i just sketched this out in photoshop, and im wondering how or if i should finish. i cant decide if its a wizard casting a spell, or a butler ushering somebody into a room 
what do you people think this guy is all about and do you think it's interesting enough to continue. (as in composition and storytelling elements)

Mmmm - reminiscent of Kokoshka (Oscar) with hints of Aeon Flux - perhaps turn it into a company executive offering a seat in a meeting - sauna/turkish bath environment - no wires - only towels 
(edit - i think the near shoulder looks a liitle off)

i agree with Satan, (how often do you see that?), the left shoulder is off a bit. i think it needs to be a bit more rounded, and slightly higher, if that makes sense.
i totally think he has that exec feel aswell, (2 points for Satan!!) maybe even resevoir dogz or FBI guy maybe. really nice drawing so far, you should definetly finish this. |

I'll tell ya, if you didn't allready know... that if you would let this guy bend a bit in his right knee and let the left one be straight, and add a pair of fairly loose trousers, with alot of room for his "behind", then this sketch is an allmost perfect sketh of a guy doing Tai Chi!!! Its actually the beginning of a defensive countermove, the front arm doing the blocking and the back arm moving around and forward across the breast... and I'm not even kiddin you! This was my first thought when opening the thread even before I had read your text!
Nice sketch btw... I like this rough way of using the pen! It works really well!
Ohh yeah, and please do continue, now just to answer your question!!! Theres alot of movement in this drawing, that alone makes the sketch interesting enough to continue on!!!
