So, I've tried some different things. You might think that it doesn't look that different. It's true, the final picture is not that different however you can't see the process of creation. I've made a different posing skeleton than usual, also I've made a new brush to draw the outlines. Then I've added cel-shaded shadows, smoothed them out and added additional smooth highlights.
Had some Taomon lately in my head so I'm working on Tao's overall design, while trying different things. He's less buff in this picture and I've also tweaked a few other things, I think that it looks quite good.

Feedback is welcome <3
