I think the pose looks fine, but i will agree on the coloring. the black kinda melds the hair and shadow a bit too much methinks... but it looks amazing!
And don't yo just hate it when that happens? Here you are, minding your own business stealing from holy men, and all of a sudden you're framed for murder. Oi! XD

Well the more I look at it actually, the more it looks alright to me. I might try coloring it differently to see if I like it a different way or not. But for now this is good.

Thanks!

Lol. Yeah really. <.<

Hey, black on black is a pain, but it still looks pretty durn fabulous. Gotta love the expression on him :3

Yeah...x.x Coloring black in general is a pain.. Thanks!

he looks so innocent

<.<

its rough being a pickpocket...

Yes, yes it is.

my character, Patches is a thief/pickpocket by habit (he doesn't really need to do it...its just fun) I mean its not really stealing...its just a public service! Pickpockets take the stuff you don't really pay attention to and get it out of your way. I mean a few coins in your purse....a ring you don't really need anyways....and come on the priest is dead its not like he needs the medallion anyways right?

Hee hee... hmmm... this seems familiar some how ;) *giggles* But, all I can say to this is: Wow... that's kind of scary about how close to what I pictured him. I feel your pain with black... it really, really, REALLY is a pain to color and even worse to shade... after all... how do you make something that's 100% black MORE black? I've looked all over Photoshop and there is no black blacker. But, I'm rambling. I love it Foxxian! You did a marvelous job as always! *hugs*

Hehe. Really? Im glad I described him well enough for you to get a good idea of what he looks like. ^^

Yes... black is a pain to color.. which is why I dont color with total black. I used a few different shades here.

I like the coloring and effects and shading. It all goes together really well even the background. Not sure what your seeing in it but it looks great to me ^.=.^

Thanks! Im glad it looks alright to someone. ^^

cool and cute

Thanks ^^

I love your style, we should do a trade sometime.. only if ya wanted.

Thanks. That would be cool, Iv never done a trade before.

I actually think the coloring worked out good. He sort of blends into the background which fits with the character really.

Thanks. Thats good actually, I try to get my characters to fit in with the background anyway.

Looks fine to me. Black's kinda suppose to blend a bit into the shadows... it what black does

Thanks! Lol. That is true.

Eeee, adorable. :D

I always play as pickpockets/thieves/rouges etc in games. :3

Thanks!

Heh. Me too, they are alot of fun to play.

Extremely!
