hey, this is a picture of a friend of mine that i did in a gothic style(just for fun). just wanted to see what everyone thought before i colored it...

Everything looks great until you get to his legs. they do not look to be in any position that would support his weight and that back leg seems too thin. If you give it a bit more substance and bring it further under the body (so that it's directly below the neck) then i think the problem will be solved.

Gorgeous inking though, the face is positivley beautiful!

wow, "positively beautiful"
thanks for the crits, i think the leg looks a lot better now. i also rotated the whole picture after making the leg wider. hows this?

[Wren]

Oh yes! Much better. Now he looks like he is leaning against a wall instaed of falling against one.

One small observation that you may want to keep in mind when you are adding color is the hand in the pocket. There looks like there's barely enough room for his whole hand in there so you may want to pay careful attention to how you shade that. You can avoid having to lengthen the jacket by using value to indicate that his fist is curled in there. Otherwise you may want to add a little more length before you color it. Either approach should solve the problem.

Other than that, it looks great! I can't wait to see it done!

He looks like Ville Valo, singer of HIM... or however you write that.

But yeah, great inkwork. I suppose the lines on his cheek are make-up? they don't seem to follow is cheek... the lines should bend down near the edge of his face. At least, that's what I think.
