I've had this itch for a while, I felt that after having learned so much about character design and color theory that Talrion was a bit... lacking. Its that artistic thing with just spotting all the faults and knowing what you "should" have done. Frankly it just ended with me feeling that I should redesign Talrion, but I didnt want to take away the defining traits, you never do that with an established character. So what's the changelog?

1. Removed redundant horns - They were covered by the ears anyway and honestly couldnt fit in any realistic way. (Hammerspace?)
2. Away went the bun toes - From now on properly painted ones, its a middle ground between paws and fingers.
3. Revamped colorscheme - Tal was blue, period. That doesnt make for an intriguing subject to paint. So I added a tint to his belly and a subtle natural pattern in the blend/fade of the colors.

Now I REALLY wanna hear what you think about this design, have I ruined Talrion and should revert? Or do you think he's more interesting now?
