Looks great so far.  Very nice rendering.

For print reasons, be careful of those shadow tones and hot spots.
Up under the cap in the face and the hot spots on the side of face and arm.

They can fill in quick and the hot spots can lose highlight dots easily.

When rendering, I like to squint my eyes every now and then. It seems to help me pick up on those areas.

Just some thoughts from the outside looking in.  I know after a while of being so deep into a job it's good to get some fresh eyes on it.

Thanks man. I understand how tones can grow... what a pain it can be! I've dialed most of my clients in to their press. 20+ years of separating gets you a good idea of what's gonna happen. I love having you guys look it over. Your critique means a lot!

I also squint.... or walk away for 10 minutes. It can make all the difference in the world.

Interesting. Do you have one of those 3d people modelers were you pu them in different poses or are you buying them online? What resolution do they come in?

I often thought that would be the next wave for artist to sell art elements to be put into the design at whatever pose you need.

If you can, try to move that right baud down further, to touch the bottom of the seat or build something to connect the two so it looks more natural as if bracing on that item. Everything else is good.
