I did a little background thingy with this one...the canvas used to be bigger, and there was a technical in the background shooting at the guy, but my thing I'm so ashamed to call a "truck" came out, it just ruined the whole picture, so I took it out, cropped everything down, and now we have what I call "Frag Out"
How's the lighting now?

Alright...
this is my newest one, and I did it the way I like so please mention everything (even the non-color stuff I mean)
I tried to be a BIT more extreme with the lighting, and also did it a slightly different method, although still using the same tool. What I did differently here that I've never done, however, is use the fill tool on the hair as well, which I wasn't fond of, but it came out ok I think.

I call this "Bang Bang".

Your work is quite clumsy, you should work on that, try to develop OCD.

Ha! Believe me, I have some serious OCD! rofl

FIRST THING: DO NOT freak out over the weird legs. I kinda spaced out and forgot to use my usual method of using a lower layer for a wireframe skeleton. JUST. CRITIQUE. THE. LIGHTING.

Touchy much?

With out digging too deep in to the lighting I'll say that it is just too subtle. Push it a little more to the extreme. Also I only see a highlight, you need at least some sort of shadow as well.
Here go over to CTRL+Paint and do their Digital Paint 101 it'll take about an hour to watch all the videos. He'll help you understand a bit more about the digital painting process. He also has a simple brush pack for download which works very, very well.

Touchy much? Lol, if I didn't mention the legs the trolls would be all over me and my soul would be consumed.....
Anywho, as for the tutorial, well, it's for Photoshop, I use Sketchbook Express...

FIRST THING: DO NOT freak out over the weird legs. I kinda spaced out and forgot to use my usual method of using a lower layer for a wireframe skeleton. JUST. CRITIQUE. THE. LIGHTING. I experimented with my airbrush tool and managed to work on some lighting-type method. So yea, this is just about the coloring basically. Oh, and I used I fill tool instead of manually filling in the colors.
(God I hate this guy's hair. Too poofy. Like mine when it's long. Next one will be non-filled in hair....more anime style)

I WOULD have done the cloth the same as the skin, but I liked the way the brown looks, it makes it look more like a leather jacket. If I wanted to I could just use a fill tool to fill everything, but it looks a bit meh then.
