Maximum cuteness Megaman.
 
That's just the Orgone energy escaping the top of his head, if he was wearing an energy dome it would be recirculated and he'd probably feel a lot better, but only if properly suspended above the cranium.
 
Here's a page I did of Jack Kirby's Forever People and Infinity Man.  Probably confusing as hell to people unfamiliar with the group, but basically they yell a magic word and are dimensionally displaced to bring a superhero to the scene.  Think Captain Marvel/Shazam! but weirder and from space.

Not sure whats next with this, if I should add something for a foreground? A ufo in the sky? Should the colors on the bottom 3rd mirror the sky instead of almost going with the sky? (Camera wasn't too forgiving, the first detail is pretty close tho):

^ that looks really cool, Rogue!  Honestly, I think it may look best left as you have it. It's a pretty lovely minimal composition.
 
Great work on his face! You ever try doing a superman portrait?
 
I find that a lot of my drawings of characters and people end up as portraits, I never realize just how big I've drawn them.
 
^ Sounds like you need to investigate 'blocking things out'. Basically lightly drawing a rectangle where you want the figure to be and fitting the character inside it then erase the rectangle. I make that mistake too and its always when I forget to block things in (I think thats what its called) and I'll have to erase it all and start over. DON'T BE AFRAiD TO ERASE AND START OVER. "fear is the mind killer".

I actually never thought of that! Definitely going to try blocking things out in a picture when I get home.

I used gray ink on his face before adding black ink, I think I'll have to do that again.
 
Found a copy of this at a thrift store for 4 bucks, soon to go somewhere in my hall where all the medieval/fantasy/map stuff goes, tho this is the first picture going in there that isn't my own work which makes me feel a bit lazy.

Once.  It didn't turn out so good.  I'll probably try again before too long.
