good job dude

Looks like a portrait, pretty cool. Shading is ok, and he looks stern. I say it looks pretty cool. I also enjoy the detail. I can’t say I see anything bad. Although, near his arm to the left, it looks like that pad-looking thing is sliding off his arm.
4/5(-1 for the sliding thing)

I like it.

You made his left (Our right) shoulderpad a bit shorter than the other one, it just sends the whole think out of proportion, other than that its realy good well done.

Keep at it sonny jim

Wow! It looks very, very nice. Like boomboom said, it has the "look" of a portrait, which, IMO, is something very hard to achieve well in a drawing.

PROS:

- His hat is amazing. Great shading, great attention to detail, and good size in proportion to the rest of his (visible) body.
- Hair looks realistic and very reminiscent of Raiden's white, flowing hair.
- Top-notch work on his clothing, particularly the shading of his clothing. You went dark and medium at just the right places, and knew where to leave out shading completely. I especially like how well you connected the "hood" over his head to the rest of his outfit.

CONS:

- This is a matter of opinion, but I think Raiden's lips were a bit too small.
- Like skinsley mentioned, the armor/pad on his right shoulder seems a bit longer than the left one.

OVERALL:

I loved this picture, its realism, and the obvious time and effort you put into it. And since every negative thing I mentioned is just a matter of opinion, I'm giving this a 5/5.
