Here's a two-fisted tough guy! Maybe even the next heavyweight champ of 1938!

The shadow is cool, but very stark. Depending on if that is the intent or not, maybe it could be a little less "dense", for lack of a better word. Add a touch of transparency (although that may just grey it out) or blur the edges just a tiny bit. Not sure... Or maybe it is the contrast with the white background, and putting a brick wall or something as the background might help.

The nice thing about the shadow is that it is more evocative. In either case he's turning to fight something behind him. But the shadow implies there is a bright light coming from low and behind, which immediately makes me think he's walked into a trap, and they (cops? goons?) just turned on spot lights.

In either case, nice job!

Just curious... has anybody noticed a theme for these last sketches...?

They've been striking me as very Pulpy.

Got a Mystery Man product in the works?

Only a bunch of (soon to be thwarted) * on a secret Atlantean island of Dinosaurs knows for sure!

I love pulp, and these last few pictures have been very dynamic to boot! Great job, as for the shadow it looks better with it although as has been said it's a bit too strong, maybe drop it to 40 or 50 opacity.

All the best
