its preety cool but there are few things that bother me:
the head looks really off,and is positioned way too mutch to the left..
also i think that if you would have making the chest and arms more cartoon style like the rest of the drawing it would have been mutch better.
try to make the "mouth" smaller so it is not spread all over his chest to the begining of the back,it looks wierd that way..
and one last thing is to make a background so the drawing will have more vibes in it and will be less boring.
other then that you got nice anatomy and style,i like it.

Larwick responds:

Thanks for the response!
There isn't really a head there at all, and the hood is 'floating', not actually resting on anything, so it is as full as it can be - otherwise the head would be massive. I understand that this isn't clear at all though, so I don't blame you for being confused.
The choice of painting detail only into the skin and chest of the character was intentional, and I still like the style to this day. If the chest and arms were flat like the rest of the drawing, it would be very boring and there would be nothing to draw the viewers eye.
Just so you know, this is actually a girl (although I guess that is also not very obvious). I believe her chest would be just wide enough to fit the mouth upon and I like the creepy way that it borders on being too large.
The white background was also an intentional style choice, although probably the one I'm least attached to. This is an old piece though so I'm not changing it now. Thanks again for your opinions!
