It is very stylized, but I like it a lot. You don't look too happy though :( Why not?

cool stuff.

plus: i like this shirt ... a stormtrooper right?

one lil' crit:
the elbow looks a little weird ... too much pointing outwards

[Dw_Tech_804]

indeed it is a stormtrooper. one of my friends has been drawing me with that shirt for years and it doesn't even exist. i drew that sketch looking sad because...well, i don't have that cool shirt. my clever plan worked, tho! he made me that shirt for christmas!!! thanks, joey!

I agree about the elbow, but that's the only thing I see that's 'off'.
Also the shirt has much more dramatic shading then the face, its just an issue of balance. I really like your linework and style, good use of crosshatching.

well the picture started out fine but then degraded into unhappiness as he saw how the ball point pen reproduced, had to go back and change the emotion.

Hehe, Im hoping its a caricature. Luv that shirt.
