Edit:
New version on advice from Igor:
Changed:
-Longer arms, bigger(right)hand
-Changed pose(legs)
-Changed shoes to boots(style en simplicity choice)
-Made hair cleaner(simplified)
So, how is this..? Please crit..
Specifically I would like to have a suggestion on:
-How to shade

I also added a concept drawing of another character for the game.
Thanks in advance.

I think you got the expression completely right for what you wanted, can't wait to see this turn in to a fully developed character.
The most obvious problem i see with this character is, that it's too complicated. Lots of little unnecessary details (hair, shirt...), that does nothing, but make character less interesting as he could have been (when it comes to animation, it's very important to keep only the most essential details or the ones that make character more interesting).
As for character himself- looking good. I like it :) He holds some of the "old school" feel to it. Except you could change his pose and anatomy a bit: right now he has too short arms.. also, legs are in a strange position. Make him more relaxed and it will look even better.
Okay, first post updated
The new pose is a lot better aside from the hand, which could use some work. Really simple shading would be best, IMO, so it won't take away from the character.
I really like the new character as well. Can't see anything to change overall... you've got a pretty unique style, very interesting.
He looks a bit like Mel Gibson
