You should drag the hammer for a better effect. I like how his feet are right now. Remember when you walk you bounce up and down very little, when you jog you bounce up and down the most, and when you run you bounce up and down very little. You have his head bounching when you should have has body rotating. I'm at work and only have paint or I would do an edit. But when his hips go up, bend his shoulder/chest down. Then back up when his hips go down. BTW This looks like a jog. I think you should go for a solid color suit as it just looks dirty and unclear. You can't see the arms. Try curving his right arm a bit or his left. Hope this helps.

You highlight everything with no light source. Pick a light source and stick with it. Think about the volumes you are trying to represent as a whole, not individual pieces. Especially the center of the character. The dithering is hideous. At this stage you should take it completely away. With these color choices I don't think you even need any. They are too close in value. I think you should make at least one mouth open. Also, try not to mirror poses, ie the feet. I know it's twice the work but it pays off in the long run. You have what looks like two sets of lips. The green ring around then the tan lips around. I would take away the extra green lip.Overall a nice piece but I think you could make it much better with a bit more time.

I think I prefer the original too. Added some more shading and hair. Adjusted the arm. Has it improved?

It look like a Pokemon now. Not nearly the same effect. I prefer the aligator head. I think the hands need to be redone completely. I can't tell how many fingers he has or which way his wrist is pointed. Also, it's left thigh is looking thin. Can you perhaps make the canvas larger and paint the whole character?

You don't need to just up the contrast on the colors you need to add more contrast of the colors touching. Right now you have 1 color taking up most of the rhino. Most noticeably on his face and shoulder/where the ear is. I suggest taking out the dither and putting more colors that contrast next to each other. IE take a chance to let a really bright color touch a really dark color. Hope this helps.

New style. What do you think? Might up the color count for more shading on the jacket. Any suggestions color wise that I could add/change?

The character is hard to see. Not only is he tiny (which is not a bad thing) but you have him standing behind the grass which hides him even more. Is he wearing a mask? Also, you have black outlines on somethings and not on others. I would try to be more consistent. Post the updates and animation when you can, I want to see where you are going with this.

Thanks for all the replies. I will take all of your suggestions and post back when I have gotten them done. I'm not very confident with my AA skills yet so I will try what you suggested JonathanOfDrain. I will also try dark shades of each color for the outlines, the only thing is I want to keep a max of 16 colors and still have the character visible from the background. (which I haven't started yet as you can tell) Again, thanks for all of the comments.

Haven't had much time with the holidays around. But here's what I have so far.

Trying to keep a minimum of colors and use them throughout the whole scene. Right now just the character. What do you think of my color choices? Any and all crits/edits are welcome. Does his pose look silly?

Thanks
