After reading the critique by :iconaki003: , i wanted to try to re due this picture so...yeah.... this is what it turned out looking like after trying her advice.

I prefer this one. It's more vivid and the lines are clearer. The darker shadows make things look more 3D. Kudos to you, well done! :D

hi! yeah I totally agree, It's more vivid and I can define shades now, painting white pixels really helped a lot.
I see you're new to photoshop, Some tips that can help your images look better: if you don't have a tablet try practicing with the pen tool for the lineart, it will make your pics much more clearer and the lines less shivery, making them a bit thinner also gives it a more serious look and less cartoonish, but that depends on tastes it's up to you.

Something I do for practice is to look for a pic I like and trace it totally from lineart to shades and effects trying to position everything the most exact I can, That helps me learn shade positioning, color scheme selection and lots of more things and when I go to my original pic I apply all those things, I'm not the super artist but I might say that, that has helped me improve a lot since last year. but remember don't ever show those to anyone or claim them as yours just because you traced them they're just practice.

and well that's all for now sorry it was so long T_T, but if you need any help just ask =)

Ok thanks ^_^ I think I'll combine the bold colors of this one with the soft shading of the other. That I would really like!
