	It looks pillow-shaded on the main bit/body. :/

	Define your lightsource, you have several at the moment. The dithering adds unnecessary texture, ditch it.

	Easy there chief, you don't need to go addin' all sorts of new colors for AA that you don't need, you just need to utilize the palette a bit better. You're using a few too many colors as is, tbh. There are two greens in there that are way too close in value to justify using both. The inconsistent outline is also a bit bothersome, here's a partial edit I made on the fly, it should illustrate a few points that I don't feel like explaining: mine yours

	Dunno man... it seems weird, even the edits. Look at it... light source of monster body cames from right-front, but stick and monster leaves's lightsource comes from up... That is just strange ._. I guess even monsters proyects shadows... this shadow is not reflected on the stick. The design is cool, but it has a lot of basic mistakes. Edited by Aurial - 14 August 2008 at 1:21pm

	I didn't edit the leaves or the stick, just the monster's body. But that is a good point, make sure to have a consistent light source and believable shadows in the final product.
