Paintballer drawing

[Mad_Lobster]

Here's a drawing I started last night. I haven't had any problems so far, but the Nitro tank is bugging me. It is supposed to be tucked in where the right shoulder meets the chest, right next to the arm pit (those of you who paintball should know what I'm taking about). To me, at least, it looks like the tank is closer to the left shoulder instead of the right. Any thought on how I can fix this? Other comments and suggestions are also welcomed!

Thanks!

If I undersatnd what your talking about, i think that more shading would help to make it look a little further away. Other than that though, something baout the way the guy is posing bothers me. The way he is holding the gun doesn't look right to me. You can't tell exactly what he is doing like if he is hiding, or ready to attack someone. You should let the viewer know exactly what you want to portray in the picture so they don't get confused on what the action is.

I tried to show the paintball stance, where you bring the arms and shoulders close in to make yourself a smaller target. Most people hold a paintball gun differently than an actual firearm, taht is, they shoot with the middle finger or use both index and middle finger to fire rapidly. I see we don't have many paintballers around here. Shame shame... its an awesome sport.
