Very good face -dont know why but brings me to mind some starwas characters feeling -and this is a compliment of course. Not sure about that something hanging between its legs -I think you should try get rid of it.

Sweet, hadnāt seen this before! Great work here, very original design, I like the head design!
Iād maybe consider giving him crazier proportions, right now he looks rather human, what do you think?

God dag there, Sverige!
Very really nice concepts and sketches! The blade profile is so fluid and elegant, good indeed!
And with the legs/toes situation, think Iāve something useful to say: Try to make them look more relaxed, like flexing the knees. The way they are now, his pose as a whole looks very artificial, specially if you whant him to be a sneaky guy it would be nice too see that heās very relaxed. You see?
Nice. Now, if you would, look at my entry and send me as many crits as you can!!

Izuael: Thanks m8!
mine1: Hey, thanks! Some specific reason you dont like his āthat somethingā :p?
Hideyoshi: Thanks man, glad you like him! I know ive been rather careful in going too far away with the design, i just dont want him to become too much of a creature. Maybe i will go for a little bit more crazy design next time, i feel that i lack the time to do any major changes right nowā¦ I feel good about how he turned out anywayā¦
Perin: Hej! Thanks! Sure the pose is very artificial, its just for the modellingsheet, iāll try to make him look more relaxed in my final paintingā¦ 
Iāve started my FINAL painting or winning pose if youād likeā¦ Im going to have a full scene with Shanto Man in action, not actually fighting but somewhere in between, sneaking around. I want the environment to tell much about him and his powers and personality. Iāll try to post a rough later tonightā¦

Here is a rough start on what i have in mind for my final paint/winning poseā¦ Some stuff iām planing on doing: The trees above him will look down talking to him, pointing out to him where the enemy is. His hand is touching the tree and the treesurface begins to travel up his arm(camoflage). I want his spear to almost touch the ground, the ground near it starts growing grass and flowers, a butterfly sits on one flower and the blade is covered in blood(thought it might make a nice contrast). Also some of his fallen enemies in there, like the robot to the left, thinking of having one close up in the foreground.
So far ive just worked mostly on the compo and his poseā¦ I think the compo needs alot of work. C&C is most welcome!

wow cool!
I think maybe heās a bit big in the compā¦ makes him seem less hidden/sneaky?
then I guess youāre going to toss a shadow from tree or so over parts of him? would look sneaky Iād start working out shadow play early since it may slow you down if you worry about all your fine details when you do it (usually happens to me OTL).
also Iād widen the canvas some bitā¦ seems a bit narrowā¦ would like to see some more to the right particularly good luck!

erik_j: Thanks for your thoughtsā¦ Yup theres going to be some shadow over himā¦ Its kind of tricky to make a stalker āeyecatchingā(stated as one of the main criterias for the judging), sneaky but still the where all the attention lie. Im trying to balance it, i think ill pull it ofā¦ Tackar!
Iāve been busy with some other work lately, plus my internetās been downā¦ But i do intend to finish this! Right now im working on my final piece. Keep it up everyone!

jingudyi: Thanks man, though its not a mask :pā¦
Hereās my last update before the final versionā¦ Ive got quite a lot of work to do on it for sure, also on my other sheets so its gonna be stressful to finish this one, though i think ill make it. I would love to hear any thoughts on this!

Nice work. Long time since I last checked, he sure looks cooler in that action pose:thumbsup: The image seems finished to me except his hands/forearms and the debris in front of him.
But it would be nice if you could attach him more to the world, perhaps clearer shadows, and maybe see one of his shoes on the ground (like his right one). It would also be cool if you could tighten his left hand grip on the tree. It could surely make the image more intense.

Izuael: Thanks m8! I appriciate the supportā¦ You know i liked your entry!
rawwad:Thanks manā¦ Im glad that you liked it! Too bad you didnt proceed to the final 50, i thought it was well worth it, a comfort is that some other very nice entrys didnt make it as wellā¦ 
BloodTaster: Thanks!
The Flork: Thank you! Glad you like the finalā¦
Perin: Thanks Perin!
DefiledVisions: Tackar :), To bad you didnt have the time, maybe some other timeā¦ I hope to see some more stuff from you some day!
Thanks again for everyones supportā¦ I just found out that i didnt make it to the final 50, i guess i am bit dissapointed concidering all the work that i put into my character. 
I noticed that some of my favorite entrys didnt make it either, i found it weird and at the same time its quite comforting since i didnt make it myself. So now im quite curious about who took those placesā¦ Anyways, Congrats to everyone who made it into the top 50!
Later!
