Me: Erm I was supposed to be trying to practice forced perspective here... not too sure if I did a good job with it thought... >_< and like the rest of my drawings, it's black and white

This is really good. The perspective has been done well and looks effective. Nice job!

Nice line art. I think the forced perspective does work a bit, but theres something about the sleeve thats putting me off. But anyway.

P.S. It wouldn't be karate. Karate means open-handed. All the hand strikes are with an open hand.

Me: Really? Open handed? Good thing I added a question mark to the title XD

Nice drawing. I'm thinking maybe if the body was turned more into the punch it would give it an even greater effect of a hard, impending hit. But it's still quite scary looking at that fist there. :)

Well, karate does technically mean " open-handed", but most of the styles of Japanese/American/Okinowan do use punches as strikes. I took Tae Kwon Do for a few months, and many of the strikes are with a clenched fist- it's very forced and tough. I now do a style of Chinese kung fu, where 90% of the strikes are with an open hand. Much more effective that way :D

I think you did a pretty cool forced perspective, but what I like best is the inking. Really bold, dramatic, with lots of punch. Adds to the pic.

Me: Actually I never really itended to have much effect with the lines... I just... wanted them thick *sweatdrop*

To Warse-no-Miko

Hmm... I could've sworn karate meant 'empty-handed', not necessarily 'open-handed'... after all, one of the sayings in karate (Shotokan school, anyway) is "I come to you - with empty hands."

There's something a bit wrong with the left sleeve, and the left fist could use some more size to it. Also, it looks like the guy is just holding out his fist, and not really throwing a punch - but then again, this way, it looks like he's holding out his fist as a threat.

The heavy lines look really good, very powerful and really add to the theme. And I must say that I'd love to see this design on a T-shirt. XD

Keep the great stuff coming!
