Hello ladies and gents. Say hello to Wally.

He's the first character that I've attempted, so I'm a little lost. I'm not sure about his legs and feet, nor about the shading. The legs look like they may be a bit scrawny and the shading - well, the shading is the result of my first try at this, so I really don't know if I've done it right. Any comments would be most welcome.

It looks very good. Acouple of common mistakes though. First of all the arms are too small. Reached to their full length his fingertips should be half way to the knee leaving a space of the size of his hand there. The feet seem a bit too small, I guess. And his shoulders are very board. I'm not sure if you want to make him look hulk-likem but he looks very strong.

Thanks much. I'll do some tweaking and see where that gets me...

Edit:

Okay...

It looks just normal fat old man, imo.  ;D

Sloppy paintover:
-moved his head and shoulders down a good deal
-some pixelpushing at face, tits, arms and knees
-added shading
