woops, that wasnt very helpful of me was it, guess thats what happens on 3hrs sleep tongue.gif
it looks a little too thick to me, i think if you bring it in a little closer to the armpit it should look a little smoother..

Thanks man. I think I messed up convincing the viewer that that's actually the shoulder, and not the body. Shoulder connects up more towards the neck. I think I can still fix it without re-inking though. Got a couple tricks up my sleeve I can pull. biggrin.gif

The blank space directly above the head seems to be causing the flow issues.
Follow the body line from tail to head and you'll see what I mean.

Adding depth by shading when you add colour will definately help bring the head forward of the body, stopping the figure 8 illusion

I'm sorry, but if you can't follow the flow on this one, I'll be dumbfounded. Well... I can agree that he could have been a little less coiled up, but as far as everything else, I think... as unhumble as this may sound... THAT'S FUCKING MONEY!!! cool.gif
