Hello

I finally scraped enough courage together to actually post this. It's an idea for a christmas card I had in mind. Comments are very welcomed, but please be gentle as this is the first thing I seriously tried.

Thank you for your input.

   Funny thing is, the background took me only a couple of minutes while I spend several days on the dithering and stuff. Can anyone provide me with any helpful points of improvement?

On the bomb, you haven't dithered the 2 lightest greys. It stands out the most on the bomb.

Like Shark said, the background is awesome!

Thanks. The two lightest greys werent dithered out of style considerations, I thought it would look more 'shiny' that way. But I fixed it and I gotta agree it looks better dithered all the way.



Are there any other comments or is this just too dull to comment on?

i personally like the dithered lines around the edge. very stylistic. i think the bomb needs some sort of shine down the side, cuz it looks like it's made of rubber.

the goblin's chest looks very flat and is not anatomically correct. if you look at pictures of men, you can see a collar-bone in the place where you have placed [boobs].

i like the face, but i would like to see a bit more contrast under the eyes of the character to emphasize that he has these massive eyebrows.
