hmm. do you like the halftones? i'm not sure if it is much better than the way you had it before. i do feel like the squiggly lines look too untextured compared to the rest of it.
i'd have to disagree with everyone... i enjoy v2's tongue... the clash of textures in this version makes it more interesting... if anything, i'd develop the eyes of the sun/monster thingy, give it a better expression... otherwise, i like it, go for it...
