Ehh, man. Don't get upset if noone posts. People do view your threads; but then it depends on the picture what the response will be.
And don't worry, it doesn't seem to have much to do with the quality of the pic itself. It's more of an undetectable umph or something like that that matters. I don't know myself, since my threads never get many posts either. *eyes narrow down, looks around critically*
Just keep on drawing, and you'll get comments. Keep on improving the quality, because then you might end up in Craig Mullins's seat!

I'd also say that this is a cool character, but it seems to lack certain proportions or something. Or add contrast, make it stand out; add dramatic shading - these things should work in cases like that.

Hey dude. Certainly an interesting image and I like how 'cut' the guy looks. I agree with the earlier post that you don't have a wide enough tone range. You really need some blacker blacks (start for instance by making the shadow really black).

It could be a style thing but the hair seems too 'tall' as if 3 cans of hair spray have been used on it.

it is a bit difficult to comment as you have a style going here. For mine, the legs look a little longer than they should but that is neither here nor there.

Otherwise, I'm not sure what the background is. Is that a window with a tree poking through. If so you need to work on the skirting board at the guys feet as it looks funny.

Keep it up.

Hey Usagi,
I'm thinkin that this would look positivly kick ass if done in black and white. But yes, at the moment the grays are subduing it too much.

[Usagi]

thanks for the thought of inking it. . .

I think you need to introduce some value contrast, so add darken those shadows where needed. As for the style, it looks like you depend on line quite a lot. Since you do I would suggest you introduce some line width variation. Go thicker for contours that overlap, and contours in shadow. Go really thin and light, sometimes only suggest a line, for areas where a contour ends, like when drawing the contour of breasts, you try to blend them into the rest of the chest, by going from a thick line underneath them to a thin light line, then no line finally when you move up the chest to the sternum.

(hmm.. breasts! must've been the first thing on my mind!

I hope that helps...
