Donkey Kong~ Rawr?

Yeah I really like how this came out what do you guys think feedback appreciated~

 

I like the colouring and the smudging is pretty nice as well.
Maybe try placing the render differently so it seems more like a dunk and then work the smudging around the ball a bit to create some sort of speed-effect.

 

It's nice. Maybe if you put a bit more of effects in the background. Nice job.
