>>39732006It does help, but think about what you want to draw attention to, and use colour to guide the viewer's eyes.
For example his tail. It's the most stand out part of his design, but it's so small, and so plain, that the only reason it stands out is because it's the only thing that isn't boring.
Add a strong colour to his tail tip. Add it to his horn, too. Consider giving him a helmeted look by adding something around his eyes and scalp. His body takes up the majority of his design and yet nothing about it grabs the viewer's interest, at all.
Here's an INCREDIBLY quick and dirty edit. This isn't meant to be a better design in any way whatsoever. This is just meant to show you how much easier it is to focus a design using colour instead of having to texture the body so much. Especially in newer gen designs: You want a very smooth body. Toylike anatomy. Sections of the body are delineated with colour and shapes rather than texture. More plastic, less clay.
