I love it

Stripes are always in style

Of course they are :D

Looking much better now

I know, right? :D

You captured the three-dimensional form of this humanoid character pretty well with the authentic striped patterns and the face is fairly detailed. My only complaints, if you need them, are that...

1) The lighting on this character's body is slightly inconsistent with the lighting on his jeans (i.e. difference in contrast and detail).

2) His stripes don't wrap well around certain areas of his body(i.e. left forearm and tail).

3) His lack of absolute muscular definition (coupled with the slightly inconsistent lighting) makes it slightly difficult to determine his skeletal structure (e.g. shoulder blades, deltoids, etc.) from a distance.

4) His face lacks extra visual details (e.g. whiskers).

5) His right arm is nowhere to be seen.

Other than that, this is another good job well done! Good luck with the contest and all!

Thanks for the suggestions! :) I took some of them into account (I'm not a big fan of the whiskers, haha) and reloaded the image.

Okay, I see that the lighting on his body is more consistent with the lighting on his jeans.

Plus, I can see his shoulder blades and deltoids a bit better now, so that's an improvement.

Stripes are in!

This is FANTASTIC! Gosh you nailed the stripes, it looks absolutely stunning

Dayum dude only just saw this!! Looks awesome!!
