The only thing I could nitpick is that the face is drawn and shaded realistically, with a lot of depth, but the eyes are completely flat. It looks creepy... like it's the skinny guy from Pan's Labyrinth with eyes glued on so he looks less suspicious and can wander into my house and eat me.

yeah , there's actually alot of detail in them (I even drew the red lines!!!) but it's too light and when it got sized down it just can't be seen. I might go in tonight and darken the shading up a bit so it's noticeable.

Oh I'm not denying there's detail in them. I'm just saying the shading has a lot of depth on the face, but not so much on the eyes.

The problem with the eyes, aside from them being large and stylised, is that eyes are actually the farthest back thing in the head. So when you shade a face realisticly, they should be in heavy shadow. Also, the heavy outline on the eyes causes them to pull flat too, madding up to them looking like they are painted on.

BWAHAHAHA... dude, in a forum of tons of artists and whatnot, you're trying to pass off a well-known illustrator's work as your own?

And to make it better, you even left Shawn Alleyne's signature in the image.

You fail. Go away.

Honestly, the fact it's stolen doesnt bother half as much as the fact that the signature is still there. It's almost insulting.

What, you people never sign your work with names of popular illustrators? I do it all the time.

I don't draw, remember. :p So I just plagiarize instead and claim it for my own. Btw, I've started a new novel, about Larry Potter. I think it'll be big, it's about this kid with a ~~lightning~~, er... thundercloud. Yeah. A thundercloud scar on his forehead that finds out that he's actually some sort of wizard. I'm still ~~copying and pasting my way through the Sorcerer's Stone~~ working on the details, so I'll keep y'all posted.

Popular and notorious aren't the same thing.

Of course! All my stuff is signed "McDuffies." The money's just rolling in!

Dude, that's not money! They're pelting you with potatoes.

Ok fixed it, turns out my shading on the eye disappeared anyway :O(layer goneness!!)! Save often! I took the opportunity to do some other tweaking to the image.

Here are a few doodles I did very quickly at work. Thought I'd share them. Sorry for the poor quality.

HAve you noticed that the shadows from the headphone cords don't match up to the lighting on the rest of the image?
