Hey Hey! Very nice... kind of reminds me of the usual suspects.. hehe. Well anyway, I think you need to erase some lines still that you still have left over. for example. the knee caps... instead of defining the shape of em, use folds in the clothing. Also, try not to be so symmetrical with the lines... and last but not least, pecs don't show through the clothing

But anyway, I really like it alot. Oh yah, one more thing, I think the heads a little big compared to the body. The body should be about 5-7 heads tall and shoulders 2 heads wide. Hope that helps. Oh yah, btw, the heads fine as it is because it gives a sense of "intelligence" to the fellow.

Nice Job cyberlink, i like the idea that you put some thought into this character. You gave him a background, which helps in the creation of making a more believable character. Like the ring, and the stern face.. Storywise, you have a nice character.. I like the sneakers because a lot of time, people make boots for mean characters. Rarely do you see them wearing sneakers..

Art wise.. you need to draw more from real life, the head is way too big..The eyes are too almond shaped, the nose is too defined.. its defined more by shadows than lines.. the lips are too thin.. when someone wheres a shirt, even a tight one, the muscle don't pop complete out, and rarely do you see the nipples, espically on a guy..

The chest muscles are sagging too low. Keep at it, and you will be get better..
