Edit: I am aware of the hip issue going on here. ^^ Though, it actually is a choice I made.
I know they are on the freakier side of slim, but since the pic is made for my own amusement, I wanted it this way.
But if you think it's disturbing to the eye, please let me know, and I might change it back to a more natural size!
I don't want my little man-butt here to be unattractive.
/edit
This is a B/W picture to be coloured. But I don't have the time right now, so I'm sharing it as it is. Some lack of detail, so conceder it kind of a WIP. ^^
And to , here's some smoooooth man-butt for yah!

This picture is really great: although all is gray, there are some subtle contrasts in depth and in continuity (vertical body versus diagonal horizon).
And it's moving overall, even though it seems passively indifferent: it just feels so cold.

Thank you for your lovely comment! 
Your words brought a smile to my face, cause I was really hoping for it to look both cold and indifferent.
And you have a keen eye, noticing the contrasts and all... ^^

This is just plain cool. I really don't see much of anything wrong with it. Yes there are things out of proportion, but it looks like they are that way intentionally so I am not going to critique that. The only flaw is the second thread down looks a bit wobbly. Like the composition too. Have you considered making little trickles of blood from the fingers? It looks like they are really digging into the skin, it would be cool if it looked like they had broken the skin a bit.

Thank you!
Yes I actually considered some blood from the fingers. (I do like adding blood to my paintings.

I think it is a wonderful picture. Love the use of the grey colours. I don't see the anatomic problem but that is probably just me and not something else. I don't know if I would have coloured it. I love it as it is.

We'll see if I ever get around colouring it. ^^ Tooooo lazy for my own good when things are difficult!
But I want to! Cause I think it would look cool.

No, can't say that I do actually. This is my first digital pic ever in grayscale. ^^ But I heard that too, so that's why I'm trying it out.
And it does indeed help with being aware of values.
Oh yeah... Never got that. ^^ Cause I'm terribly frightened by needles. Maybe that's why it's so fascinating.

lol! hm...im ok with needles xD i even kinda look forward to them sometimes

I learn new things all the tiome since I'm still new to the game. ^^ And the greyscale thing is great! Isn't it!
Except... It becomes so evident when we fail.
Needles to get better you say.. I dunno...

OMG MANBUTT.
Also, jag tycker attdet är hur coolt som helst att händerna är mer detaljerat skuggade, ser ut som om de är lite mer noggrant gjorda än ryggen, eftersom de då står ut mer och ser ännu mer creepy ut
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
YESSSH! Man-butt!
We like man-butt...
Vad roligt att du la märke till den detaljen!
Ville lyfta fram dem lite så de inte bara smälte in med resten. ^^ Jag älskar händer!!
Vet inte ens hut jag skulle göra om jag skulle göra ryggen mer detaljerad.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, jag med, även om jag är lite dålig på dem så jag försöker oftast få dem att inte märkas lika mycket. Jag gömmer dem alltså inte, men jag framhäver dem inte heller...
Nej, fler detaljer kan den ju inte få, men jag menade mer att skuggningen är starkare och lite mer noggrant gjord, DEN är mer detaljerad på händerna än ryggen... öh... och om jag makes no sense at all, så nöj dig med att jag tycker att det är jättefint

No, no... Making sense.

Ahh... dystert och kallt. Det där ser smärtsamt ut, inte bara ur ett fysiskt perspektiv. Mycket fin bild!

Tack!!
He, he.. Jo, jag ville väl få fram den psykiska smärtan genom att använda den fysiska på nåt vis. ^^
Glad att du gillade den!

The anatomy is a little off, but I think it actually adds a really awesome affect to the piece; it makes it feel more human, which is what the message of the work is in the first place. I love the concept, the lack of color, and the foggy distance is very well done! Bravo. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
With anatomy, are you thinking about the hips, or something else? I would be very happy if you specified it a bit.
And thank you dearly for liking it anyway! 
Foggy distance was a blast!
I have to say I had no clue how a male back really looks. ^^ And the references I found didn't help all that much.
And thank you so muck for all the undeserved praise, sweetie!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha! It is absolutely deserved! Don't second guess your talent!
I think the shoulders are a bit unaligned, and the back should probably curve a bit with his pose. And while I'm not the queen of male anatomy either, I think his hips should be about the same width as his shoulders - at least, that's what all my anatomy-made-easy books tell me.
You said this was a WIP, right? Are you planning on adjusting his appearance a little bit? I'd actually suggest getting a buddy to pose for you - maybe not naked, of course - but so you might get a better feel for it. In any case, I love the piece anyway! His face and hair is GORGEOUS.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah! Curvation! 
I might adjust the appearance a bit, yes.
But I think that hips and shoulders are supposed to be the same on females, the shoulders can be broader on men, hence the "V"-shape expression. ^^
With that said, the hips are freakishly slim here. And many have commented it, so I'll change it, and keep this version to my self untouched though.
And If I am to get a model, he better be nekkid!!

Really nice. If I was to colour it, I think I would use just a little bit of colour here and there, it looks good in black and white. One complaint about though, have you taken a closer look on him and compared the width of his shoulder and the width of his hips? sure, males tend to have broader shoulders than hips, but his are almost twice as wide as his hips. ^_^

Thank you!
Painting in grey scale really put my contrasting skills to the test. ^^ And they, weren't that amazing to begin with.
I will probably go with icy blue, and add in some earthy and green tones. That will probably give it that cold and dirty dusty feel I'm looking for.
Yeeesh! The hips. ^^
I made them freakishly slim because I like this exaggerated bodyshape.
I have seen a few men built like this, but if it is an eyesore to many, I may change it back into a more traditional size.
I don't want that issue to be a disturbance in the picture.
