I like this, but am I looking at a sad person or a sweaty one?

 I never, ever said that before. ;)

I always respond positively to criticism, and I also always look at it with heart and tend to improve on my art by it. That, during all my years as an artist, was the first time I ever said it was a stylistic choice. So, no, i'm not using it as a keg, it really is a stylistic choice - just that it isn't matured enough for it to be something positive and noticeable - if it seems like a mistake, I must work harder to correct this. So, this is an "immature" stylistic choice. (in a sense that I must work on it so that it stops looking like a mistake, and starts actually looking like a stylistic choice.)

Sorry for the rantsy commentary (that's also quite rare), but not only I'm not in a good mood, but I also get a little bit easily frustrated, at times. Please take this positively, as I mean n o ofensiveness in this reply ~ ♥

"A stylistic choice" is what they all say..

 Thank you very much for the protip, though the lack of contrast is more of a stylistic choice. ~ ♥

A nice character design, though I think that maybe some darker use of contrast would make certain parts on the character stand out a little more.

Nice hair! =)
