Description
This is Russia. In a space suit but you can't really tell because he doesn't have his helmet on.Just playing around trying out some new stuff.
I really wanna do something with the Space Age.
That'd be cool.
Fun fact:
Americans use the term astronaut while Russia uses the term cosmonaut.
With astronaut, you have "astro" which derives from the Greek word ástron meaning "star" combined with "naut" which comes from the Greek word nautes meaning sailor. So literally, astronauts are star sailors!
With cosmonaut, you still have nautes but instead of "astro" you have "cosmo" which comes from the Greek term kosmos meaning universe. A universe sailor!
Star sailors and cosmic crusaders......
Very nice.
Enjoy~

Ah! I didn't know about the cosmos coming from Greek! I knew it was a Russian word! (Kosmos, as there's no C in Russian!)
Another factoid: NASA spent millions of dollars into researching a pen that'd work in zero gravity, all the while the Russians were using pencils!

Ah, I love playing around with Latin 
It's probably because of the space suit and the really thick collar, but the neck is a little long. It's a pain in the arse to get the neck to the right length because there is nothing to really base off of but I would suggest looking at some photos to help you out. Also, once you get the neck right the body will become a lot more proportional so I think that once you get that right your pictures will look a lot better 
OH MY GOD! your shading and line work is beautiful in this picture! the lines are really smooth and the shading is really well done, especially the hair. You did amazing and this picture seems finished.
Your really improving, and fast which is great. I can't wait for you to blow me away again with your next amazing piece of art

Thank you for that little tidbit, I actually hadn't known that ^^ and i think it'd be cool if you did something of Russia looking off from like a floating space base or something! ...i'm an idiot ._.
