Smoothed out the background and made some big changes to the colors and values in the figure. (Hooray for levels and saturation adjustment!) I'm noticing some problems in the shading (he looks shiny XD), so I'll be fixing those.

Nice! It's really gotten a lot of life with the heavy shading. His hand is really really good. You're doing a great job with this, keep it up. (and also updating it often, I could never do that ;P).
I'm not that good at making suggestions, but I'll try... His face gets too dark the way it is right now, I think some lighter outlines could help? (I don't mean actual lines, I mean like the reflection of the light in the floor making his face slightly visible). The same could go for the arm... Also, shouldn't the arm be slightly darker? Because the way it is now, it doesn't seem to be going under his body which kinda makes it seem like he's missing a part of it.
And his head for some reason doesn't look round how it's shaded... maybe you could try to do it like he's behind? With more shadow in what would be the top of the head to give the sensation of roundness? :S I don't know how to explain it better.
Ehrm, I hope I'm not being annoying and some of this advise actually helps. You're doing a great job, anyway. Good luck with it!

Thanks! (I update often because I'm excited to finally be doing something really good XD That, and I just got in the routine of it. And am occasionally a show off.)

I see what you mean about the face. The file on my computer has those shadow-side highlights (forget what they're called) now, so it should look a bit better when I upload the next one. I see what you mean about the arm, thanks for pointing it out. *has been staring at this too long* I'll try to fix it.

Yeah, the highlight is shaped like a shadow is the problem. I been working on that.

Not annoying at all! This is actually very helpful. When I work on something this long, I get to be really blind to the problems with it. Thanks so much for the critique and encouragement.
