I feared the black to be too prominent in the throat, but I wanted to keep the black outline and didn't want to add another color. Didn't feel like dithering either, so I just stuck with it as is.
Sweet shading - although I agree with big brother: The white outline creates some "unbalance" on the back. Either add some more white somethings like rays or stripes(short ones of course) or go without the white outline...
I like it a lot. I love the expression, the speech bubble, the white rays. Try another background. something that goes well with red, I dunno. I think the black outlines work, but a very dark pink could be better.
I like it, although i don't understand what is it =x I love the colors, but you could avoid using black outlines, and use for example a darker pink i guess... Nice job anyway
