Update, first post. Basically, I upped the contrast, added more highlights, and did some AA fixing. Thanks for the replies, guys.
Sohashu: Done...ish. Dunno if I upped it enough, as he still seems a tad muddy in places, but... Better, worse?
Zach: I think the new highlights might add to the general robosexuality. I may be wrong
Akzidenz: I'm going to play around with the background, see what comes of it. I didn't change anything here, cause I didn't want to add anymore colours or mess with the outlines/AA too much, but I can only imagine the future holds many wonders... or something.
Filax: That edit is fantastic; many thanks for taking the time, putting in the effort on it (really helped highlight some of the problem areas in the original). I didn't alter the colours as much as you did, but I see what you were getting at (and I can only hope I addressed it). As for the sketchy AA and the lack of colour use, I think it has to do with the fact that I was doing this at work. When it was time to go home, I just stopped pixelling, kinda forgot about it, then just... posted it as it was later last night. I worked it some more, and I think I took care of a lot of sloppiness in the update. There is, undoubtedly, much more sloppiness to take care of.
Sharprm: Thanks. By shifting the smoke, do you mean making it, like, blow towards the left? If so, I'll fiddle with it, see if I can implement it in a later update.
Halu: Contrast: in.
Skull: Many thankses.
Again, guys,Thanks much for all the comments, crits. More, please, so I can give this little guy more sexy.
