i like the overal design of the creature, but it could be more cutely proportioned

here's my revision:
                                         before                                                                     after
         

list of changes:
eyes placed lower in the face and more widely spaced
smaller nostrils
smaller, thiner arms
shorter body, increasing the perceived size of the head
larger incisives make it look stupider

i like the navel

You know, a lot of it's that the shading on the navel is black, so it looks like a hole rather than an indented space in green skin.

your revision is broken.

Also the contest limits me to 7 colors so that kind of kills a lot of little tone changes that I would normally make

Doesn't look cute to me. Personally, I think his nostrils utterly remove the cuteness factor, but that's just me.

Thank you for all the fish. It was a good run.
