Are you the mongoose that we know of ?
Anyways, i think the you should do his face a bit more roughly or loosely. looks a bit too carefully drawn to me... hmm - aha !
spotted an error that makes the face look that wee bit off : the left eye socket, umm, no, the right one is too much to the right, and its too big.
umm - yep .
Well, its worth finishing imho.

if you do a small search "mongoose" in this forum you will know why everyone seems to be curious about the nick
the pic looks very weird, weird is good
is it for something special or just out of fun?

I'd just suggest changing your nick while you are still a junior member. Gliebster has a link to his name generator page in Random Musings.  |

A mongoose is a mammal (bit like a ferret to look at) and is a fierce little fighter, with a reputation for taking on cobra snakes. I like your comment, though. I've got a picture in my head now of geese in studded leather jackets.
Back to the topic, you have a good drawing/painting style, Mongooze. Edgy and vigorous.

Mongooze:
I like the picture.The colours looks great I would work on the shapes and proportions a bit more.
Some of the details looks a little bit random
shaped and don't make sense. The shading is also a bit misleading in some places.

Thanks for letting me try. I was learning a couple of things myself doing it. God, i can't believe i only used 100%opacity on the
brushes before. I tried to fix some of the shapes and proportions, added a twisted expression in his face+ mixed in some other colours in order to give the guy some kind of dead looking skin. Gonna have nightmares
tonight...

Aha! This is a borg 0.25 seconds after he miscalculates heights and drives his motorcycle under a truck!
Really cool take, micke. Nice concept too, Mongooze.
