It was easy to draw.. But the coloring/shading took me around an hour!! Enjoy.

It looks like you spent quite a bit of time working on it (as you mentioned with the colouring). Good job on your effort.

Somethings I noticed about it:

While not necessarily bad, the eyes you made 'clear'. This might present a problem if you were to post it on a page that doesn't have its background colour as white. I use the 'digital' skin theme for the forums and the background is a very dark green colour. He looks a bit odd to say the least with dark green eyes.

Look at the line of his neck, then look at where his shoulder is. There's a very noticable discrepency there. As it stands now, it looks like he has a bad case of goiter.

You can give your piece a more sophisticated look by putting in such things as cast shadow and highlights. Areas such as headband, jacket collar (the one upturned on his left) could benefit from this.

If you're not very experienced with drawing ears, the less lines the better. Right now, you have some extraneous lines that muddles that part of the body. Just define the major parts of the ear with black, and have the other parts being more clearly shown with the shadow colour (darker peach).

What can I say about the style? Very very DBZ.

I see a very nice piece of work, and I admire the shading you've done on him...

I'd have put the eyes a little higher if I were you, but that's all of the criticism I have for this pic.

Keep up the good work.

Good old CoN

Way better than what I can do with just a paint program, great job with the coloring and shading.

I fixed his neck and I removed many lines from the ears, and also I made his eyes "Blue" because I forgot that it was black before posting it! When I realised the colors were too bright, I made the brightness and contrast dark with Corel Paint Shop and I forgot about the eyes...

Very nice! As a former MS Paint user, I congratulate you. I'm not much for cristicism, so I say, you captured his whole attitude nicely!

You're telling me that there's no hope.

I'm telling you you're wrong.

I'm impressed. I can barely draw stick figures in paint.

I think Kame's criticism was valid, and it looks like you fixed it up pretty well after that.

Thanks you guys.. Just one question.. Will CON add this to the fan art section in ff6?

Hmm.. Well, I thought it was pretty obvious with a title like "Site Submissions" for this forum. But yeah, it'll be posted when ever the next update takes place.
