Yeah, like alex said, neat illo, but the skin textures are really creepy, like the hippo put on a skin shirt that was two sizes too big.

thanks guys. :)

I'm taking everything you say into consideration in case I'll keep working on this later.

Yeah, I think this could be an incredibly solid piece if the hippo didn't look a little leper-esque. Def. worth fixing up



Maybe even adding some subtle accoutrement, like a salt/pepper shaker to the side, or a small handful of herbage? I don't think it's necessary, but it might add a little color if you have colors left.

hahahaaha, great expression. Very leper-esque as Adder said. was there something you were going for with the strange skin?

I was going for a rough and uneven look, like he was out hunting and fighting for those marbles during the day (like in the game). but considering the comments here I think I overdid it a little ;) But I'll keep working on this later.

you should reference the game a little more clearly, like with some hippos waiting to eat the marbles, also it's not immediately clear that those are marbles, and that hippo looks gross, but why?

Try to make his eyes stand out more. I first saw his nostrils as his eyes. And the marbles should be more uniform (some look like eggs). Why don't you smooth his skin, and use the colors that are shown in the game to make a more direct connection with the game?

Funny concept - I agree with above^. It tool me a little while to see his eyes. I also saw the nostrils as his eyes.
