Nice I like the crest in the boot. The flames look awesome. And the shading around the hand is nicely done. What did you use to make this?

I would put some creases in the bend of the leg that is bent and maybe angle it a little more. Just to show depth.

Quote from Jombo
Oh lordy, look at some anatomy. Where's his butt? And where have you seen that pose done before? It doesn't look like you bothered to draw a skeleton first and get the stance down before drawing the details. It looks so awkward.

Was there ever a point in the drawing where it looked like this?
Poses (Click to Show)

If so, learn how to do skeleton structures better. If not, start doing skeleton structures. Pose first, then details like face/clothing/muscles/ etc.

I dont bother doing these when i draw, but i really should. Mostly i dont do it beacause its tedious and i have a pretty short attention span when it comes to digital art. And i use mouse so it takes way longer than it should. But anyway, that was completely off topic
this kind of planning and such is usefull in making anatomically and perspectively accurate art, i also suggest you do it. Also, i recomend you learn up about shadows and light sources as well. Im also not very fond of the way you do eyes, but that may be just me.

I draw stick figs first, then those 3d objects for guidelines or I directly draw the body (it doesn't matter since it's just gonna be covered in clothes lol)...
Fire - Needs Improvement
Body Shape/ Anatomy - HELL IT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT, but it's good enough...
Feet - Damn Large, it looks like Megaman lol
Thigh Length - He looks short somehow
Head - Proper head shape please...
Ears - Should begin in the same line with the middle of the eyes and end at the same line with the bottom of the nose or the mouth, but it's close enough
Hair - Damn too simple, but it's good
Eyes - Is this anime or toon?

Wow. Comments seem kinda of rough...

The shadow isn't bad. A lot of it's in the right places, just needs more of it. I like to draw an arrow where the light is hitting and shade around that. The pose is a little awkward. If you draw the shapes like in Jombo's post, you can get a feel for how the body would "sit" better.

Ok wow, here we go:
@Jombo- whenever i try to correct the anatomy it always comes out wrong and i did that pose cuz i like being creative i guess. And the picture did look like that at the beginning but with a lot less lines.
@Drone- shading is tough and im still learning, if there are any links that can help me plz let me know. Ill work on the eyes too.
@Fordz- i don't know what to say to you since you think i have so much wrong with my art, but ill take it into consideration.

Wow , you guys made me realize how bad i am at this, but thanks anyway, ill keep trying...
