Hello everybody,
This is the first work that i post here. I did it trying to learn to paint in photoshop. I know that lots of things could be done to make it better but as it was my first try i think it is ok.
Comments are appreciated.

It looks like the file you provided a link to is a jpg format file named with a htm extension… my browser (and apparently other folks browers) is trying to interpret it as an html file and showing ascii gobblydigook on the screen. You need to either rename the file to aborix.jpg (and provide a link) or make aborix.htm a real html file that points to your image.
Just my coupl’a cents worth…
Actually, I can see the image just fine, but two of my crits on this piece were lost to a broken server link.
Generally speaking, looks like you have a handle on photoshop, and the background looks fine. You’ve got several anatomy issues. Specifically, your character’s 8-pack stomach should only be a 6-pack. Also, his deltoid muscle (shoulder/upper arm) should be round and undivided. His right deltoid is missing and his left is divided in 3. You should find a good reference like Jack Hamm’s “Drawing the Head and Figure.” Reference as much as you can until you get a feel for it. On the other hand, you could always hide your character under bulky clothing. . . 
Practice makes perfect. Good luck!
Here is the image in jpg

It was in htm becouse when i put it in jpg i can´see the image.
Ilikesoup - about the abdome i don´t think it is so wrong in this image u can see that there are 8 groups in the reference below, i think what is giving the wrong impression is becouse the divisions are very deep and marked. About the left deltoid i didn´t understend (so if u could please explain it to me) and the right it is really missing i ll fix it.
Tnx for the comments

About the left deltoid i didn´t understend
You’re right, I didn’t explain that well. The deltoid is in three parts, but they’re not as separate as they appear in your pic. Here’s a bodybuilder flexing his delts – As you can see, there’s very little distinction between them:

As for the abdomen, there is a fourth separate “row” of muscles, but the lowest set extends into the pelvis: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/abaa.jpg
Unfortunately your links don’t bring me to your picture anymore, only to a website written entirely in Spanish.
BTW, I’ve never taken an anatomy class so don’t accept my word as gospel. Get a second objective opinion. And make sure your links are working.
Cheers! 
ilikesoup - you are right. I don´t know exactly what to do to make the deltoid better. And about the abdome i ll try to meke it less round and deep for the botton part.
