perhaps try some hue shifting.
Um i think for the whole community totem pole thing he has to use a predefined palette amirite?

A few things bother me.
-It looks like hes stabbing through his cape with that dagger.
-anatomy is off, imo i would make the legs longer and the head less wide. It may also be too big but im not quite sure.
He also seems to be missing a muscle group in between his right arm and his pecs. With his arm in that position i think this would be visable.
yes you should finish it, keep it up.
