Wesley burt inspired value study

I really like the works of Wesley burt and I wanted to try his work-method. Painting in values and adding colour overlays later on. Not nearly as good as him off course but it was a good exercise nevertheless.
The character itself is kinda uninspired, random cool looking bloke.

Starcraft Spacemarine

I am jumping on the starcraft bandwagon, a little late I know :).  But like they say better late than never.
This is more of a character style test for a larger illustration. I tend do do a lot of characters without background, so I am forcing myself to do full blown illustrations nowadays.  One of the side-effects of this new way of working is that it takes a lot longer for me to post anything, so that's why I decided to post this little teaser.
