How can I make it look better?

[Toast]

It is a Roman Soldier I have drawn,I added some details like shadows but he still looks a bit weird,as if he had a monkey's face...How can I improve it?

[Ani-x]

bring his chin in some

also some shade on the side will give it a less oval look

[Remiraz]

legs look funny

Is it negative or positive?^^

I think you didn't make it with groups so it will be annoying to change :P
Give him a bit neck and raise the head a bit..
notice that the camera-left hand hand is lower than it should anatomicly be.
He also seems really wide in the lenght between the legs and wide stomach.
But it's good ofcourse -

Positive :D

Erm,you are right,itwould be hard to change... ~_~
Yeah,I will try to change the legs a bit,I yhink the arm is fine,it's just the clothings that are low,he has large clothings.
Thanks for being optimist and positive :D

if you can alter the head, add some neck liek said
also tilty the head down some(if it is a action shot

the legs look fine to me, but you should add some deffantion
action shows mucles, brings out the appearnce of streanth and movment

so the calvs should be more visible, the neck lines should show, and that mucle above the knee should ripple a bit

Its quite good, but his right arm (left for us) sits too low. The right hand is too small, and so is his feet. He also looks a bit fat. But the shield is great, and the shading looks nice too.
For the face you could try to make his nose smaller, and remove the small line on the side (going upwards). And adjust the mouth so that he isn't smiling.

hes pretty good looking. But why is he smiling? Needs more shadeing.

Erm,he isn't smiling.Look very well and you will see that it is just his weird mouth

[Pigsk8s]

hmmm.... dunno, Just keep the things you like best, then retry the rest!

1.Smile fixed,are you happy?Because of you he is sad :-p
2.For those who said I need to add more shades,now they are easier to notice.

That's all for now.

The gladius could be wider, its a short broad sword.
Overall i think its pretty good!

This sword is a hastati sword.They have very short swords,2 javelins,a shield,and a dagger.
The hard part will be to animate ^^

Are you doing it Frame By Frame?.....

forget i even asked lol

He is good but i think his nose looks a wee bit wierd

[BlackmarketKraig]

Is he going to be used in an animation?

Anyway I like it. I think if you added some highlights to the metal parts of his outfit, his weapon, and some glints of light on the gold parts of his shield it might bring more depth to the picture. Good job so far though! :)

Yes,FBF.Beacuse:

1.I prefer it to tweeining
2.I was too silly to draw in different layers meaning that I can't tween(humph...)
