Great job :D
5/5

here is the WIP thread:

i'd like to see the WIP for this.

Damn, this is awsome!!

the adductors are never covered by the quads, especially with legs akimbo - that's an anatomical falsity and that's exactly my point about them.  And the fact that you can name them had nothing to do with whether you've made them the right shapes :).

If you think these are just exaggerating the existing shapes, i suggest studying legs intensely for a while.  There's nothing wrong with drawing them differently, but thinking that these are done accurately (or accurately exaggerated, if that makes sense) suggests flawed knowledge, and a mistake is different than a decision.

This is more hardcore than pixeljoint is made for, if you want to talk about legs more you could IM me or something.  It's hard to discuss with email-tag anyway :).

Wow, can I do a request and you make me one of these :O

I'll agree that the elbow area was for the most part invented for this piece, though the thigh area is very accurate (just exagerrated).  I can name every muscle thats defined in the thigh area of this image.  I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're getting at with the adductors, because these are mostly covered by the quads in a frontal vew such as this - leaving only slight hints on the inside of the quad (which I do have a little bit of on the frontmost leg)

maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying?

Lovely palette and technique, sway, and overall handling :) :).

i suppose in such an exaggerated piece, it may be irrelevant to note anatomical strangeness, but the elbows and thighs are totally invented in a way that actually takes away from the charm of the exaggeration and replaces it with pure distortion.

thighs mostly - adductors group is important, as is making sure that the main structural muscles move from large outside near the butt and large inside near the knee - otherwise you end up with sausages :)

The design and shading on this in incredible, it's so rich and strong. Makes me want to add it to my favourites twice. It's awesome to see new art from you again. :D

Wow really cool character!

I  love it :), 5+fav

I love the fact that he looks just like Hitler,also I love the shirt!

Beautiful, amazing shading and unlike a few other people I like the style of the drawing itself, aside from the pixel rendering/coloring. Splendid work!

Has a real Street Fighter feel to it. Love the details and colour choice. Good job.

I like it!

that board is going to break.

looks gangsta, good jorb

good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also noticed this. It kinda looks like a horse leg. And yeah, Hitler, etc. This rocks.

I love this. The colors are so sexy!

Thanks so much guys for the kind comments.  I'll be making a slight update later tonight.  :)

Jal:  There's plenty of AA in there, mang :P

chanfan:  yes, hitler took up skateboarding after a freak nuclear accident which caused his muscular overgrowth.

This looks awesome. I like that he's holding a skateboard.

Excellent. I absolutely love the shading, palette and style.

I like it =) good work on the sweater, that beard of him really resembles hitler a bit, so does his face expression ^^, the chain is really nice aswell, the entire piece reminds me a bit of your orge ^^

Throughout this whole piece I have to say I love the chain the most.

Is this hitler?

on my tiny-ass resolution ... when I first viewed this I totally thought it was a 3D render!  Excellent work!!

Faved!!! Wonderful work all around on this.

Very cool styling on this one! Good job

I find the design and idea uninteresting but its very well done. Glad to see this one has a weenie. He deserve it.

Full of very nice moments, shading-wise.
Not a fan of the proportions or posture, though.

NO WAAAAY! *collapses on floor*

Well done man.
Glad I could be of help. :]

The chain turned out really well.

Cool style, reminds me of Mike Haggar. Lighting on the forehead seems a bit odd though. A minimum of dithering here and there would have helped also. Anyway very good stuff.

I always love your work, this is great.

just perfect "D ... i love the style ...

Holy crap. Very you, very awesome. I love how that sweater looks the color and style makes it look very futuristic.

fantastic job in my fav

Very clean and stylish!

His right leg (our left) looks very odd to me. Everything else is just fantastic.

Almost no AA...
I thought I'd never see the day
