His arms are too short, and if his right leg is up like that(which, for a casual walk, it shouldn't), his right arm should be swinging backward as well.
Check it out.
He looks like he's wearing flippers - his feet lack form and dimension.
I'm not sure what your thoughts behind the armor were (scales?), but right now the texture is looking a bit messy.
Paved roads generally don't come in a burning red hue ::) even if it is metaphorical, you may want to tone it down just a little. Also, generally you want the background a little desaturated to keep the focus on the character.
Avoid circling the hills of grass with shadow. Your light source seems to be from directly above, so why are there shadows above the hills?

Those are a few issues, but I can tell you've been improving. Keep it up :)

Thanks for the critics.. Ugh so many errors but yea
Can you show me how the grass lightning should be? and what tone of red i could use for the path?
Ill try to fix the anatomy although i really suck at it :/

Is the lighting direction better and i fixed the arm..


Worked a bit on grass texture and fixed walking position ???



Is the new legs and new path texture looking better?

The landscape's coming nicely but you need to rework the whole character, i see much pillow shading in it also the legs are kinda too small compared to body.

Really :o I thought there wasn't any pillow shading :o can you point them out pls and ill work on the legs again

that hill looks pretty flat atm and the guy's back foot is at a really weird angle

ANy tips on how i could make the hill not flat :S and yeah :/ i keep having problems with his legs.. ughz


This is also what i plan for the bkg to give a bit of contrast.

With the help of Jalonso im fixing the palette
so far ive changed the first grass and the path..
deff looks much better imo..
just gotta use this method later on for the character and figuring out how to detail it more  :yell:


What do you think of the landscape?
I believe im done with the grass.. now just need to add some more details to it by adding some flowers and log..
then gotta rework on the character, then sky, then the writing
*wowz..

This is a sketch for the clouds.. I know i need to tone it down a bit because the writing will be white with some other color..
(dont even know how im going to write this lol)
but what do you think of the cloud format? First time going deep with clouds detail
however i need some help finding a good palette for the cloud that wont take too much attention from the title of the game.
Btw sorry if im posting too much :) it's something that i certainly want to finish :D



p.s: Lol just to think that i still have to do that in game screen lols
taking so much for the start screen xD hopefully it will be worth overall.
