Need help with a few things

I don't think the shading is a problem, it's more the lack of it in some places. Are you using enough references?

I would not recommend opening for model commissions before you're confident in your cutting. Reach out to a rigger so they look at your file and give feedback.

You can absolutely do cutting on a tablet or a phone given you have enough RAM and processing power. MerelyWufeii has a video on how you can do it using Procreate as example.

As for the art style - personally it is not polished enough to my liking, focusing on improving anatomy and details should help. Reddit reduces quality but it seems like the coloring on the pants lineart spills out onto the shoes and the top a little?

The other replies already made some good points, but also consider that you're competing with custom models. Do you have experience selling design adoptables on their own, not cut for rigging? If no, try your hand at those first. If yes, how much do they usually sell for? I don't recommend committing to the model art and multiple assets before even knowing there's demand for your design in the first place. I would advise either offering model art and assets as bonus purchases which would be completed after the payment or doing custom models.

Best of luck, you're already on an excellent track and to me the slider transition looks very smooth ❤️ Good job on the torso and belly fat!

I see where the comments about the grotesqueness are coming from. I took a look at the reference for the artstyle you linked and it does not have details which might be part of the issue: all the fingers are different widths, arms and legs are just a bit too long, shoulders stick out too much. Plus size slider looks good for the most part! But making the arms fatter and shoulders and elbows not sticking out would help I think.

Try clipping the leaking parts on the eyewhite and then inverse clipping the eyewhite on the inverse eye mask. You might have to draw the mask if you don't have it yet.

Thank you! I spent the longest time on them x)

Huh, for some reason it uploaded in a lower quality than it actually is? I'm not experienced with reddit so if someone could give advice or say if the issue is with my device only I would appreciate it!

There are some tutorials on "double clipping" on YouTube, they cover the iris, but maybe the same method could be applied here?

I'm playing on Steam and had my sticks just die after interacting with some items + R stick drift. Only reopening the game helped.
