Here, I was trying to make a negative-type character. This was supposed to be a teenager, lazy, cowardly and maybe even cruel. Maybe a big brother no one wants to have. I made really fast, in about 20 minutes (which means fast for me), then started to repaint it to correct errors and give final look and... didn't know where to start! Here it is.

What would You do next? I'm really out of ideas.
P.S - If image happens to be invisible/broken linked, or you cannot see it for some other reason, let me know and I will move it to another server.
I love it! :o
What I would do next? Animate him! :P

well, i dont get a feeling of cowardly, but that would be hard since i do see him as cruel.
perhaps on his back view, move his hand/wrist area in one pixel, cause right now, to me, it almost looks like his hands are in his back pockets also
very nice job
I did a quick paintover.

1. Added 1 level of 'ambiguous' shading to the body, legs, and feet.
2. Added shading/hi-lighting to the hair
3. Fiddled around with the face adding shading and changing the shape a little.
- a. raised the mouth up 1 pixel and gave it a smirk/frown.
- b. darken'd the eyebrows.
- c. made the eyes more noticable.
Like Scummbuddy said, I don't feel he's 'cowardly' but he does have a bully-like quality. He certainly looks pissed about something!
Anyhow ... feel free to use whichever (if any) of the edits you want!
Cheers,

Hm. Great repaint. I think I just learned something.
Repainted version looks better at image original size (or let's say HI-res), though it's more difficult to animate. Fact is, I made it just for fun and practice - actually I'm out of projects and not doing any games.
And about this cruel/cowardly thing -- "bully" is excactly the right word. Bullies are usually cowards, aren't they? I imagine this guy kicking or a cat when pissed at something. Yeah, that's what I meant.
