~whistles~ ...Wow. That's the first thing that went through my mind when I saw this. Truly...a wonderful piece, hands down. Make sure to color it well! ~teasing~ ^^
Anyways, you asked for nice, good ol' constructive criticism. So here we go:
+The hand in the pocket. Specifically, the thumb. The way you've hooked it (as if the thumb was bent) looks awkward, and in my opinion, should actually be more or less straight - generally, when people put their hands in their pockets, they keep their thumb straight when doing so. Figured if you wanted a more realistic look, you'd want to notice that.
+Down the pocket side of the jacket-thing. The stripes aren't parallel. Even with perspective tilting the lines (because of the wrinkles, the lines will tilt, etc. etc.; yeah, I knew that), they would still appear more or less parallel - only, with the wrinkles added in, it would make the lines do this:
| |
\ \
instead of this:
| |
\ /
Get what I'm saying?
+For some reason...I just can't put my finger on it, but I can't stop thinking that the person's left leg doesn't have enough wrinkles. That blotch of white space is kinda distracting, when you compare it to all the incredibly nice detailed wrinkles you've put everywhere else. Strange, eh?
Those are pretty much the only major-ish things I could make a serious note of. Obviously, it's still a little bit sketchy with the soft lines and stuff, but I assume that they were kept that way for the coloring process, so...word, yo.
Hope my ideas kinda helped you out a bit. If they didn't...then...ignore me. ^^

I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
