Anyway, here's your guy...kind messed up because I forgot the thing in his clothes...

Thank you so much for drawing him! He looks great! Don't worry about the outfit, I forget my own oc's details all the time haha.

Could you show it to me please? And is it bad?

Your colouring is definitely not bad! There's just several stylistic choices I think you could make that would make it better is all.
Here's a (rather sloppy) edit:

I could have made the contrast more distinct, but tried to stick to your style as much as possible
- I upped the saturation of his shirt
- Added a grey-brown to his pants
- Made the shadows on his skin more prominent
- Added a light source

Is there a particular style you're aiming for? As you can probably see, I'm a fan of vivid colours, and that'd be a problem if you were aiming for something, say, soft and pastel-ly.

Thank you so much for the tip! I'll keep this in mind.
I'm still thinking of pastel too because that would be definitely a pain. I just want a vivid cel shaded style like those in anime. ;A;

Thank you so much for the references. I will check them out! For now, here's Anzu. Hope you like my art ;A;

OH my it is delightful, I love it! I showed it to the Director for the game and she says it's AMAZE too ehehe... ah here is the twitter for it. Sorry, I can't offer you any more advice since art isn't my forte but it's so nice to see how much great advice everyone is offering.
Ah, but one thing I realised was that perhaps practicing CGs can help you get better at comic arrangments and such. I've seen CGs that use a comic layout with multiple panels to portray one or more scenes. They are very cool and dynamic. I wish I could find an example but I can't remember where I saw it . They are a little more work but perhaps you can try that out and get the practice you need while making some cash doing CGs.

I wish you the best with working towards getting better at art so you can make your own comics one day!

I'm glad you liked it! Just in case you want a bigger resolution, you can always pm me about it. ^^

I would probably do 1-2 cgs first then I'll try opening an art shop here, maybe next week (as I'm currently finishing a commission right now). Hopefully, someone will hire me. >A<

After a week I finally finished this!
It's a commission from deviantart.
He's supposed to have a golden yellowish skin.
