I'm not really digging that static jump animation, or the pillow shading on his forehead/ chin. However, that's not going to stop me from lovin the overall design, which I do. It's charming.

Also, dat chin!

The shading done on those wings are delicious.

I like this piece, I really do. I'm also getting some strong nostalgia vibes from it, too. Reminds me of something, though like a lot of things I can't remember..

Fav'd.

Will do, though I usually refine my work overtime, I'll make an exception. I'll have a cleaned up peice by tomorrow. :)

@ptoing: man I hate overlooking things, thanks. I'll correct it after the challenge is over.

Don't wanna get the boot. :)

@Manjaman: Nope, but I can see why you'd think that.

The reasons it being unfinished, well there is none. I grew tired of it an wanted to move on, however that won't stop me from coming back to this or my other work to give it a fresh coat of paint. :)

@jal, ah I see.. don't know why I hadn't thought of that. Thanks. XD

Count me in. I don't think it's worth it to upload another avatar so ..I edited my old one so just click on it if ya wanna see the original.

I'll keep hairy up until the 23rd.

I agree with ya Ergg. The gags probably been done to death, but as far as this weeks challenge go I know it hasn't been done ...yet. :)

@Edjr; changed the old mans dialogue, though at the time it did sound funny. Hmm since there's time left I might as well tinker with it some more.

Yeah I agree it could've been 10x better, sadly I'd just end up making another excuse not to finish it..  Though I don't mind suggestions. Now about the swing; it just did't fit right after I had trimmed the tree, but believe it or not I'm using that particular scene on a new peice.

Also I went ahead an cleaned up some jags here & there and made a few minor touch ups.

Dodging what? If I want guidance I would have posted something up in the forum. Look I'm just trying new things, whether their "broken" or not "I" see an improvement. I don't think it is a step forward but I honestly don't believe its a step back either. I'll fix the "broken" bits and delete this awful peice then repost it when it is finished. You're right about everything though, it does need work.

Oh an no need to bring my new account into this discussion.. KORCHA was my original alias, the same name I now use on DA and imageshack. There was no need to bring it in to question.. I just felt it needed to be changed. Case closed. :)

Hmm, lets just drop the subject for now, this is not the place for them.

Regarding you're improvement remark; were did I say I made significant improvements, I fixed it enough to were I'm "OK" with it to post it here, well maybe I should'nt have. Anyway I'll fix my mistakes as I improve, so I'll delete this and repost when it is up to standards. OK?

I agree the original does look better.

Reason being; I didn't like it, so I made some changes.I'll probably even mess with it again just to get the pose right.. Trial & error, I suppose.

Color choice; I like dark colours (don't ask), and anatomy, while it may be flawed I'm proud I made it this far.

Actually it is not, its from an old peice I keep updating which you can find here:

My old name was Solid Pixel, if you look at my old profile (Full Name) it even says I am now under the alias KORCHA. No reason to assume the unnecessary..  :)
