You need to work on your shading alot more and possibly add more than just simple colour draw overs, possibly make the guy covered in fur or tribal tattoos to make him more interesting. As said, just work on your shading and try to add more than just simple colour changes. And dw, im not attacking you, just trying to help you improve.

u now any gd teqniques for adding hair? e.g which colours and as for shading i just gotto make some areas draker and some areas lighter?

 

[Kimbo]

although i dont really like dodge and smudge etc these tutorial seems to give out a good quality result, remember to keep in flow with your textures form, as in the muscles and stuff, he isnt a flat piece of paper.

Nah wulf I think the shading is fine. Or at least it looks fine in game.

That better be sarchasm.

The lack of shading shows in game too. It just looks like it doesn't from far but it would look 10x better shaded.

Just an attempt to point you in a better direction
I'll give you an example for some scales. Mine are smaller than yours, though, and mine are probably too small

Start with a base color

Add in the shading

Make a sketch of the scales

Add in highlights and darken the top and lower edges

Also, there's this
