It's coming along very nicely.

The face looks a little flat on the front part, mainly I suspect because the right eye (our right) might be a little too far forward or something.

And try to vary the values of the cape - at the moment you've got too many of the folds getting exactly the same treatment. If you close your eyes a bit you can see that this makes the cape look very flat. Vary the rendering more to give it some volume.

maxetormer--i'd say....hmm...roman warrior..yea thats it...i guess
SUMA--hey i'd never gotten a response from you...usually you respond to the pros...anyway...i was ABOUT to post my update until i saw you responded so i had to draw some more and take what you said into
consideration...not sure what you meant about the eye being too forward
but i tried to fix it...and i added to the cape and face...thanx guys!

EDIT---(some hours later) eeK...now that i look at it again it looks
OVER highlited...maybe it's cuz of the highlite outline he has

I cant help but notice that your pic maybe needs some chain-mail. Like instead of having a sheet around the guys neck, put some chain-mail. Then this idea works for the thighs aswell. You can put chain-mail coming off the guys legs, around his thigh area. Hope this helps. If you dont wanna use this idea, it's entirely up to you, ur pic man! Wink

Nice pic tho, I like the background... Shocked
