What exactly... Is it? :o I mean is it supposed to be a realistic human, or...?
Regardless, maybe consider working with more than one ramp? I'm as hardcore about color conservation as anyone, but it's going to look like a plastic figurine or something is it's all green. ------------- |

Maybe play around with different approaches of the specular light on the visor, making it more like the reflected light on the other parts (roundish and not long) and see if that makes the lighting feel more right. Or if seen from the top, the visor is shaped circular, maybe the stripes of reflected light on it should run straight down, instead of diagonally... but I don't know for sure, you'd have to try that to see whether it's better. ------------- http://www.dennisbusch.de/index.php - 0xDB | https://twitter.com/dennisbusch_de - twitter |

I'm don't like those color breaks (blue/green/blue/green) as they don't seem to serve any purpose, but I think that new lighting on the visor looks way better than before. Nice improvement. ------------- http://www.dennisbusch.de/index.php - 0xDB | https://twitter.com/dennisbusch_de - twitter |

I just wasn't sure if you were going for realistic anatomy or something cartoony or what. Anyhow, it looks like the left (our left) shoulder and part of the arm should be obscured by his body. And, if you're going for anything realistic, shoulders should be way broader and the head should be way smaller. ------------- |

I'm not a big fan of that messy lineart. Either giving the desired shapes a revision, or a complete overhaul would fix them. In my honest Opinion. ------------- I ate leel's babies |
