Thank you.

great job with coloring and texture

@ Zizka

Haha, now that you mentioned it, there is some striking resemblance.

Thank you very much for the nice words. I try my best. :)

@ vimmel

Cheers for the input. Glad you like it a bit more now. :)

@ Carnivac

Thanks! That means a lot coming from a pro like you.

I thought this was Vimmel's avatar! Improving faster than the speed of light. 

Love it! Looks like a big moon in the background now, schweet :)

Looking back through your gallery, you started off well and you've gotten much better since.  Very nice use of colour.

@ TheKasparrr

Thank you very much.

I always try to incorporate as many 45° lines as possible to give my work a sharp and clean look... it doesn't always work though. :P

@ vimmel

Cheers for the nice words!

I hope the backround is better now.

Thanks a lot Pumpkin! :)

I replaced the white.

I like thw hole piece, form the character design to unusual pick of colors. Outstanding improvement. :) Though I still can see plenty of 45 degrees lines but they make a very good pose for the character. :]

Really awesome character and colors!  Great face :)

Im with FrostPumkin on that one, I think the background could make the character pop alot more if its a bit darker.

Peace!

Very nice piece !

I'm not sure about the white background tho, the character looks very dark in comparison

Thanks a ton, mate! :)

Great peice mandrill!

@ nedink

Wow, that is an awesome compliment; making me feel good!

Thank you very much :)

@ Marina

Thank you very much, Marina.

The work you've done on Octopus City Blues is amazing, and I really enjoy your youtube stuff.

@ moondrome

Thanks. :)

I feel that a brighter backround makes things look cleaner and easier to read.

Amazing, you always have this awesome palette where there is a nice gradient and then a few colors of different hues used strategically in the piece to add some nice flavor, envious of the skill

I love it, you did a good job. And i also love the palette xD

looks great but that  white/green background is too bright in my opinion 

@ bob

Cheers for the input, chap! I reworked his hand and added some shadows. I'll redo his forearm later.

Hehe, I'm glad you like the rest. :)

@ rhl

Thanks a bunch!

I dig the stylised anatomy, althrough I'm not sure about the staff holding hand and forearm.

And the colors, of course

Also the composition is very simple and strong, I like that sort of stuff.

Freakin gorgeous, amazing piece as always!

Thanks!

I didn't want to add another colour just for the AA of that green. I aimed for a 10 - 13 colour plaette.

Nice work, but why didn't you AA the green circle?
