I am going to make Little Red Riding hood, I already made a thread :D I hope some people help me .

Chaos; I'd think about changing your lightsource to a more encompassing angle so you can handle the value on your body more naturally.  It seems like you're using the light right now to define the form; but you're not being consistent in all parts of the body.  Notice how the back of the arm is in shadows and the tail and back of the leg isn't.  I think introducing a texture in the yellow fins with red is a good idea, but it needs to feel less deliberate.  All the striations in the tail have three pixels of red, and the rest of the limbs have two, in the same places.  Play around with some more random arrangements until you find one that works.

I'd also think about reconsidering where in the picture your figure is sitting; as it is you have a lot of plain, blue space that isn't helping him occupy space, just sit on top of a field.  I'd also reconsider the color choices used for the bubble.

Hey, thanks Fenne! 
Here's another step...

i dunno jin... there's something weird about the pic. It looks amazing. But, maybe you should change the angle of his hand holding the hag?


And here's mine... has loads of work yet, but I'm getting somewhere...



it's gonna be animated.


BTW BTW... I really love that castle hidden behind them :)


[edit]
