no extreme likeness but im pretty satisfied. it was also a experiment for me as ive never done such a big(and detailed) picture in just two colors.
-
No images. :-\
EDIT
I refreshed it and one showed up, but not the reference. I suggest you get rid of the red, its a bit intense.
-
just right click and choose show picture a couple of times and itl show up(it did for me)
well the red was by request by my friend. i cant understand why he wanted those colors but still, he did.

I'm not using Explorer (which sucks thoroughly). I have no view image button, so I can't really crit this.
-
strange that you say that explorer sucks when its you non explorer users who cant see the images :/
well, il try to upload the pictures to a better host tomorrow.

The red is a strange choice indeed, and I wonder if red&black would help instead of light and dark reds.
The main thing that bugs me though, is the hat. It bulges out too much in the top left, and is a bit too steeply angled in on the top right. Also the eyes aren't quite right, at the moment they seem a bit too rounded, giving him a puzzled and a 'I'm a bit stupid', kind of expression - compared to the more coy glance over the shoulder.
Actually, on second thought, it may not be the hat, and might be the angle his head meets it - whichever it is, they don't quite line up properly.
Certainly a lot of dithering there, but the style works well.
