This is looking really good. I like the subdued shading. Also like the face design, and the posture is nice.

You seem to be doing ok on the folding department, some aren't too accurate (mainly jacket on the torso) but they work well.

Design wise, i suggest giving his (under)shirt one of them currently fashionable big-ass bold designs and color schemes, like a golden dragon on black shirt, or some purple abstract lettering/graphics over dark magenta shirt's fabric, or something of the sort.

Maybe also add some accessories, like necklaces, waist chains, etc. All within your fashion preferences of course :)

For the pants, you could take a look at current designs: designers are adding crazy things to pants, from slightly changing the cut to adding pockets with weird shapes, mixing different materials, adding rips, etc etc... Also, you could add some wear marks/highlights of a blue towards yellow/green tint, would look really nice :)

misc - I'm not sure if dithering would work. but thanks.

fawel - i've been working on the palette for a while, but I don't know how to unify it all well...so yeah. gonna have to tweak that color more  :-\

faceless - done. better?

turbo - hmm, accessories, maybe that could work. I'll add something later if needed. but first, getting the dang shading and colors down... D:



so yeah. I dunno. yea, I know the outlines are contrasting in brightness, I'll fix that up

If the right (ours) hand is in a similar position as the left - hence the same length - then you need to portray the bending better as it reads pretty straight right now. Yell if you want edit. His chest is pretty skinny for his arms too. Or his arms too beefy for his chest, choose.

The folds aren't very realistic. You need to work on that. I might give you an edit if I find the time...

I think you should have gone the other direction with Helm's suggestion.
His legs look massive now, and his jacket doesn't really suit his new frame.
