I was trying to keep this as close to the original boxart as I could. I probably should've posted a reference to it. The white outline on the lightning was already there. I sorta felt like I should add more contrast to the softer background. I'll try it and see what happens.
Reference is too large to post as a picture, so click here for it.

This is an old one that I decided to start fixing up. I wanted to know what changes you guys think I should make.

I fixed up the shading and face a bit using Helms edit for reference. I still have some things to fix up shading wise. I haven't done much to the hair
EDIT
Fixed it up a bit

EDIT2: Made some final touches and added a new background.

Thanks for the help, you've been great. I'll work on fixing the head and shading after I get some sleep, I have school tomorrow and it's late.  :blind:

I do now that I am thinking about it. Also I think instead of just starting from square one, I should just make the head smaller to not look so large compared to the face.
Here's a quick edit showing what I mean.

Also is there a technique or something I could do to get rid of that little flat spot on the top right part of the hair? I can't figure out how to get rid of it.

I actually plan on redoing the background, or at least removing it for a bit so I can rework the portrait itself and add it on later. I should've saved the background without the portrait, but oh well. It's not hard to make a new one. When I started making this I didn't exactly think of what feel I wanted to go for. Since I'm going to rework a majority of the shading and such I might as well restart from the face like Jad said I should. I might be able to save some of the face though, I dunno. The dithering being so off is because I'm new to it, although that isn't much of an excuse considering I know it's bad from looking at it myself. I should spend more time messing with it before I post it here.

I've never really thought about the kind of feeling my work gives, I just think something and sprite it. I wouldn't know what to do to change the feeling it's giving. A couple ideas that come to mind would be adding more shine to the eyes to give him that accomplished look, as well as adding a smile or something. And changing the palette to be lighter, as well as having a different, lighter background.

Also thanks for the edit, It should be of some help when reworking it.

What you just explained pretty much describes me, so that would be what I'm going for, considering it's a portrait of me.

<-Made several changes keeping Chris's tips in mind. I'm not about to go back and redo the face and hair at this point though.

My only reference is myself, and the only picture I have of myself is a couple of years old. I don't own a camera of any sort that I could take a picture of myself with.
EDIT: I forgot about the school photos, so that's going to be the best reference for now.

My hair is obviously longer now, but it'll have to do.

Keep in mind, I'm only 15 so my face looks younger than what you posted. I know it's only a rough edit, but I'm just letting everyone else know. I'll be sure to post my changes as soon as I'm done.
