Here's an edit fixing the massive problems with the lineart:



Could still bear a good touching-up before and during coloring.

Personally i think it's an extremely boring shape for something so large. Either add some jazz to it, or make it 10x smaller. Also, make sure you look at your references carefully..  :y:

Well, Jalapeņos are pretty boring. Some of them are kinda bumpy, but that's really left until the shading stage. But yeah, it'd make a better 21x48 IMO. Very small.

Me, too, but there was a point with it. The original looks more like a stubby pepperoni. Jalapeņo usually aren't curved. They're a very boring thing to draw... I guess they could be curvy, but again, then it looks more like some other type of hot thing, and not like a jalapeņo...

Jalapenos (can't be arsed to make a ~n here) are not that even, they are ever so slighly bumpy. Plus they are quite shiny.
Also for something like this, why do you even need lineart. Just block in colours after or while looking at reference.

Just made this in about 5 minutes, picking colours as I went. From here colours could be refined and the whole thing could be polished, as in aa and such.
There are no ugly colours, only ugly combinations of colours.

Shine-wise, there's a certain sexiness in the unrefined form actually. It makes me think of sweet jalapeņos (yay for ņ) as they should :]

Great edit, you! <3
