Good compositional style. Great overall impact!
Palpable flexing!

This is a great entry for this contest. The form is great. The detail on the arms and veins are fantastic. I'm sure it looks even better in person. Great job and the best of luck in the contest Rick!

Oh what power, precision, and quality of presentation in this drawing. It is just dynamite. It has a great shading aspect from the fists in the light and the rest of the arms, shoulders and body receding into the dark background. Don't think I would want to hang this in my living room, but it would be a show stopper in an art gallery window. Reasons for my five star vote.

You have shown the bulging muscles well. The large pic appears a bit blurred. You may have to crop the image properly, sharpen it a bit for better visual appeal Good luck in the contest!

What a great work of art Rick. I work out and it is amazing how much this looks like my forearms (in about five years!)

The detains are wonderfully done and I like the sheen on the skin which further emphasized the musculature and veins.

A great entry for the contest and I wish you all the best in the voting ~ Steve

They are some pumped arms! You are a talented artist!!

Funny boxers are always willing to let their face take a beating, as long as they win the fight.
This reminds me of Micky Rouke for some reasons.
I love it 6 star worthy work.

Comment from Kurt Fondriest
I like the concept and I think you have captured a sense of symbolic strength. I feel though the forearms could be strengthened if it was more anatomical correct. I think the fists are well rendered but as you move downwards to the fore arms the veins become to distracting. I would render the muscular structure first, it is very stylized and it works. Good luck in competition.

A beautiful drawing that makes a perfect entry to this contest. I like the pose and the lack of symmetry in the two forearms. Best of luck in the voting.
