The (mostly) final version of my WIP of my OC Zeth Gant gambling away. I donno if this cured my lack of being able to draw, but it was fun anyways ^^ I'll see when I get to drawing straight off the top of my head how I'm going before I call myslef healed again ^^;
Anyways- comment copy paste cause there's not alot more to say on this that the WIP didn't...
I based his face a bit around the actor Colin Farrell ( ) and I think I've spent about 10 hours on it now. I'm getting a bit faster at it XD Colin had this WONDERFUL "Oh hai" expression that I just had to keep (He has some great expressions ^^, and most of the 2 hours were deciding what to do with the mouth, since the reference only had the eye expression I liked, but not alot more.
Still not 100% finished cause I'm not happy with the shading.
I'm going to open this for advancd crit though- fire away. Anything you want, specially about the lighting.
Please don't comment however on the chips. I just realised I should push their values around a bit... they don't stand out from eachother much >.>

First off - I think the poker chips are coming along great! Once you up the contrast like you say you're doing anyway, they should be top-notch.
Same with the glass. The shine and texture there looks pretty darned awesome.
For shading - I think one of the things that would help would be the darkern the forehead shadow where the temple would be. This should help meld the darker and lighter aspects of the drawing together, because that area is so centrally located. All in all, I think the shadows on his face could be exaggerated a bit more without losing detail.
The next thing that pulls my attention is his hand. The ball of his hand looks to me to be coming down too low? I've attached a visual critique to explain myself better.
That smoke, though, is to die for. I love how this is looking right now!
