I'm not that great at photoshop, so i don't like to point out others faults when i see them in myself...
Well, if you wish us to be cruel...

First off, the proportions: All wrong. The arms are waaayy too long (Unless that's the style you're going for, which i assume it's not.) In fact, the legs are even shorter than the arms; not a good thing. Shorten the arms, lengthen the legs and it should work out much better.

Next, there's the face. It's really off-balance, and way too small. Also, the body looks a little...limp. And flat. Again, that has to do with proportions, so i'll set that aside. But i can't tell if it's a boy or a girl.

Anyway, apart from that, it looks good. Maybe a little more shading, and a few tips on colouring, and it'll look much better. Believe you me.


TheSilverSerpent: Kickin' it with a new kind of style.

Left arm seems a little too long to me.
It's better than my 'art' anyway.

i tried to fix these, see for yourself, it isnt quite smooth at the moment, as i want to get the proportions right before reshading.

i took the face out, and will add one soon. Hopefully, by fixing the proportions, i have fixed the body.

Its a girl.

More shading will come soon, as im more concerned about proportions.

and a few tips on colouring, and it'll look much better. Believe you me.

your talking about the yellow skin right? It wasn't yellow until i added the shading, is there any way to fix that without starting over.

If you did your skin on a separate layer, you can always Ctrl+U the skin layer to change its hue (remember to check the "colorize" box in the Hue and Saturation window!). If your skin isn't on a separate layer, you'll have to use the lasso or magic wand tool to select the skin and then use Hue + Saturation.


I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
