muscles too much. ive gotten rid of those little ripples.

i gave him a dick because im tired of drawing genderless organisms.

Maybe I just don't get it, but the neck area really isn't working for me.
Don't know what's going on with his right shoulder, but I think it looks really disgusting.
Also, the dick could use some work. Look at some Ancient Greek/Roman statues - David might be a good reference too.

the neck seems to be in 360 O.o and the belly still seems to have a plain part.
