Nice work sir. I like your efficient use of shape and brushstrokes.

His uniform could use some drapery and his sleeves are too puffed out.

His banana clip is too thin. Do some more research on it.

Drapery...?

Agreed about the brushstrokes. They're confident and your shapes are very efficient, though I think some of your edges could be tighter. The left hand is looking a little too big. Also, the rifle could use some more details. I'm sure you had reference for it, but really look at the components and how they connect.

I like the quasi-cartoon-y style you've got going on though.

That's looking pretty good! Definitely needs some reference on the rifle though, it's far too small and the clip's tiny, as was already pointed out.

Nice Work! I like the expression on his face!

I think his left side of his face need more light considering how much of his armour that gets hit by the light... I mean considering the lightsource as I see it his left side(our right) of his face look a bit sunken in and dark.... at least a bit of his cheek bone.
Other then that I think it looks great. keep working on the details!!

*Cracks knuckles* Let's see what my inner gun geek has to say...

The helmet's probably sized wrong for him... That vest... Accurate, but needs work on the details. Like the pouches that a field trooper would need... The elbow pads are oversized, not allowing much articulation... And why's he using a Colt SMG? Did the DEA have a discount sale?

But, love the fact you remembered to keep his finger off the trigger!

Great work!
My advice would be to add a bit more textural variation. I really like the texture in his face but the rest of the image has a fairly smooth texture. Adding a bit of texture somewhere, be it in the background, the uniform, etc., I think that would bring up the visual interest in the piece like it does in the soldier's face.
Keep it up!

Drapery...?

Wrinkles in the cloth reacting to form.

Thank you all for commenting and critiquing!!! I agree with all the feedback you guys provided. I should definitely watch out for those things.
