It looks too much bright to me. You got some low contrast colors.

Thanks, i used brown instead of that purple.
And i made black to a transparent color.
It might be Ready now. But maybe a shadow?
Or was that black as a background better?

Thank you, i actually would'nt have come to this.
That would change my randomly picked colours,
but i think a tweak would do good.
Since i was focused on working something out of those random colours,
i thought you were talking about that line.

Could use help figuring out what to do with the background (if it needs one), how to color the leaf, and if there is anything wrong with the ladybug itself. I still have 2 colors to spare!
And now for something completely different...

Any great suggestions for improvement or should I just call this finished?

Drawing apples while the theme is Microsoft did not seem so funny after all, I should have joined the ladybug fad!

Here's my WIP. Trying to get the scale right so it looks like the goron is normal sized. I feel like the colors might need work as well.

>> 

you should definitely get the sketchpad out and do perspective studies, this is a tricky angle. you should remember that normal proportions no longer matter, you gotta treat him like a sky scraper.

as far as the challenge goes though, I gotta say the emphasis is on the largeness of the goron. maybe if the blades of grass were larger it'd let the viewer know that link is really small.

@Nevercreature - That's a leap and a half from your last piece. That is looking outstanding!

I like the idea, but I think it's lacking somewhere. Criticism would be awesome. n_n

@ultimaodin - you drew head and body separately and that is the main problem, IMO. It doesn't have a flow. The legs (especially front) look odd. Here is a quick edit:

I quick whipped up this wip tonight. I know I won't have time to polish it up for a submission, though... Ah, well, it was nice to give the first stages of it a shot :)
