thanks a lot for the reply wexx.

I know what you mean and now that you mention it I realized that I pillow shaded =[. I guess its that since working with such a small sprite I try to accomodate for folds in his shirt (around the armpits and waist) too much.

I've made an edit trying to address what you mentioned.



I know that the chest and stomach stick out further than the other parts of your middle body so I tried to make them brightest(i also used white in the highlights and adjusted the contrast a tiny bit). I cast a shadow directly under the chin and also a bit on the tops of the shoulders, but to me it looks pillow shaded worse (although it does look a tad better zoomed out). I tried to shade a little around the waist area to make the stomach stick out a bit more. I also tried editing the hair, but I don't think i'm having much luck =/.

I don't quite understand how to fix these problems. Is there any way you could do a quick edit to help me out and point out what I did wrong?

Thanks a bunch!
