Ok, I started this image just as a doodle on my lunch break working on the figure. I liked the figure enuf to want a background. Started posting here to get some help, thanks for the responses.

Here is a little timeline of how the piece has progressed.

So from there I started working on this finished piece. Well, not really finished but getting there.

Would love to get some feedback, I know the composition isn't great so don't kill me with that, if you have suggestions would love to hear them.

Thanks

The smoke in the backround looks backlit, slightly to the left. Your fatman is lit from the front, which would be okay, if he was also lit a little from the left. IMO.

Royal

P.S. Don't forget his shadow.

The shapes of the factory building are odd... your edges are extremely sharp on it, and therefore. *gah* Keep in mind that as thing recede more and more...they get greyer and mesh in with the surroundings more and more.

his left (our right) foot doesn't align to the ground correctly

Looking at his thighs, I would have thought he would have to have a huge butt. Would that show from the angle we are looking at?
Just a thought. Looks good though.

redcom: thanks, I think it's a guy.

SpiralEye: I haven't forgot the shadow thanks for the reminder though. I see what your saying about the fog will try to fix that.

EvilToylet: I see what your saying still trying to work out would it get grey or more orangeish, is that a word? I always have problems with atmospheric perspective. Thanks for the tip.

Vesuvius: toes should be pointed out more I think, thanks for the comment been so focused on the background and lighting didn't see that until you pointed it out now it is glaring at me.

zero21: good question and I'm really not sure. I guess it could I was going for a very, very fat mans torso. Like rolls of fat, then for some reason I drew the really powerful legs,(maybe from carrying all that weight around). So I don't know if the butt would be buns of steel, buns fo flesh.

thanks everyone for the comments, I will attempt some changes and then repost in this thread in a few days.
