Oh, you guys... I thought you'd be able to figure out that i based the creature type on the aluminium beverage can!
I didn't say a word because i was under the impression that the can opener feet and the Pocari Sweat "skin" would be a dead enough giveaway for you guys to figure out. Oh well.
Jakten: Sorry about the readability issues. I tried pretty hard to make it discernable as he's holding the cane between his thumb and his index finger. I did that because i wanted to try a hand pose that's a lot more different than just the clenched-fist grip which i've seen in quite a number of drawn pictures. As for the coloring problem, the big issue that my habit of randomly picking colors is often hit and miss, because sometimes i'd get compliments, and other times i'd get people pointing out that the colors are too dark, too bright, not saturated enough, etc. Not that i blame them, of course.
I think the problem with this piece is that you've got a very deliberate, almost automatic shading style going on that doesn't really reflect the forms it should be representing. In particular you've drawn a line with your darker colour along EVERY outline for no apparent reason. The pleat down the center of his pants, for example, why is there shading to one side of that line? That line could be either JUST black (you can have black outlines without a line of shading along them!) or just the dark green colour.
I completely forgot that unwritten rule. I thought that by shading the outlines, there would be more depth(?) to things like creases and folds in fabric. I'll keep this note in mind, so big thanks for pointing it out.
