Very nice perspective!

Lovin' the colors as well, but would love to see it a bit more contrasting. Dark, grimy streets and gloomy (maybe a slight haze/fog?) in stark contrast to your wonderfully bright and glowing neon. I honestly haven't worked with pens/pencils in ages though, so super kudos!

Do you like/have you ever tried oil pastels? I think you might enjoy playing with those a bit and have fun layering, smoothing and blending.

The only "negative" (and don't think of it as that way, please) critique I could give is the focal character... Not sure if it's the perspective, proportions or the circumference of each arm being different.. but it seems a little off. It blends well with the other characters in the background to not be too jarring... but the more I stare at it (which, it is a main focal point ;d) the less I'm able to pin down what feels slightly awkward about it.

Overall, however - love it :D

Keep up this wonderful work! I look forward to seeing more.

Thanks for the feedback hats! I'm still figuring out perspective and figure drawing so the dimensions are a little wonky at times (his right foot will haint my dreams forever) I haven't used oil pastels but I'll pick up a set and give them a go. Playing around with acrylic paint at the moment, I hope to put up something soon.

Hope you don't mind, but... I played around with it a bit. Unfortunately couldn't get your sig fully (it's cut off in the org a bit) nor perfectly straight and cropped... But, that's my failing.

After doing a lot of zooming and such, I've come to appreciate your attention to detail a lot!

Again, keep it up~

(it'll be posted here and only here but will happily remove it if asked!)

p.s. Do you have a title for your piece?

That looks awesome! By all means feel free to remix and edit what I post. No title for it yet, not sure what to call it, but I'm open to suggestions.
