Sijuns forum is back!! Yippiee!!
*jumping up and down in the chair*

Well here's a pic i've been working on during the weekend.( 3 evenings.)
The problem is the background, i was thinking of just adding some cool colors and fog.
But I think that would make the face less interesting. Maybe someone could help me out..

Warning, large image. 200kb

Awetopsy: well when you mension it..
Ive tryed like 5 different lens colors for the googles but the green did look best. I was afraid everyone would say
- He looks like the guy from the game "Gunman chronicles"

Guy: Yeah, i know what you mean. Ive done som big changes with the neck an the background now, but i wont post it until im satisfyed with it.

Thanks guys... ill keep working..

He does look a little on the stiff side. I do really like his scar though. And the diffuse light on the extra shiny bits on his goggle. It's easy to go overboard with these effects, which would be pretty inappropriate in a portrait.

You can cover most of that green space if you tilt his shoulders a bit and then draw, next to his face, some sort of intricate gun (which he is holding up vertically next to his face)...

Just an idea.

ok, thanks for the advice guys.
and Sushimaster, i've thougth about that.. but it feels like that has been done a million times..

Ok, well, then, for originality, you could expand the picture a bit on the left side and have a little girl kissing him on the cheek :-)

SushiMaster:
hehe, that would be original.. but then his face expression would make no scence.
hmm... maybe that would make it intresting...
