self sketch, updated color version

First full sketch I've attempted of my character. I did a weak partial sketch with that db error picture earlier. There's a lot of other versions people have drawn for me that I like better than this, but I had to start somewhere I suppose. I may try to go back and do some additional shading.

edit: Colored version

Neato! Can't wait to see it colored.

It's awesome, but he has this really insane look in his eyes. >.>

The fuzz above the eyes bugs me. Other than that though very nice work. Love the proportions.

You know, there are times where your character reminds me of Big Bird

LOL, your right DJ, he does look like big bird, otherwise, good job.

EXCELLENT coloring!

what a great drawing nice job

The black and white looks like an emo chick <:D

It didn't become painfully apparent until after the digital darkening.

Hence I prompty went to town with the eraser before shading.

You should sig it and keep it as your reference. Nice job.

I don't really care for it as reference material.

If you see what I use for reference and what my finished drawing looks like you'll be much more lenient with your reference material

Here's a tip: you can kinda tell it's the same character

That's good. I really like the coloring!

Looking exelent
even better colord, great work on them wings!

You messed up the eyes in the coloured version. D: Kind of like the line-art one more.

they looked too much like long eyelashes rather than what I had intended. But I could have put more thought into those for sure. I've allready had other comments like "creepy stare."
