I really like the progress so far. The only thing that seems a little off is his belt. The way its laying makes his stomach look way to flat. post more once you have more done.

I'm a bit further along. I'm liking where this is going. More dramatic and less flat. I re-did most of the elements to bring more life to it. Of course, I'm looking for opinions. please tell me what you think.

I've got till wednesday to finish this. I don't know if I'm happy with his right arm. Time to work on the background.

Here it is... I'm not too happy with parts. But it's really the 2nd real attempt at digital painting. I won't be changing it any more because I have other projects to do. So if you've been looking at the thread but not posting. Thanks for paying attention. Thank you jessart for showing an interest. I hope I resolved that problem at least a little. I figured the dramatic lighting would help.

The near hand and head are pretty good, but his legs are pretty sausagey. The thighs look too round and puffy and broad in my view. His lower body isn't going back into space the way it ought to if he's running. The position of his legs is sort of ambiguous and it looks like his body's curving inward in a funny way. The perspective of his position needs to be worked out. You take a photo perhaps, of someone running at you like this. That might help.

His right arm - you're right, that's not working. I know you said this is done but you might want to do it again just to learn from it. The right arm isn't working as foreshortening - it just looks like he it's straight on and that he has a really fat wrist. You need to pay attention to the overlapping shapes when drawing something moving away from you in space. That's the key to making it convincing.

From Albuquerque eh? Me too - although I haven't lived there in years. :)
