I've been working on this for the last few days... and something just seems off about it... I think the anatomy is a little off, but I just can't really figure out where... something about his legs... I think.. that and I think he looks a little bear.. but I'm not to sure what to add, I've tried adding a trench coat and a cape but.. either I'm just not drawing them right or he needs something else... what do you guys think?

Those are my dilemmas..

Well I finished the original sprite I had, and I wanted to try an arms crossed pose.. I think I have the anatomy right.. but his forearms just look like noodles to me.. not really like solid forearms... I think it's a shading problem... but I'm not really sure what part of shading the forearms is making it look like this.. that and I'm not real sure what to do with the hands.. I  think I have them in a good position.. but the hand on his right makes his forearm look skinny because of the fingers... So I'm kinda stumped... this is something I have trouble with often when ever I try to make a crossed arms pose...

Anyone have any ideas?..
