    @Jordeyy it might look crazily different to keep the hands and feet green.... dark red and green.... hmm, sounds horrible but could clash in a surprisingly interesting way... experiment and see what goes...

    Looks great. What software are you using to make it? I'm impressed you did it without a tablet :)

    @gyroscope im trying to color it but keep running into a problem , when i color the body of the character , the black "W" like lines on his body keep having a slight white border around them and they keep getting blury look

    OK, make some of your lines longer (the heavier line at the top of the top right tooth) so it overlaps the other heavy line; that should repair that); and where the corner of the mouth is, try joining those two points...). But really, if this is going to be relatively small, you're not going to see those little glitches so I wouldn't worry too much.... (though it's good you're a perfectionist!).

    A few other subtle corrections to do I guess if you wanted....the trouble is they all would be easier to do than to explain....

    Oh yes, almost forgot, the white border around the W shapes... just make sure that, if these shapes are black fill only, that the stroke is set to no colour (the white symbol with the cross through it. Failing that, make its stroke 0 and set to black to be on the safe side.

    well that hammer strikes me to made of metal rather then wood = grey instead of brown. I would also consider using some gradient. I would go with a brownish fur and white horn

    it looks good so far, but i think you have to go more into detail now and add some shadows and maybe some other colors...
    here are some examples of amazing illustrated characters

    I think the overall character is really nice. But if i would use this in a game. Think that small details like that you missed to color his right index finger(the one overlapping his right shoe) But that is just a small detail ;) Overall looking really, really nice :D

    Using other artists images for inspiration and reference is one thing, but I would call this copying:

    No you got the wrong end of the stick bro , that was the first time i ever used my tablet , it was used as a practice drawing , its never going to be used in a game thats why i didnt color it or finish it
