You should go and talk them in to having that whole arm redone. Your poor Ben looks real nice, but he is living in a house of shit. Nice job on the portrait seriously. I like stylized portraits a lot. Looks real smooth.

It looks a tad too light to me, specially for a hand which gonna be exposed to the sunlight regularly other than that top job !!

Nicely rendered. Being on a hand you are probably going to have to go back and pump up the contrast some. Hands just dont hold the same as other skin.

Only thing that bothers me is if you hadn't said who it was in the description I never would have guessed it. It's a bit too zoomed in to really relay who it is.

^ this. It's really sweet though, very clean.

Now you mention it, it prob is a little zoomed in to recognize who it is if your not clued up on your history. When i did various sizes the smaller images looked just toO small to get the feel i wanted from this piece if that makes sense.
I am expecting to do a 2nd pass and as its my first hand i thought i would tread carefully and not go to heavy as we all know we can add but not take away.
