thanks for the comments fellas
i'll definitely try out some different leg sizes. about the person, though, i just wanted him to be a bully who's a little more mature than the rest of his classmates...like he got held back or something.
also helm, i see what you mean. while i was doing the aa, something kept telling me this looked wrong, but right at the same time. my color choices were picked as i went through the piece from head to toe. i've never really had a method for colors and if you check my recent threads, that always seems to be my problem. i know my basic color theory but i can't apply it. my eyes are usually drawn to chalky colors too, but i can't even pick out a good set of those. it's something i really gotta practice, i suppose.
i remember tremulant telling me that shades go towards blue, and highlights towards yellow. i try to apply that as much as i can.
thanks again for the c&c, i'll update as soon as i can
