| Hey, quite good. But the pose doesn't look santa-like. I dunno why... but I guess he'd never sit like that. Santa never sits anyway. |

Thanks for the reply guys. Back to the shop I guess...
Anyway.. I guess my attempt for the fire lighting didn't go to well. I did notice that he had no folds in his clothing.. still working on how to get folds in. And anyway, thanks everyone. |

Hi evil, Overall i like the picture and i think it has great potential. I have some
suggestions on how to maybe make the pic look more solid.
It looks like the glasses melts or something.
Try to draw up a couple of help-lines in order to correct them. I like the pose on the upper body, but i have problems seeing if he's sitting or levitating over the floor
or if he is sitting on something. If he is sitting on the floor or on something else there should be a shadow casted by his legs.
Also the legs are too cylindrical with no wrinkles on the clothing.
It's very messy were he holds his finger.
It melts in totally with the beard and if you squint with your eyes while looking at the picture it looks like the whole arm is missing. It also actually look like he is picking his nose. You can change that by moving the position to the
left or right or down. I would also suggest more fleshier skin tones. More pink, red etc.
It's a little bit too orange at the moment.
Try to study fire too, it could be more brighter, maybe you could check out Pierre's
knight-thread were you see the knight ride through the fire.
Hope this can help you some
