WiP - It just doesn't look right. Critiques welcome

Thanks for showing the reference. It makes sense, now. (And I hope what I said earlier was of some use).

What you could ALSO do is use those basic pose and modify it to your liking. Make a couple features more dynamic/interesting instead of following the boring model you see right now. Following planes even in a basic sense (like JBZ says~) you can retain the lighting from the figure easily.

Tis where the reference stops and your creation begins.
