Hey, been almost a month since posting( been working on it though, life and forgetting to upadte just getting in the way ).
anyway i finished up to portrait for now and started soing the final concept. when i got a reply on the concept art version from "rapxic". on this thread saying:
"pretty cool i like number 23

but in all fairness wouldn't all that clothing make him hot, i suggest ya give him a khaki pants, lose the boot straps give him a tite shirt without sleeves to show off the cyber arm, probably give him a futuristic night vision goggles to go with the stealth manner also give him a drone 
so he can send it in to scan inside of a house he's robbing or to alert him if there's anyone following.

as for the bags i think they might be outdated if you're going for futuristic, either design the bag to look or have a sense of the future.

and yes that mouth needs to be covered then again if he's a fast thief and strategic thief maybe he shouldn't.

number 19 in your black silhouette is very strong.

right now the guy you portraying looks like an ordinary dude who likes ninja stuff,probably lives in a cold place and goes to school, you need to show he's really from the future and you have to ask yourself how would his urban community be like so you can draft out elements to show that.also you can show him stealling something or about to.

take a look at Cable from xmen, the first thing that pops up is futuristic compared to someone like beast.

apart from that nice work.

 i looked at the design i did kinda realized that aside from the arm his clothes don't look very different from what i might see on the street now( except maybe the split toed shoes and the leg wraps).  i sort of understood what was meant by the difference between cable and beast, but the the issue of making it look more like cable was the skin tight soldier uniform look is something i'm trying to avoid, going for a more civilian clothing look. the other thing is the goggles.i still want to at some degree hide the characters face,  and am too worried that goggles along with hiding his face might de-humanise him/ his head too much.

 it did however give me the idea to look at the moodboard i had made in terms of practical clothing and actions and proportion and look at them.

i looked at them and reliased i picked a lot of now looking images, and perhaps i should have made one or 2 just for the sci fi-ish/ cyberpunk-y clothing.

so thats what i did. i created 2, one for real clothing, that exists that struck me as somewhat futuristic, and one for fictional attire from games, anime, random drawing on the net etc.

 i also decided to to type out a few buzz words that struck when i saw these clothing and see how many images they correlated to .

  with that i started a second iteration from these, with more look into making the character's attire look more fictional/ futuristic, and work on outfits, with more focus on showing off the arm more.
