Day 206 - Ludicrous Muscles
Musclebound adonis, or steroid abuser? You decide!
Also, I HAVE to make this silly some how, hence the fruitbasket hat and the headband neko ears. :D

Your proportions are off in this.
The chest isn't bad and the turn of the body is fairly good, a lot of people have trouble with that. However the neck is far too wide compared to the head, he's not beefy enough to have had his neck eaten by his torso.
The forearms and hands aren't reading as forshortened, they reading as stubby. I think you need to practice foreshortening some more.
I'm loving the muscling on the legs but his hips and knee are broken. A knee always points in the same direction as the foot, on the near leg his knee is pointing inwards so he should be pigeon-toed on that foot, that he's not? Well either the knee needs to face forward or the foot needs to face the same was as the knee. The knee couldn't turn at that angle anyway with the position of the hips. I can do it but that's because I'm hypermobile and even I couldn't pull of the entirety of this post, those are not in the normal range of motion for the hip. The far hip has the same issue, the pelvis and near foot should be turned further away from us for the hips to actually work. In other words, we should see far more rump. ;)
Also on the far foot? Yeah, the top of the foot should meet the ankle further up, the foot turned away is actually surprisingly sharpish in angle.
The facial proportions aren't too bad but he could do with more of a chin. Other than that I just want to say I applaud you for tackling something like this.

Augh, that's my achilles heel! Believe it or not I have been struggling with this for quite some time, and just when I thought I had conquered the beast something pops up and questions my ability to foreshorten objects properly.
I knew something was up with his pelvic area, but I just couldn't figure out what it was at the time. That analysis actually makes sense, and I can see the gist of what it should be instead.
I should start doing serious foreshortening studies.
