How he got that metal arm is kind of a long story, a story that I don't feel like typing out. lolsry.
But yeah. His arm is a great source of pain, self-loathing, pride, and a mix of other emotions as well. Very confusing, yus.
Anyway this is Hapenstanse, the dune goanna. Yay!

I think your detailing and textures are totally awesome, but his left arm holding the weapon looks like it doesn't belong to him. I saw in your other piece that the character had a similar problem, and if I'm not mistaken - I think you are attempting to show perspective? Closer = bigger, Farther away = smaller? Well tiz true concerning perspective, but your arm seems to not only be a lot smaller, but also less muscular than the other arm. It is also placed a mite lower than the other shoulder. If you drew a line across the top of his chest, following the direction of the pectoral muscles, you would see that the line angles up slightly. So if anything the far arm should be higher than the closer arm, following that line of the body (I would draw you an example, but that is best suited for the forums). If you only beefed up that arm and made him own it more, I think there would be little else to critique in this sketch! :) You've a real talent in that head of yours, if you can learn to master the anatomy/bones/perspective more. These are also my weak points (as well as lighting), so you are not alone! We can only continue to practice, practice, practice. Hope to see more from you!

Wow, thanks a ton! It's not every day I get such well thought out and excellent critique. And now that I look at this again I do agree that his shoulders are a bit funny looking. :< It's never too late to go back and fix them, though!
Thanks again.

You're welcome! And if you are ever looking for more in-depth critique, there is a Critique forum you can post whatever you want in and get feedback (including redlines where other artists sketch a visual critique). There are also sketchbooks where you can post practice drawings, sketches, and doodles as you learn and grow and you can get feedback in there too. People are a little easier on you in the sketchbooks though, since they know what you post there is mainly for practice/fun. Take as much advantage of this site as you can - there are so many artists whose brains are available for picking! :P
