    right, my crits are:
    -head is too big for body
    -legs are too short [legs usually equal the space from the top of the head to the pelvis/groiny area]
    -abdomen is very long, shorten it up
    - he looks like hes floating, ground him a little better

    most of these can be fixed in photoshop, selecting and scaling, especially if its a base for a digi painting
    my advice though; do more studies, anatomy etc and some thumbnailing to get a really interesting composition without any long laborious drawing sessions, really quick scribbles
    just thought it would be more beneficial to tell you this now before you start work on it than later when itll be more difficult to change
    keep at it though

    From what i can see... shorten the stomach area below the pecs and extend the legs, basically i find the top half above the pecs is fairly ok. But would have to look again after re-done...

    Your lower body is out of scale with the upper body. You could rub out the lower part and redo. Oh and and the waist is to thin and move the head up a bit and to the right as well. i look forward to seeing your update.

    In addition to what others are saying about the abdomen being too long, part of the problem might be that the pec's are too short (vertically).

    If you really want to keep the prehistoric man theme, then you might have to ditch the wrappings and belt.

    Make sure the horizon matches the eye level of the viewer. Judging by the figure, I'd say the eye level is roughly above the waistline.
