Thanks Decroded, I just saw your picture just now and your message. Sorry it took so long to reply, I honestly didn't see it. The reason why I saw it is because I wanted to update this piece. Next time around, I'll think I'll post my reference first and get some input for it before actually starting on the wrong bases. I like your picture, if I had seen it before, I would have picked it.
So I finally took the time to work on this some more, after scrutinizing both the edit (by parkerbaby) and the reference picture.
Here are the changes I made:
1. Played around with some colours for the face.
2. Made the eyes bigger, as was suggested last time.
3. Made the head shorter and narrower.
4. Made the mouth larger.
5. Made the arms shorter and thinner.
6. Changed the shape and the color of the feet.
7. Changed the shape of the lightning bolt.
8. Reshaped the crystal ball.
9. Resized and modified the fish.
10. Moved the eyebrows
11. Fixed the hands
12. Other minor tweaks.
Here's the result:
And the progress so far:
So, I would appreciate if I could be pointed in the right direction from here. I think the last edit is a great improvement over the 4th (previous) version so I believe I’m going in the right direction. As usual, I’m open to criticism and new suggestions and will put them in application to the best of my abilities.
