Tip My Hat by @Akumyo (Akumyo)

A dose of OC randomness. Inspired by an unfinished doodle in my sketchbook of this character.

Makes me think of a mix of the big bad wolf and the wicked witch. So evil, and yet polite :)

Awesome. You've got this totally creepy, scary looking monster--and he's just walking past the viewer, tipping his hat. A rather ominous gesture--it seems like he's saying "I'll be seeing YOU later!" I absolutely love it.

However, the contrast between him and the moon is really dramatic--but it makes it hard to see the details of the edges of the picture. Like his hat and arms--they blend into the blue. So I would suggest either lightening the blue, or perhaps lightening the very edges of his hat to make it stick out more.

I really love the details in his costume--the patch on the hat is an EXCELLENT touch. His empty, savagely wild eye coupled with the gentlemanly expression of tipping a hat is truly a remarkable, original and highly creative idea!

I'll check into that blending problem. I'm using a flat-screen LCD monitor, so I can see edges and colors a bit better than most normal monitors. When one uses a flat screen for illustration they tend to forget that the bulk of the population can't see at the same resolution. I'll check on that and see if I can flesh him out a bit more.
