I finished drawing a pin-up for the first issue of the new Image book Strongarm. Pre-order an issue or three of this book. Show some love.

That's it? You don't like the face?

Is there anything technically wrong with the face or you don't like it and it ruins the whole pic?

Nothing wrong with the face, leave it!
Nice work!

Nah I don't like that face! You know it reminds me of new tv cartoons, like I am thinking Jackie Chan adventures and stuff. Also some of the American comics that are influenced by anime when it comes out mixed. I think it just looks really flat, distracting against the rest of the picture. And the design is just not appealing. No sir. That face - it is no good.

So what could you do to make the face more to my liking? Hmmm... Well okay like I said it looks flat. It needs dimension, for instance I think the hair is off at an angle which makes it look like a scribbled line over a forehead. All the line widths look the same too. Maybe it was not too good an idea to crop off the top part of the head either? The features of the face, they just remind my of a grid. No personality, no movement... Maybe if you used more techniques on the face, like you did on the arms it would be improved. Something to give it texture. I'm not saying to make the head photorealistic, just that it looks different (worse) than the rest of the picture.

But I'm not an artist so I what do I know?

Sweet! This will look great in the book.

I love the way you phrased that. It's as if you were the only person he had intended to please. :laugh:

Seriously though, that's one sweet ass pic.
