Quite mysterious..

I can't help but hear him say "helo, mi nombre es... Carlos." in a think Hispanic accent

And for the first time ever....Kentaro Miura's Sailor Moon Half-Time Show!! Featuring: his vision of Tuxedo Mask!!
JAAAAAA-PAN, GO! *victory sign*

I was thinking a Yaoi version of Tuxedo Mask!!

We'll call it a mix

Really love the cloth, here. This looks like something from the 17th century.

Talk about creepy mask guys... http://i.imgur.com/RdvPN.jpg

Try making a mask out of your own face skin

I see a softening of Our Host's usually sharply-chiseled definition on this model.
Progress..?

"Let me show you a magic trick."

Reminds me sooo much of this guy from The Adventures of Mark Twain.

I can't unsee it now.

That scene may not have traumatized me as a kid, but it certainly made me sad.

All those poor little clay people... :'(

Misery loves company; don't think you were the only one traumatized by that scene. I spent slightly more than 20 years trying to find what movie it came from (I was too young to read the title when I first saw it). Now that I owe said movie, I managed to get a little bit of closure in my life.

Wow, beautiful!
Have you ever drawn a human before?! :-D

You must be new here. :3

i remember you asking for crits-
anatomy:
you've given him a 10 pack set of abs, there should be 2 small ones sitting on top of the bottom of the rib cage, 4 below that and then the large sheet of muscle below that which the belly button sits in. http://i.imgur.com/nS7vX2x.png
2 things that aren't mentioned in anatomy books that are useful to know - Abs are rarely symmetrical, in fact its very unusual to see abs mirrored across and even. The classic 6 pack isn't on every man
some bodybuilders cannot develop the top row that sit on the ribcage no matter how much they train, so a 4 pack is common too.
there's some other things like the serratus anterior is not quite right and the far elbow should be level with the belly button and the pecs flow into the side of the deltoid rather than below, too prominent a ribcage for the body type etc.

volume/form:
i think because you've come from line art you aren't describing the true form/volume of the object, and are trying to understand it with lines.
e.g the abs & pecs are outlined with a dark line, realistically they would not form deep enough crevices/cavity to have that deep a shadow.
the best way to get a better understanding of form/volume is to do cast studies, google image 'cast study' and you'll see what i mean.
working from a cast with a properly set up single light source can teach you how light describes the subtle forms, cast shadows, form shadows etc
working from a photo of a cast is pretty good too.

brush-
if you are using photoshop look into finding some brushes to use with the smudge tool.
people like to bitch that its 'not the right way to do it' yadyada and that the smudge tool looks bad.
yes if used in the wrong way. if it can be used to emulate the qualitys of a fan brush in oilpainting, its the best tool there is to blend color.

It's like "Phantom of the Chippendale's"

Sexy bod. Sexy coloring

Why does everyone say it's creepy? Is nawt creepy. :(
