This a good piece. A few things to think about though. The chest armor looks alittle odd, I am not quite sure yet though, just looks strange to me. The wrinkles on the cape are alittle odd, especially near the neck. Last thing is that it looks like his butt is on the front and he took a dump in his pants, that or hes got a really big sack and its all just bunched up in there. Pardon the analogy, but it looks alittle odd. Other than that I think you did a great job on the rest. The hands are nice and that is a cool texture you got on his helmet. One more thing, you might want to push your lights and darks alittle further to make him more dimensional. Keep up the good work.

Sir, your analogy about the butt in the front and the pants load was the highlight of my day! I am still laughing at that one! And to tell the truth youre not wrong! My idea with this peice was to show an aged Batman and I kinda wanted his drawers a little droopy to match his body. I guess I went a bit to far huh? LOL! But seriously that was a great analogy! As for the armor, I'm glad at least you recognized it as such! I posted this elsewhere and they thought I couldnt draw pectorals properly! LOL! As for the drapery, yeah again I agree, I wanted to convey the look of a pull over hood laying about his neck but that came off a bit wonky. Oh well, these are things I'll take into the next piece! Again, thank you for taking the time to crit and comment and I'm tellin ya I really liked that analogy!!

:D

cool....but the mask look more cat than bat and i think the armour should extend all the way down....its pretty redundant to have an armour that only protect the pecs.

Duly noted about the helmet! But about the armor, I did think about giving him shoulderpads and abdomen armor, but I figured too much armor would restrict the kinds of body movement that he might go through and decided not to. Besides, the idea here was to show an older Batman with no tone or definition to his body, just mass. Too much armor would have made him harder looking than I had intended!

The wings on the bat emblem are upside down. The inner points should be on the bottom.
