Some guy stuff again!
I drew this one a while ago (used a reference). The background is very simple but I'm quite satisfied with the outcome (though your crits/feedback are always welcome!).----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looks nice. One of the shoulders does look a bit weird, but I assume it'd be hard to get everything correct when muscles are involved. The background is pretty simple, but I do like it.

Wow pretty cool. The proportions and human shape look very good.
But feel like I have to tell you to pick an option and stick with it. By that I mean a couple of things: First, if your not gonna draw the outline of the gun when it's over the character then you forgot to erase the outline on his arm; Secondly, the bright line of light on the right side, either have it under the black outline or have it replace it, but not both; Lastly, the line across his chest can't run over the outlines unlessΒ it's a belt and if that's the case then itΒ should go a bit beyond the limits of his body to denote that it's a belt that goes over.
Well, that and the finger that is not holding the knife are things you need to work on. Also, I don't know how you work, but keeping lineart, collors, shades and other stuff on different layers. That way, for instance, you could have drawn that belt across his chest bellow the lines but over the color. Also, I'm not sure about the lighting, having two sources of light, especially with different levels, complicates and confuses things, I think it's beter to keep it simple.
Anyways, those are my two cents, hope I can see you improving.

Thank you my man for the awesome crit and suggestions you offered! I really appreciate them. You are of course right! I actually have trouble estabilsihing a clear visual style in my paintings so I tend to experiment a bit sometimes it works sometiems it doesn't, and you clearly pointed out what didnt!
I will definitely keep your suggestions in mind next time, or at least will try to!
Thank you it really does help a lot to have such feedback!

This is amazing! I love the position of the character. He is one fella I would not want to cross. The only complaint is have is the head, specifically, the hair. It seems a little...stiff.

Thank you my friend, I really appreciate your feedback! 
Yes, the hair, I always have trouble with those!

I know, right? Hair is a pain in the butt to draw. Your welcome, by the way.

You're coloring is pretty good, I like the way how the lighting highlights the back part of his body and the moon is supposed to be the cause of it

thank you!
There are actually more light sources, though they from a physics stand point arent' really correct, but well a little bit of cheating won't hurt!

This one is quite good. i like how stylized you've made him. the use of colors and shading in place of line art worked out well in the picture. if i had to say anything its that i don't wannaΒ meet him in the dark. lol.

thank you, you are very kind my friend!

youre very welcome!
that happens in my pictures sometimes as well, sometimes the lighting will be off in some parts and i dont notice until after its finished, but hey, thats all a part of learning and growing, right? ^^

yes exactly! one must never stop learning

WOOOHOOOOO!!!! DAMN! this guy looks like a badass! & I really dig the style you illustrated him with. The background is excellent, perfect for this type of illustration because it creates atmosphere while at the same time allowing all attention to be focused on the main subject.
Very good foreshortening & the reflection you did there with the light bouncing off his right side really just ads that something extra to make the character part of the atmosphere.
Lolz, although his outfit is a but skin-tight, is he wearing a speed suit of some kind?Β

Thanks man, I really appreciate it!
Yeah back to my "sharp" style
Yeah the outfit!
But honestly the outfit is really this tight mostly because I'm not really good with clothes yet and also am still working more on my anatomy skills. I wanted actually add more datail and variet to the clothign but Inkscape has gone bonkers whenever I zoomed in too much so..
