How about lowering the ears slightly? (By about four pixels ish?)

Or you could give it horns instead of ears? (And keep the ears for another character?)

Also, he looks cross-eyed?

Other than that, he looks alright! :)

i did a quick paint over with the pencil tool. although, with a head this large its probably better to use brushes, rather than go pixel by pixel. hehe.

Wow mordalles you are indeed a very good graphic artist!
No stop wasting time! and finish that mordy game  ;)

Once again very good!

Phoenix, alotugh i myself like drawing striaght to computer its
always good to get reference on what you want to draw eg,
look at a boar pic, penciling and scanning works well. however
my tyson pic I drew striaght out of my head! ... After penciling
didnt scan. So take a while and sketch a bit!

That's pretty good. One thing I can see that does look weird is the eyes. It looks like it has those really cute puppy dog eyes! You just wanna go up and pat the poor beast. :D I think the eyes should be more like Mordalles has them, kinda like a cat's.

I concur.

What if you made them look angry? Pointed downwards eyebrows or even better, diagonally curved eyelids. You know what I mean?

I really think you should use a picture of a cat or a dog for the body. It will look better, trust me.  The tusks look wrong. Nothing has tusks like that and it looks strange.

I wouldn't pat something with teeth and tusks like that!  :P
