i really like the background, you did a great job with it with the room and window panes and all, i could tell it was a volcano.

i think you did the pokemon really well. the grid-like tile floor give the picture the necessary depth to make mando look like hes a foot or two closer to the 'camera'

I think you did a nice job with shading on mondo, skin and all but i would advise you to look at different skin tutorials and play around. by doing that i've found that there are acutally a lot of different colors in skin tones and that saturation changes when the skin color is affected by light/shadow.

the pants bother me. you can see his knee caps like rediculously (and his...thigh lines) through his jeans (?) as if they were REALLY tight, but everywhere else the pants are loose and the fabric in folding on itself. if they are jeans try not to make them so soft and flowy, jeans are stiff and actually dont have much folding and movement to them, in most chases.

and other than the fact that he looks nothing like mondo, haha, i think this is really good! who's next after you do you and your favs???
