I've been hammering away at this for a while, working to get it the way I really wanted. Problem is, just when I think I have it, I get another idea in my head and I add on and add on and add on again! I'm on the 7th or 8th reworking of these and just had another brain strom. I'm brining this jot of inspiration before ya for a smidgen of critique (sans the harshing). Below are the two differnt final products that will end up on my sheet when I'm done. Question is a matter of...I guess shading. Any tips here would be appreciated.

Is that shading page still up? You ought to read the tutorial.

nice design on him there.
