I did this all in less than half of a day! I forgot scales, but that's okay. Does he look awesome and savage? I tried to get a cool pose going on there.

I'm a little bit mean, and I'm a little bit blonde. I'm a little bit testy, so lets get it on!About Me

Thoroughly oozing awesome!
Generally I do prefer the scale MKDA model for a Reptile devolved to this point, and yet, the smooth repto-humanoid you've done almost seems more in-keeping with the Mortal Kombat sketch style.
I couldn't say why, but it reminds me of early Reptile.
Unfortunately I have very little of value to offer, other than - Great stuff!

First things first, how this gets a 4.5 and other stuff out here gets 3.5s and lower really baffles me. I've got nothing against the artist or the picture itself, but this really isn't near perfect quality.
Now for the critique
You did manage to get a good pose like you wanted, but it just isn't menacing enough. The lack of expression in the face makes it look more like Reptile is cringing away from an attack rather than ready to strike.
The outfit is really fitting for Reptile in this form as well, though the musculature needs quite a bit of work to appear more natural and less like a bunch of dark green lines on neon paint.
The pencil lines really need to be erased, and more colors used in the shading process to give a more whole feeling. It looks kind of like a mix-mash of an attempt at a vector with the sketch lines still visible over top of it and some MS Paint spray can effects on the trees. All of this causes too much interference with the rest of the image and detracts from the overall grace this piece had the potential of posessing.
The lines on the trees are too smooth. I realise you want to give them the appearance of being alive, but you've gone past that and given them animal characteristics. They branches and roots look more like tenticles than limbs. The lack of proper texturing and lighting doens't help either.
Somewhere on Reptile we should see some shadows. If the light is coming from the top front as it appears to be, his legs and definately his chest should be shrouded in darkness to give him a more substantial existance within the painting. There should also be some shadows cast upon the grass from the trees and Reptile as well. If you were going for an effect of the whole area being covered in shadow by the canopy of the Living Forest, then you need to tone down the brightness of your colors to make them more appropriate.
Overall a 3/5
You've got some obvious talent inside, just remember to keep practicing and nurturing it so it'll make it's way to the surface
