good, shows some potential definitely, but could use some work. you may not be finished, but the right foot, obviously needs to be filled in. More importantly the face needs some work. I would suggest straightening the eyes especially, and showing some teeth. The right hand and arm look very good. A suggestion would be to also add some more reflection of the flame light as you did on the rock, add some drama. I really like the flames. good work, keep on goin on bro! The eyes definitely the eyes and face! :teeth:

I see three obvious problems: firstly, his left arm looks very uncomfortable, and his left hand looks like half a squashed spider (compare with his right hand, which is very good). Secondly, as Pickles said, the face needs some work - get a mirror and snarl with rage! Then, draw what you see. Thirdly, the light from the gun's ray isn't affecting him much - his left foot shows good reflection, but the rest of it is too subtle. The character on the whole, could, IMHO, use a bit more highlighting and shadowing to really bring him out - at the moment he's looking a little flat (namely on the left leg, left arm, and face).

I can't wait to see when this is done - it's got the potential to convey a huge amount of anger!

Theres clearly alot of strong points, the colour/shadow work is very nice, really gives a solid form to the figure, especially on the armour. And the flame really struck me as excellent.

Theres a few bits which you probably allready planned on changing that still look a bit sketchy, like on the underside of his left arm, but i'm sure that will be ironed out.

Oh yes and I liked pickles suggestion of more of the dramatic lighting. Some touches of yellow on the face maybe, to really make the viewer feel the HEAT.

The body of the gun is very nicely coloured again but i think theres a slight error, the direction isn't fully consistent. Sorry I don't have any suggestions of how to fix it. Maybe look at where the blade connects with the gun. The trigger finger looks a little large. Some extra detail on the gun in the bit above the hand might be a good touch.

And maybe you could include some enviroment, even if its the sketchiest mountains or something, they wouldnt need to have any detail at all as there probably miles away. No harm in experimenting, not with the wonders of ctrl z.

I hope I didn't sound too negative, I'd love to here any story, and i'll look forward the the final image. Nice one and good look :)

yea, as people above said: your painting skills are good, but anatomy needs to be polished.
