SMW styled Geno

[Marioman20]

hi there. i just signed up. and i've had this custom sheet for a while now. it's Geno. but SMW styled. but i don't think it's finished. it sorta need's a few things. (riding yoshi, run, run jump, ect.) but i whould like to know if i'm doing a good job at the moment. i think the hat seem's odd. but i don't know how else to do it.

Uh, well it kind of insn't in SMW at all, the lineart is totally off. But the shading could be improved too. And the animations need workalso. Here is a reference for you http://www.mariowiki.com/Geno
but the fire looks good.

The head should be rounder and the hair should be smaller. Try making the hat rounder, too. He could also use some arms.
