The shading of this sprite is wonderful. It has a clean Stoven touch to it. However, problems with the previous piece, I believe, were still evident:...le sigh, yeah, anatomy issues..we all hate hearin' it, so I'll keep it short...
His right foot looked like it was snapped around at the shin, from angle his knee was giving. His feet seemed kind of small compared to his natural proportions, as well as his neck being pretty thick, or his shoulders not being broad enough. Elongated his arms, also. And yes, men need some breathing room...down there. From the looks of things, his poor balls were being suffocated by his evil pants. I kinda gave them some breathing room. Also, the hat seems off for some reason.
Sorry if I killed your style, as yours is much more cleaner than mine. I'm tired...Ga' night, and Ga' luck at the compo'. I'm sure with your current skill level, you'll definitely nab a top spot!
