Hey you lot! Been a while! Been having internet trouble, so I thought what better to do than draw instead. This pic has taken me quite a while so I'd appreciate your comments, as always This one was done with colouring pencils and a black ink pen!

Great to be back! look forward to speak to ya all again

Glad to see you ain't lost that touch with the colouring pencil. The inking gives him more definition (a smart-arse way of saying 'he stands out more) and I like the way you used it for shadows and stuff. The guy himself is pretty cool, though I personally would have done both arms of the coat full sleeve, rather than just one (nothing against you Dan, just what i would do personally). But, overall, really cool. Looking forward to more from you mate.

its a great composition overall - like Angelo said, good definition, and the colour scheme is very good as well. However, I do have a couple of anatomical crits...

1) His waist is a little hard to establish - is it at the pinish belt buckle directly underneath his (very cool) chest plate? If so, it seems too high in relation to his arms. If you moved said belt buckle down (not that you should with this picture cos its finished and everything, I'm just saying)
then he'd look a bit more balanced out I think.

2) To me, his right (our left) shoulder looks dislocated, probably due to the jutty out shoulder pad. That might just be me though.

But yeah, overall really good!

Lets not get too petty with the criticisms! If I pointed out every single little detail I see wrong with some pictures I'd be there all day!
