Darker creases, evening out the balance of highlights of each leg compared to one another, pockets. Just some examples of how i would steer it, take away what you will.

Also, I don't really understand why the right side of the body is more highlighted, but the left side of the pants has more of the pinkish highlight... Not really sure about it.

The black outline hurts it.
There are no ugly colours, only ugly combinations of colours.

yes I totally agree I think the black outline is too much, maybe using the 2nd darkest shade would be more appropriate and use the black for picking out darker spots..



looks awesome  ;D

Zach is this for a game or something? If not, you could just go ahead and settle on a background color, and then pixel the 'sprite' normally on top of it (minimal aa and weighted outlines where needed) until it's no longer a sprite, but just a piece of pixel art. I really do agree the black outline could go, but selout - as Terley does above - isn't the only solution.

I don't like the way his < leg seems to just go straight down from his back/side. It's like the pants and belt have no depth and are plastered to his side. It also makes him look extremely topheavy.

this has to be looking somewhat better?

I've started to rid of the black outline and somewhat AA but still have traces of separation from the background
