I decided to go for a higher quality look. What do you guys think?

really awesome stuff frozen, I love the shading, clean look, and the hands. The face is kinda weird, though, try to improve that part of your style.

Interesting, I seem to have gotten a lot of mixed opinions about the face and shading.

Others felt it was the strongest point.

...cool.

Shading is like ... really sketchy. Really really. I don't think the face is weid. It's just the hair. A little unrealistic.

I like the design and stuffs. Do moar!

I'm not keen on the top of the hair, it looks like a helmet or hat. Maybe add some scruffy-ness?
Also, I don't like how the lines are so straight on the clothing. Adding more bumps and creases would give it a nice look.

I, personally, love the face. Especially the nose. But looking at the shading, should there not be some just to the side/below the nose?
Just below where his left nostril would be.

Anyway, I'd just love to see more creases and bumps in the clothing to add more realism. Apart from that, I like it.

Understandably so...

...hmm *ponders*

I almost like the radically different opinions im getting.

Makes deciding on where to go difficult.

It looks awsome .

hey Frozen, our opinions give you two extremes, so now you just need to find a compromise between the two. Or find your own balance, which someone as talented as you would probably prefer.
