Looking very good. I thought his right leg/hand were a bit thin for the side view, and his legs were spread too far apart for his front view. A quick paintover to demonstrate.

Not sure if it'll bother anyone else, but the coloring for his shirt is much brighter on the front than from the side. As for the shading, I'm no expert on that subject so I can't really tell if it's realistic or what not, but I do like what you've done here, particularly the back of the jacket.

thanks for the paint over, definately an improvement.

I still think the legs on the side view loook a little odd though.

The lack of comments find me agreeing that "wow, its really beautiful.", so nothing to add..

I agree with Duals. I've already seen this and I must admit, I was too lazy to write anything at the time. It looks great, Calin, sorry I never wrote anything.

Thanks, Dulay, for setting a good example ;D

If its your intention, but anyways, I find the sprite to be very film noirish (which is a good thing)!

Nice, it has that "Teen Agent" style which I admire.
