Hahahahha

I love the wonky anatomy. I say go for the one with the moustache and chest hair.
It might be a style thing, but I'd suggest shading some of the other things with the same level of detail as you did the face.

...I really hate to say this...but I agree with Babar. :o

:= I think the rest of the body could use some shading. The way it is now he looks completely flat except his head.

yes i agree...but i'm not that good at drawing, but somehow i managed to do the face pretty good...it seems harder doing the clothes...I don't ask for you to do it for me of course but maybe you could show me a few tips on how to shade clothes etc.
thanks

yeah i agree with the other two, go for version 2! The moustache adds a certain character to the guy, a sort of sleazy attitude ;) lol

Ah, I have some ideas on how to shade... but first tell me what program you were using to draw the character with?

(and for someone who says he is not very good at drawing, you have done a very good job! :) and I like the moustache one better too).

Unless it's meant to be a joke, the sign should be "serial killer" (not "cereal killer").

I know it's called Serial-Killer but Cereal-Killer is more fun :)
