winter deer against wolfs... (wip)

[ui]

Hi, well im posting here because i need some help, im doing a cover art for a winter chiptunes collection, that will be start soon, on a chiptunes website. Anyway, here is the idea at first...
Here is the WIP (update 01-23-09)

The idea is have a "Robo-deer" controlled by a guy with a joystick. "He" have to be careful about the wolf out there. It will have a little tittle who said.... WINTER CHIP IV, or something like that

Well, so i need ideas and critics of HOW to solution some of the problems i have...
First thing... im really bad with the colors, i always use bright colors, and sometimes they all together sux...
Second thing. I wanna keep the LOW numbers of colors and not have like 64 colors of something...
Other thing are the shadows and texture, dont know if they are really good or not.

Things i already have in mind...
AA in everywhere (there are a lot of part without AA)
Shadows need a lot of work, because i dont have much in the composition
The hands and the joystick and obviously the wolf are REALLY CRUDE...
Of course the background need work! ....

i guess there are other things but im sure you guys will know that they are not finished.

Thx for reading...

Awesome, the only things that bother me are the lack of shading on the head and that pinky seems a little off.

McClaneGames, ok, i will take a look, and yeah that deer nose!! XD.... actually im thinking to add 1 more color.

xbogx, well it suppose to be a "robo-deer", or kind of... im not using metal parts yet, but i have that in mind.

I update the picture with few changes i made today.
- The wolf body looks horrible! XD.. i should fix that...
- The trees still need work. Same for the joystick and hand.
