I think the eyes need something more then just abyss.
Unless he's wearing shades or something.
His right arm is looking good, his left arm is right fucked.
His bicept is too short, and his fore arm is too short, drop the elbow.

hey

I think the anatomy of their right arm (our left) needs some work. I think the sholder needs to be pushed up and the muscles of the arms need some attention. Anyhows I'm no expert on anatomy, so ya might wanna wait to see what others have to say.


Here is my take on the arm anyhows, although I ruined your nice shading, hehe. Hmm, I think I might have pushed the sholder up a bit to far, but I dunno.

edit

I just tried another really quick edit to try to better capture ya style.

at the moment, you have his arm's muscles too far down, which really isn't a difficult fix.
the bicep is too far down, which would normally make bending his arm impossible because it was lined up with the elbow. the forearm looks good, but the hand makes it appear like he has two fingers. by making it slightly wider and trying to show more fingers, even with just a few pixels, might help.
His stance indicates that his right leg is stretched to the side, which would lower his right side unless his other leg was either the same position or bent at the knee. Souly got to the other arm already, but I edited it in here anyways to show how it might look. His pose also suggests that his stomach is facing forward quite a bit, so his back should be at an angle. If you decide to move the arm up you might also want to stretch it out a bit...hope this helps.

-it looks like someone posted while i was writing this. their edit fixed up some things too..oh well.

well here's what i've got so far after messing around with it for awhile and listening to your crits. tried changing the palette to a more desaturated one too because i don't think brighter colors work so well with this piece.

edit: 'nother one

hey

Still issues with the arm anatomy, the sholder muscle or whatever seems to meet up with like the forearm, which I think is very odd.

The bicep looks distractingly small compared to the shoulder muscle... then again I'm no expert of muscle anatomy(if you couldn't tell by my lingo).

The arm on our left
is really really short.
It just goes from shoulder to forearm, with a hint of a bicep. But the bicep is the muscle, and the upper arm is more than just that one muscle, you know? So yeah, you're missing a large portion of arm, I believe.

In my opinion that new stomach looks and fits way better to your character than the old one.  :y:

Also dig that new weapon he carries.  ;D

 I like that pose it has very good balance.

 Don't like his right bicep, seems too low or perhaps his forearm is too high. If you stretched the left arm out I am not sure it would be the same length as the right arm.

 He started out fat now he looks pretty slim, unless you want him that way.

He has no elbow; Many random muscles. His shoulder looks a little bit disjointed.


Just a little edit of his right arm to point you in the right direction.

I love this piece; sure hope you finish it.
