Here is the mostly finished product, might make a tweak here and there, but nothing too special. Used this piece to try a new style, so if it's not to your liking I apologize.
Seeing I am a poor starving artist though, I do expect to throw in other characters, i.e. Bugg, Brys, maybe janath or hull for the sake of paper. So might be more to come :D

(Please excuse the bad scan, makes everything look like metal statuary... and it auto crops theres more but it'll suffice... )

He's a bit too well dressed for me, but it's good.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

I like it in general [you caught the different eyes, yay :p]

There are just some anatomical issueas that are bothering me. Just in case you'd like to work on that, dunno how serious you take it:
You did a great job on the forearm, but the upper arm is way too short, the ellbow is usually at the height of the waist. The shoulder feels to high for me, since the head doesn't indicate that he's bending down, more like the opposite, he's looking straight or up. Alternatively one could say the neck's too short. And while you're at it, you could work on the lips and chin, which currently wander off in different directions. I'm not saying he should be a dazzling beauty, but that's no way charming, more like, uhm, 'dorkish'.

Ah, well, I like the shadows and the bowl, though :p Seriously, it's not against you, great job, just mentioning what I think could be worked on :D

Good job especially remembering the eyes!
I always pictured Tehol as very grimy and dirty and maybe older looking ?
Dunno, still it's a wicked pic, even if his chin is wonky :D

Now all the friends that you knew in school they used to be so cool, now they just bore you.
Just look at em' now, already pullin' the plow. So quick to take to grain, like some old mule.

Yea I always thought dirty too, but couldn't get it down. I got the rag over his shoulder though (How's that well dressed?? :p I might tear it some more) and around his waist, like I said it was cropped without my control. The chin, ahh well still needs work lol was way off earlier,
For the anatomy, the arm is bent back pretty far, and the elbow really comes down to about an inch above the waist (just bad cropping), the hand actually comes below his waist, its position, pose, and bowl just make it seem higher. Hehe I used my shoulders for reference, that might be why, still if he is well built it isn't out of the question, but an easy fix. He is looking up and outward, kinda in a "innocent" scheming manner, he's just got the bowl in his hand for the joke/I think I might have Bugg serving the dish (Pouring from a slotted ladel or something) (For the artist, I am trying to move away from my old smudging ways so this is kinda step one :D)

This is good work!

I agree with Puck, she makes some excellent points. I would also watch the size of his eyes and the placements of his pecks...they seem a bit off.

other than that, great work on the shading and I like his expression:)

he looks a little too indulgent, maybe narrow his eyes to make him look more sneaky, right now he looks like jesus or something lol.

incredible shading technique but a few things aren't centered

(not being mean i just want to help)
Being optimistic's worthless if it means ignoring the suffering of the world. Worse than worthless. It's bloody evil. And being pessimistic, well, that's just
the first step on the path, and it's a path that might take you down Hood's road, or it takes you to a place where you can settle into doing what you can,
hold fast in your fight against the suffering. And that's an honest place, Cuttle.

Well, he makes a show out of looking innocent, doesn't he?
