 i think it's fairly decent. you just need to pick a light source (as of where the light is coming from) then place your highlights on the side where the lightsource is located and the shadows on the opposite side.

I think it looks brilliant better than the colouring on my battlers.

It looks awesome ^^

I think if I were to colour something like that it'd take me about a day or so..and it wouldn't be as good either =O

Hmm...very very nice!
But I think you should blend more on the staff(?) and the hair.

Nope, I meant that you should add more blending colors.

Your drawing skills are quite impressive but your spriting skills need work.  Hey I sprite for crap also so I know how you feel.  But you'll get the hang of it sooner or later.
