Hi, thanks for the feedback. Well, this is just an initial submission from me so of course I can revise it or even totally change the character during the contest. Actually, I took this character look with retro style similar inspired from hey archie and richie rich.. But if I wasn't in the right direction, that's fine. I just think the character at the attachment has more cartoony and silly look, instead of serious look. As you can see the proportion of his hands, legs, nose, they looks not normally sized, and more cartoony. Maybe if you have another reference of retro character illustration you like, that will be very helpful. So I can make sure that I'm on the right track before I get started to make the revision. You can search at google image and paste the links here.
Thanks!
