My edit, cause I think a picture works > words. I hope I didn't botch it too much.

To be honest, and don't take this personally draco, but that edit doesn't help at all.  You just made it washed out and lost a lot of the volume/definition of the original.

Zee, i think you could do with a couple of buffer shades, especially on the shirt, but the current contrast works quite well.  The npants are good, however i think the feet are a bit messed up.  Draco's edit did a good job on the feet, so i'm sure you can look at that.  I think you could add a highlight shade to the hair, perhaps even re-use one from the shirt logo, to add more volume.

Keep working on it!  ;D

by no means am i trying to discourage your efforts, all help is appreciated on the forums - however i felt that the edit didn't particularly help this piece and it would be worse for zee to edit under influences that may actually "harm" the piece.  Your time/effort is appreciated, but in my opinion i didn't think it helped...

Some edits. Not really my style, so I'm sort of improvising on the ideas...
The first version looked much better than that last one.

Oh, and Draco's edit is really bad, don't pay attention to it...

Oh, gee, thanks.  :D Yeah, I kinda agree, maybe it was the background I was working against.



It's looking better Zee, keep it up. I still don't like the pallete though,it looks brown and dirty...
