    Nice entry. A few points for you to consider:

    - The thumb is out of proportion. Could you try putting the hand in his pocket please? Gives an impression of teenager "attitude" :)
    - The face doesn't really look like me. If you're going to go for a "head on" look, please refer to this picture :)
    - The tie is a bit wonky. Only very small modification there ;)
    - I don't seem to have any knees :eek: lol

    Once again, thanks for the entry. Great work.

    Are you wanting to be smiling, or full on teen attitude as per your image?

    Hand in pocket shouldn't be an issue.

    A wonky tie is a realistic tie.. perfectly straight makes for cardboard look, your choice though.

    Knees... Hmmm, yep, I guess i can add some creases and shadows. ;)

    Will be tomorrow afternoon/evening though.

    I'd prefer to be smiling, but I think the lips on your last entry were far too big/red/dominant. Look at l3fty's and akdelic's entries for some really good smiles/mouths. :)

    As for the wonky tie, I agree to a certain extent but whilst I need to have that teenager look, I also need to look quite professional.

    Look forward to seeing your entry :)

    OK, Feedback time :D

    plugzzzz. Nice entry, but I don't like the way he's sat... he looks like he's just been sacked lol :eek:. Try him standing up and that'd be one of my favourites. Also, my eyes aren't that big, and they're blue. I do like the way he's holding the money though, so well done.

    blankeyecue. Awesome work, really cool entry. I think the face is really good, although (a) I'm looking for him to be standing up, and (b) the edges are wonky rather than smooth. Could you fix it please? :D

    zyndtel. Nice entry, but I'm not too sure on the way the briefcase looks. Also, I don't like the suit being in different colours... makes it look mismash instead of professional. Face is good though :)

    From now on, could any hands that aren't holding anything go in a pocket please!

    Radu, that's looking really nice now. Improvement suggestions:

    - The hand that's in the air, could you put that in his pocket instead?
    - Make the hair colour more like mine (dark blonde/brown)
    - Could you make it so he's standing as if he's going right rather than left.
    - Take the 'e' off the briefcase. Feel free to put something else there, but it's not 'cartoony' enough atm.

    Other than that, it's looking really good :D

    Awesome work Sorukayde :D
    Improvements:

    - Make him so he's walking to the right rather than the left.
    - Make the shoes a bit better (minor)
    - Make the face look a bit more like me. ;)

    I really like the clothes you've put him/me in though, nice job!

    Now, that's really nice, very realistic. I'm trying to think of feedback, but I can't :eek:

    Well, the briefcase could do with some improvements, but other than that it's great. That said, I'm going to wait for some more entries in a more 'cartoony' style lbefore I make up my mind. :)

    Thanks for the revision.

    Like you say, the face needs some work doing... at the moment he looks sort of shy and embarassed, but I really need him to look like an outgoing businessman. Other than that it's quite nice, although the edges need smoothing out.
    :)

    Thanks. Yeah, as with the last contest there are some amazing entries here. Great work everyone :D

    Back to your design... it's awesome! Infact, the only suggestion for revision I have is that the legs need a bit of work (the gap between the legs to be more visible, and the shoes to be seperate from the trousers). Also, could you make it so he's facing the other way please. :)

    --------------------------------------------------------------


    Thanks for another great entry.

    As with the design posted a bit earlier, I think that you've made this specific idea as good as it's going to get. Now I just have to decide what sort of style of person I'm going for. :D

    Once again, thanks for the great entries.
