His head is pretty much right in the middle which is a big no no. I suggest doing a lot of thumb nails before thinking about rendering. But before that you might want to do a bunch of quick master studies of composition just to get an idea of different comps to play around with. Quick as in a couple minutes tops to just block out the major shapes and values. I know the planning phase seems boring but its one of the most important steps to creating a compelling piece of art.
Thanks for your comment! I didn't know the face in the middle thingy was such a no no, would it be better if i bring up the head a bit higher? I really want to get better at composing that's sure, do you may have a site where i can study this? Thanks.
Also to what SaidTheJoker pointed out, i was going for some cartoonistic feel but i guess if it looks odd to others i might have to change it to some more realistic proportions.
Anyway thanks both for your time and tips, i will try to give you guys an update before new years eve. :)
