Ninja Nathan's Sprites 'n Stuff.

[AutumnSpire]

Did you even read what Mr. Buttbutt said at all?

I don't mean to sound rude, but if it helps get my point across, so be it.
Do not Pillow-shade. It is not visually pleasing, and well, yeah, it's lazy.
If you still don't understand pillow-shading, here's yet another example...

Left is pillow shading (Light's on the inside), and Right is a random kind of not-pillow shading.
BTW, isn't Ridley supposed to be bony? His face screams "Circle Tool was here" way too much; then again, it could change when you add details, I don't know.

Also, don't complain about people's comments, even if they sound offensive, the point of this forum is to help you improve. Simply ignore the offensive part, gather the constructive criticism, and work on it.

Good luck, and welcome.
