Ragsrun -> RE: FableVerse and Other Creations (12/31/2014 6:46:13)

I'll try to be brief and only give my thoughts on the overall piece. Adding extensive guesswork about his origins, speaking style, topics he's willing to talk about, and etc would become lengthy. ;
So first, good things. Congratulations! Y'have a fully Flashed character and he looks fairly dashing. A steadfast fellow. The (viewer's) left hand ain't bad, plus there're also clothing creases, details to the shoe soles, hair that doesn't seem too "chunky", and several other tidbits I could compliment you on—but let's not go there since that'd mostly serve to increase this post's word count. I'd rather not sugarcoat things too much and dart straight to CC for quicker reading purposes.
1. Let's start with clothing technicalities. Yes, I did say it's good you had creases. At the same time though, it looks like they're just...there. Wrinkles exist on his shirt, jacket, belt, pants, and shoes—however, the shading doesn't always follow up on them, in particular downwards from the belt and on the (viewer's) right thigh. There's also general stiffness about his garments that makes him look flat and/or without great physical fitness despite his abs showing through his shirt. To help remedy these problems, it might be best if you study a few fabric references or fashion models to get a better idea of how cloth ripples appear, or maybe glance at newer in-game art like Ash(endal)'s NPC since he's done in Flash too.
2. There are sometimes small bits of white such as on his left shoulder, right chest, and around the shoe soles. I'm guessing those aren't supposed to be there?
3. I also wanted to touch upon your usage of the Brush Tool. It's great you're adding extra swirls and stripes to his garments and claw, but simultaneously they look a little messy, especially on his shoes. Maybe they'll look nicer when you get better at shading clothing though. On a similar note, the decorations don't seem to follow the shading on their surroundings. Unless they're glowing or something, they should behave like everything else does.
4. Hair. It is intensely black and intensely shiny; if I didn't squint at it, I really wouldn't have noticed there was shading on the tuft ends. Either his hair's enchanted or that's a place where you might have to work on your color choices. : p
Gonna leave off here since this is quite a bit of text. Hopefully it doesn't seem too crude, and helps you a little.
