Greetings

I would suggest to try dithering the shades and AA the eye and mouth, I made a small edit to show what I mean:

Actually, dithering makes it look a bit rough, which is why i didnt dither(plus i suck at it XP, and i tried to go for that smooth looking look). Thanks for replying tho! ::)

personally i dislike dithering. unless its svens, because he just makes it look like sex on toast. its not that im bad at it though, i think its mostly because i just dont like how it looks most of the time.

reminds me of the grudge. I don't really like the dithering either, perhaps AAing all the shades will look good

That's not AA that you added. That's pillow shading, and a big no-no at that.
Seal, I noticed that you put AA/Selout around the face, but it's really too dark to make much difference, especially with three shades that are all so similar. I also see some "AA" around the eye, but the colour you're using to for the AA is way too light.

ok, I didn't AA all of the shades, but I did do two and the mouth and eyes. I'm not very good at AA, but I'm just trying to show how I would do it.
