blatant rip off of powerthirst here but nobody cares

i think it turned out pretty nic, but i don't like the index finger it is too long or something.

I think the problem with the index finger is that it looks like the first bone down from the knuckle is bent. Beyond that, I like it, although I confess to knowing nothing of art.

it aint important to carry great arts, it's about esthetics. and everyone know's what he finds esthetic or not.
that's a big point in such advertising images.

plus i thought he (the hands rest of body) was afraid of the coffee. that's why i came up with the overpaint. you could have used motion blur etc. to make the cup look shaking, energetic.
additionally your point w'd have been clearer i guess if the cup was on a table or something. now it looks like hes moving it due to being scared.

i think it is more obvious when you've had 'coffee shakes' recently

'coffee shakes' has become a permanent part of me, so it is pretty obvious for me

Arg, hands always look shit when coloured in, and yeah the index finger is ****ed.

Still, it's pretty tight.
