Nice, i like proportions. Although picture looks good it could be even better. Here are some tips (only my hole opinion):

1. Work in higher resolution (4000px x 4000px, 300 DPI). I think this is the reason i can see pixels on your lineart (i.e. crown) :D After image is done just decrease the it's size.

2. Make your lineart better: use different width of lines. You need to have pen with sensitivity for it.

3. In my opinion, your art is a bit too curvy. For example, hand which is holding a cube has weird fingers. Looks like it misses bones. Also we can see too curvy lines on trousers folds around the knees. If it is your style, ignore this.

4. You used only one type of shadows. Picture misses at least hardshadows. Again, maybe it's your style. But i still think hardshadows will make your art looks even better.

5. Use combination of hard and soft shadows (You have used only hard). I highly recommend you to spend 15-30 minutes by reading these tutorials:

Here is also very useful video tutorial about shading but not exactly what i am talking about (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtLZCfwZVcw). Although it has 40 minutes, believe me that it will worth this time.

PS: Thank you for sharing your arts. Keep it up!

Flash max res is 2600 , it cant go higher than that.
i dont use any pen sensitivity. mine works just like a mouse, only one strenght.
i know about the extra darker or brighter shadows thing..sometimes i do them, sometimes i dont...well for my flash artworks atleast. i allways do them for my photoshop ones like in http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/bocodamondo/skyla and http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/bocodamondo/samus

just let you know. i do 2 kind of artwork drawings when it comes to shading. some are colored with Flash like this one, wich do Allways have sharp shading as you can see above.
and others i colore with photoshop like my samus or skyla links above, those have more natural and realistic shading with sharp And soft shading combined

Pretty damn awesome. Only real complaint was that the smile looks kinda unnatural. It looks like you made a normal smile at the wrong angle and just threw it in. Other than that, it's pretty awesome.

bocodamondo responds:

actually, i wanted to make a bit more different smile than usually...kinda like avatar/legend of korra art style, obviously it failed ^^

I'd give it 3* for the figure.

I'd imagine you getting marked down since the face can be prettier and the colors could be more vibrant.

bocodamondo responds:

i agree on the face. i really had trouble getting it right
