it's good to see you posting fat!
glad to know i have a way of seeing how my old roommate is fairing with his skillzors
i think you'll really like this place.
edited to help a brother out! you can't direct link images from that host, unfortunately.
well it seems earlyish to say, because it'll depend heavily on where you take it from here on out... but the dude has got a righteous gut, and you've got a nice tonal range in evidence. let's see where it goes from here!
I think by placing that black around him and not having enough contrast in the texture you accualy flattend him more. Its good stuff though. Just darken those shadows and add some sharp highlights.
I preferred the 1st one a lot more, this looks too soft and smudgy and the perspective on the face isnt as good in my opinion.
Maybe take a few steps back and just worry about putting some more contrast into it.
Anyway cool piece, looking foward to seeing more.
i'm with Zeldizzle, you went a little crazy on it son. it does look less flat, but the values are all kinds of blurry and distracting. values looked pretty good before, it's the edges that made it look flat, imo.

i think this is making you fight with the form. you need to focus on your edges, keep a look out for edges of crap during the day and add it to your mental morgue for when you paint next.
thanks cory nice crit i have to say that i was happier with the direction i was heading first, i agree i went crazy with the soft brushes as i often do whenever i touch the dang things

notes, top to bottom, say:
"hard edged shadows for direct lights"
"soft for ambient"
"softer edge and shading for the side here to better define the form"
cory thanks very helpfull
