- His pants are way too uniformly wrinkly, instead of wrinkling at the folds and where it gathers as it drapes. Check references, somebody's ren faire photo album should work fine.
- His thumb looks broken. In fact, his whole left hand looks kind of funky. Unnatural posture at the very least.
Also, you'll want to double the size of those pistols at minimum. Muzzleloading pistols of that type from that era were not small things... at least the ones that were used for serious social work. No self-respecting Cossack would carry a brace of glorified gentleman's derringers into battle. Here's a good picture showing the kind of scale you're dealing with:
I havent realized their pistols were so huge...
@ n88tr: I was actually going for realistic style, I was going for an older man, hence the wrinkly face... I was using this guy as reference
Can you tell me what makes him cartoony? Too saturated? I was trying to go for realistic actually...
Not really sure what a Kossack is, seems like a Turkish fighter?
The gun seems a bit high, would be hard to grab it with that hand.
I don't really seem him as cartoony, but maybe more 'not photo realistic'. I guess his face being so black bugs me. Not sure why, did he rub someething on his face as camo, is he really dirty?, but the rest of his head is light/clean.
the guy in the pic isn't liike that at all. and seems like his skin is more pale, not as olive as the guy in pic.
And it might be good to overlay fabric tex on the clothes. might give a bit more realism.
Eastern Slavic peoples, probably best known for their role in the Russian Empire as elite cavalry troops. I can tell you've never seen Dr. Zhivago. :poly121:

Oooh Ill be staying up late tonight ...
@GarageBay You are completley right, I'm Russian myself so I wanted to do something not many people do, and also something that would resemble my heritage a little... So it seemed like the best subject... Of course they didn't have such shoulder pads, thats just my personal touch

Posture looks a bit awkward. Textures look a bit unrealistic.
Eyes look big.
Some of his features look exaggerated.
These are the reasons he looks a little bit like a caricature of the guy (cartoony)
It's passable as a stylized model if you tweak the textures just a bit, and fix the hand.
Use some classic art examples to break down hands. A lot of 3D artists do bad hands, including professionals. It's tough. It's just the way it is.
Canal'ya! This Boyarsky reference is great:)
And about the colors. You realize importance of the light scheme, don't you? These faces were lighted with live fire, which gave them saturation and red/orange/yellow hue. So they can't be used as a color reference.
