It's not perfect. Aladdin looks a little out of proportion. Actually, the only reason I put Aladdin there was so that I'd have a good idea as to how tall Farid is. Then I got carried away making Aladdin a new-ish outfit. (It's similar to the one he wore at the end of the first movie.)

Anyway, please tell me what you think. Smile

It's cool. Very Happy

Aladdin looks kind of Jafar-ish with those dark clothes, though.

Were those clothes colored, though, they'd be purple or indigo in the dark areas. Smile

Oh, yeah. Just like the clothes at the end of the first movie. And the feather on the Prince Ali outfit. And his vest. Aladdin does look good in purple. Purples as rich and dark as midnight. The color of royalty, supposedly it's good for people with epilepsy and neurological disorders and depression and things like th at.

I think they're great! The outfits are well designed, and the expressions are gracefully done!

My constructive critism:

There's just something about ALaddin that doesn't quite look like him... and the ... crotch lines... are a little low.

The eyes? They seemed a little...well, they weren't as big and round? Or maybe just the turban? That it's too small. The ones that went with the wedding and Prince Ali outfits were much bigger.

*Nods* Like I said, Al's proportions are a little off. As for the crotchline... well, I personally blame that one on those Arabian fancy-pants. Y'know, the ones with crotches down to Timbuktu.

Ahem.

As for Al's look, I tried to make him look closer to the Aladdin of the first movie. During some of the scenes in the first movie (especially the balcony scene), you can see that his features have a sort of prettiness about them that were lost in future medias. Hopefully, these'll show you what I mean:

As for turbans, I've noticed that I tend to draw them a bit smaller. Remember the turban he wore in King of Thieves with his gray outfit? This one's probably more akin to that. In my opinion, the big, huge turbans just look rather silly and inconvenient. (I mean, how many miles of fabric should a guy have to wrap, anyway?)
