Whew! Been workin on this for bout 2 weeks on and off. Tis an image I mainly did at work, amazing what one can do with a few water colours. Made this image with those and some pencils for lil extra bits, also some white pen for the white effects. Very proud of this, as I need to work on more detailed images, on larger canvases, like A4, as I always seem to work on A5. So please, give me your views. The scan does not do this image full justice, but ya can view in more detail by goin here:

Wow, you are really sticking to your personal promise, Phil =D It's easy to see that this is no cheap image, you really paid attention to it. A load of details in there, well shading, fine inking, and nice background. You see, going larger than A5 really pays the hell off, this picture might have looked awkward if done on A5.
I cannot see any big flaws here, you really took care that everything fits. But as real artists are not fancy for ass-kissing, I might point out two little things, which I recognized; one thing is, that the perspective looks somewhat "retro". I say so because, the perspective doesn't look fully real, it rather looks like one of these old school 2D street fighting games, where you walk from left to right an beat down everything that moves. RThe background really reminds me of such a things, which doesn't necessarily need to be something bad =D
The other thing is, that I can't really see any clear light sources. The shadows are all around, but still there are no really dark areas, you see this in the character, the environment and for example, behind the broken window. It might come from your limited drawing media, but I don't know so far :b
But I do not wanna end this comment with critiques. I have to shake your hand for these details you put in there, like the paving tiles, or the wet wall and ground around the drain.
Last personal statement: I would have liked it, if you drew some gun fire in there =) But anyhow, 10 points, dude!

Woo! And 10 points for the comment! ^^
Yes, I'm glad to see you noticed how much of an effort I put into this, as I really worked hard on it. As for the 'Retro' background, I didn't really notice it myself, but I like it! Back in the day where you would punch the trash can, and get yummy foodz out of it! XD
As for the light source, I was difficult to determine where it was coming from, mostly from the top right of the image was the idea, but the I do need more practice with paints, as the shadows are really only defined on the clothing more than anything else.
But yes, I am pleased with this, and plan to continue working on A4 or higher from here on! And I await to see your next impressive image! =p
