very nice, the legs are a bit out of proportion to the body, but other than that good job! -ollie -------------  |

Hm, I think it looks pretty good that the legs are smaller, it sorta gives it a cool look. Very nice work, Sedgemonkey! ------------- |

Right away I loved the short legs. Really gives his upper body that biff feel. Great piece. One crit though. His mouth kinda of looks like a french moustache, I think if you thickened that black line or pronounced the lips more it wouldn't look so moustache-ish. |

| Yeah, I see whatcha mean. I think extending the wrinkles on the cheek might help too. |

Brilliant stuff Sedge! Youre artsss skills really shine in the piece. Love it. How could you not tell it was a cartoon?! Just look at that bazooka! The colours are particularly cool, I dont mind letting the pallete go crazy when it comes to photoshop, heehe. His expression is also neato - I like the french moustach smile! The only thing I can find distracting is his feet dont look like theyre touching the ground at the same angle, and they almost look impossible to hold in a natural stance, cartoon or not! Lovely otherwise, and I like the non-distracting background aswell. |

Amazing. I love the lighting. The laugh looks a bit awkward, due to more than one curve. Great piece still.

I prefer to just slap on colors using the paint tool at different opacities ranging from 20% to 50%. I use the quick keys "[" and "]" to quickly change the size of the brush. I separate layers for each part of the pic and that's about it for my technique! |

| Learning the shortcut keys to Photoshop and Illustrator and the Macromedia products is well worth it. It takes a lot of time and it's frustrating switching between apps, but you'll be rewarded with supreme efficiency which will save tons of time and effort in the long run. |
