Thanks for your comments, they are very useful for me. And you made me realize for the millionth time that I really should sit down and study anatomy some day. Anyway, I edited the shoudler area trying to fix the issues you mentioned. It might not be perfect but hopefully it's an improvement. The problem with the eyes being too high up will fix itself I guess when I add hair, which I will. Thanks again.

I think the biggest problem here is the fact that he's a bit unbalanced. If you would try to stand like that you would most likely fall on your back. Also, the waist and hips looks really thin and his left foot looks to be in an awkward position. Here's a quick edit where I tried to address those problems and I also experimented with mirroring his upper body. You might like. On, and I also upped the contrast even more.

top of the head is too short - eyes are the halfway point of any human head.

Thanks for your comments. I think I agree with what most of what you said actually. For this particular image though, I think I'll continue with this palette and style but I'll definitely keep in mind what you said for future projects.

And that edit miascugh - I love it! As for my connection to mixnmojo. Apart from being a fan and reader since the beginning of the site, my own (now abandoned) site LucasHacks is hosted on the mojo network.

And finally, after a few million mouse clicks, here is the latest WIP of the face...
