Starting block 2 - step IV... getting close to the finish line... and sweating bullets!

Another pass will be needed to tie loose ends on the figure (increase contrast from black to white, introduce slightly more red in the skin tone, implement corrections where needed). Also blending part of the figure with the abstract background would help integrate everything better.

I wanted this guy to have muscles at places where people don't have places! This is a 30 X 30 canvas... and it made me sweat!
