Piffin Character

Hello,
I have a question.
How do I make this character fit into his background better? http://postimg.org/image/gh8kmit5l/
Or how do I make him look better altogether? Please feel free to share your opinion on him. I will update this photo as I keep working on him.
Thanks,
Sydney

While it is probably way more fun to do some concept art about great new stuff for milestone 3+ what happened to ordinary stuff? You know like a working editor or a stable release of milestone 2?

Thank you for your reply,but this is not for milestone 3,this is for milestone 2.Milestone 2 has a lot more that we have to do and add to it,before it is officially done.At the moment there is no milestone 3,because 2 is not done.Supertux 2 is a development snapshot,meaning that is a sort of "beta" of milestone 2.

It is for milestone 2 ;)
We are working on making it stable… that is the SDL2 implementation…
We are working on the editor…

Pif is a "ordinary" stuff for it is a main character for world3 wanted by the coder we recruited recently :p

Shading is just ok :)

For Rainbow beak what about a band at the base of the beak with rainbow colors?

Hey sydneydj,

I like the Piffin,just one small thing: I think the borders could use some more fuzziness (if I am making any sense here). Just look at Tux or the other badguys. If you compare those, you see that Tux is a lot more fuzzy than the piffin which is rather sharp-lined (I know that is not a word ;) )

IMO there's still too much detail. If you look at tux, piffin is just too detailed.
