Also i'd consider breaking up the mass shapes abit more. As it is it looks like it's on a flat backing, like green pudding on a plate. I'd have a go at blocking out volumes again in layers so you can get a more 3 dimentional image.

If any of that makes sense. xD;;

Goodluck i love pattern dither when it turns out well but i've allways been scared to try it. So goodluck!

EDIT: I figured i probably wasn't very clear. So i did a quick and dirty (painted with a mouse in ms paint) edit to show what i meant about layering the clumps to give it a more 3D look.



You could certainly use this in a more cartoony style such as what you have going on, just needs some more depth!

Taking an edit as your own defeats the whole purpose of someone doing an edit. I know one of the mods wrote a very good post about this sometime. But anyways the point of an edit is for you to see how others would approach it and then learn from their example by trying to apply similar principles yourself. Taking it you learn nothing.

I have no issues with people building on what i've done, but that's a colab not an edit and it doesn't help you improve. It's not really about this artwork being the best it can be, if that's what you want someone else could finish it for you. But for you to learn the skills to make it the best you can and for you to be the best you can be.

That you don't recognise this shows pretty clearly, you've missed what i see as the whole point of this forum. (self improvement that is)

You have alot of great texture going on, but no real volume. Everything looks sorta flat and lumpy. You really need to figure out your light source and get some good volume going before you go texture crazy.

Also my try at the face, mine's an edit of dpixel's.

Your response to critique does not engender me to want to give you any. If your looking for platitudes of how awsome it is you've come to the wrong place.

Adcrusher did an excelent edit that i think fixes many of your issues. A better approach from that looks too hard i can't do that, would be to try to take on some of his advice whilst keeping it simple so you have ease of animation. We want you to be the best you can be and to do that you need ot try. 

This has alot of potential and you should try to realise that.

It's really jaggy, especially on the sheild. This would benifit greatly from some attention payed to aa. It may add a colour or two but would be really worth it imo.
