I notice pillow shading on the face and on a few places on the jacket. Also, this picture has high contrast, which is good, but the darkest shade seems like it was carelessly tossed around and does not blend. It creates the appearence of holes. This picture also looks very flat. The face almost looks like a cardboard cut-out, and there is no sense of roundness in the torso. The jacket colar on our right side is bigger than on the left. There is a good sense of texture in the picture, and the ambient light looks pretty cool altough it might look better if it wasn't so bright. Good work, keep it up.

well some things actually do look like that. i cant realy see where you mention it on the jacket, but the pillow shading in the face is intentional.

I personally like the one with the whackier colours. And yeah, the face does look a little pillow shaded, but not to a really bad extent.
