Alien Scientist Sidekick

For one of my assignments, we had to design one of three characters in a sci-fi kid's show set in the far-future. I chose the alien sidekick, because he was the most fun to draw.

This is a model sheet that I had to scan in and colour. I'm still not 100% happy with the colour scheme (it looked great in pencil form... :\ ), but I was in a rush because I'd lost a lot of worktime to computer problems, so I had to go with it.

Oddly enough, I was deadset against using green when picking a colour scheme, but nothing seemed to quite fit him like a soft green did. Plus, the red and purple I'd already chosen worked as complementary colours to it, and I could still make the reddish-brown boots work! The dark-green and dark-blue highlights took a little longer to work out. Again, this all looked better to me in coloured pencil form... but no way was I gonna redraw the entire model sheet just to colour with pencils. :/

I'm kinda tempted to give him a name and find a chance to re-appropriate him for a story or comic of some kind... Then again, I wanted to do that with the girl from that thing we did in TAFE...
