Hey everyone! I've been commissioning artists for a while now, and this is the first time I've tried something like this (even though I've wanted to for a while).

Basically I've received permission from the extremely talented tyvon http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=10360.0 to post one of his pieces for critique.  It's for a game I'm working on, and while it looks great, everything without exception can be improved if you get good feedback from fellow artists.  So that's what I'm hoping for; some constructive criticism to improve the art that will be used in my game.

So here's the artwork  and here's the reference http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/213/2/b/The_Alchemist_by_Jin_api.jpg The artist of the reference is Jin-api http://jin-api.deviantart.com/

I'm hoping a lot for feedback on the eyes, hair, mouth and marking on his cheek.

Thanks!
