I did not express myself correctly. I did not mean the darkness on the lower leg. I meant the color of the darkest shade used on the outlining areas. It contrasts too much with the rest of the darks. I am on a PC right now and it blends better. On the mac it definetly stands out more
Thanks for the comments. I agree with the pose being a little stiff. I will work on that. as for the bottom of the pants, i made it dark cause its dirty. I tried to throw off a bit of a darkish apocalyptic slug kind of style. somehow like the future in chrono trigger.
The character's pose looks quite stiff to me, mainly due to the legs, they're basically two rectangles stuck next to each other. This is just comparing them to the upper body, a slight bend in the legs or change in shape would fix up the problem.
jalonso is also right bout the lower legs, try to lighten up the colours there.
Maybe its just my monitor. The very dark color on the lower legs are too dark for the rest of the palette. The hand and bulge are too similar in size and looks a little off. Good job otherwise.
