I think this is pretty good, even if it is traced. My only problems with it is that the texture on the lips makes them look kinda crusty - I'd smooth them out, and the hand is kind of messed-up looking. Maybe soften the edges on the hand and the fingers? the engular lines on the finger nearest to us let the whole piece down, imho.
Looks pretty much traced. I mean... it's nice I guess.. but tracing is not at all impressive. You could've done so much better with it. Some AA wouldn't hurt..
