just wanted to show u guys / see what u think about this. Keep in mind that if u wanna critique, don't critique the composition, but the character design(as this is just that, a character design, and not meant to be a serious composition, but rather something I can see the details in and draw from later)

the more i look at this guy, the more i like 'em. you put some thought in the fashion design.

the more i look at the desert background, the more i hate that cactus.

i know, focus on the character...

ok, strong body design.
weak pose- is he doing a jig? not sure.

that cactus is pissing me off.

ok, back to the character...

overall, great body design but weak pose.
strong eye contact in the face but generic hair.

i wish i could erase that freak'n cactus. hehe

yeah yeah, - don't critique the composition. i know...

i think what pulley is saying that the background seems rather abstract, all the elements there are very geometric and do not hold the eye...except for the cactii. which is probably why that was one of the first things that i saw instead of your character as well.. maybe keep it all abstract? or make a background that is more coherent? i think that the character is interesting except for the head.. everything else seems to work well with itself.

well i really appreciate the comment sbut .. on the background : I useually create a new character when i have alot of free time like I'm stuck somewhere or in a boring class etc and this was one of those times.. so really the B G is just doodles to pass the time ^_^; anyway I wanna develop this character further and in that process I'll go through color design and maybe chnage the hair if I'm so inclined to do that at some point ^__^ so uh, when I get around to it I'll show u guys how its progressing EDIT: on the pose : usually when I first draw a character the pose is really just awkward because its main purpose is to clearly show the most of the character I cna in one position ^__^;;

I am not sure if clothing is composition or character design....but....I like the buckles/straps and more of them...maybe just their length and width or presence would be nice. Perhaps some to hold the stitched parts of the pants together....perhaps longer shoulder guards. But thats just my natural desire for full armoring and this character has a light feel instead.
