hehe, tyrone is one of my favorite characters, way to go. The face is a little crazy lookin' but so far so good. It adheres to all the specs so far, too. You really ought to sketch out the whole thing before you go polishing just part of it. I always get myself into trouble when I forget to do that; causes back-tracking.  You may already have a full sketch. Which dialogue option are you using?

"I have lost my crystals, will you find them and bring them to me?"

Love the shading, though there are some inconsistences. Try and relate the pose to what he is asking, it looks more like he's giving you the time.

hehe, so he's looking for his "crystal" eh, shoulda known. I agree about the pose; it's very nondescript. He should be doing something closer to begging perhaps.

Just to clarify, the PJ challenge states that the expression must adhere to all 3 dialogues, not just 1 that you choose. It seems to work decently for all of them, though, anyways, so keep up the good work. Like the soft look of the cap.
