Hey this is my first attempt at a character look, first cg artwork in this format.
What do you guys think all input will be much appreciated!

The clothes follow the curves of the body a little too well. The coat should be hanging over her, not stuck to her. Other than that, you might want to smoothen down the shoulders. She looks like she's got some padding on underneath that.

I don't know if this is a coat, really. I only see the upper torso so I don't know about that. Of course with a body like that and clothes like that you must show the nipples. And you could add a lot of detail, especially on the shadows. But I like her  ;)

About that I agree about the shoulders! Thanks
Its more of a cat suit.. So I was going with the  stuck on her look.

There are. Either they're wearing bodypaint or they're on mardi Gras.

Looks very good, a nice, clear cartton style; reminds me a little of the GTA ads. Looks like the kind of style that could carry a game very well and keep your workload down because even without shading, it looks good. You should post a pic of the whole character.

not bad upper torso drawing, left hand has too high elbow and right hand just isnt nice, also soulders are too square.

but i actually posted to give u advice about scanning: to get a nice line u shud ink ur painting and then scan it adjusting line thikness by playing with contrast. this way u evade gettin "thready" (partially thin) line

i edited this to rephrase my thoughts:
u take original and make a copy by any means. then u take a copy, take your favorite drawing tool that operates with ink and go over existing lines on the drawing. that way u get clear lines that u play with in photoshop or any other tool u use after u scan it.
