Stumped

The title of this post is just for the pun of it. As you can see, the mesh is coming along alright. Some areas need better defining, like the pectoral muscles (they look awful square, don't they?). What you can't see here is that the shoulders have geometry that comes off the pecs, just like actual musculature. College wasn't completely pointless, after all!

I was worried about the neck, since it was so high-poly that it wouldn't fit on the lower-poly body, but fortunately it looks fine, even with a few of the lines merging together right at the base of the neck.

One thing that always bothers me when modeling is the proportions, and if I should follow the drawing or use my intuition to make it look right. The legs were a lot fatter before I toyed with them to get them to look more like the drawing, but then it might seem like he's got toothpick ankles once I get the feet in there. Hopefully they won't be too short, either.

The loosen shirt he wears will be an issue, though. I'm still deciding how to include it on the mesh. Those detached sleeves won't be too much trouble if I plan it right.
