He also has glowing eyes n' stuff

Some info about the pic:

It's based heavily on the Keepers and/or Garrett from Thief: The Dark Project (and excellent game everyone should try, btw)
I drew the basic form and face using a graphics tablet in Adobe photoshop, then continued to photohax0r the crap out using Corel Photopaint (I had to use the foul photoshop at the beginning since Corel didn't work well with the pressure sensitive pen... )
I used an earlier version of this pic as a background image for the main menu in some CS project I made a while ago.

Any comments? (please be gentle, as it's my first post)

EDIT #1: strike that line about being gentle, and just reply already.

EDIT #2: the pic has been altered, according to suggestions made by InsaneSpaghetti and Fat Assassin (Thanks, guys)

EDIT #3: changed hosts.

Are you badmouthing PS, punk?

YES. Well, kind of. Corel spoiled me with its superior interface and customization options.
Photoshop isn't bad, it's just not as good (if you ignore Corel's stupid inability to detect varying pressure. muuurgh)

Does anyone else here use Corel?

Put him in a scene. A sufficiently creepy background would add greatly to his overall creepiness.

I use Corel!!!
Aww, let me hug you, comrade! Welcome to the club! But it sucks of course without pressure sensitivity... And, yes, customization!
Oh, and the picture - the face lacks dramatic shading, imho, otherwise it's alright.

I know you're right about this, but I absolutely DESPISE drawing backgrounds. Most of my drawings are just chacacters with nothing behind them. If it's absolutely necessary I just edit some photo and insert it at the back (like the one I just added to my pic).

I rarely create BGs manually.
