Love the realism in your vehicles and background.
Can't tell what the character is though. Lizard? Tiger? Color obviously would fix that.

Looks great.

Colour -did- fix it, so it seems.

That looks very good.

My only irk with your coloured picture is with the blue dragon at the front. I can't be completely sure, but he should be somewhat brighter due to his snowy surroundings, he doesn't seem to blend in well to well with his current shading. There's a lot of contrast between him, the tank and the background.

Only thing I can say is that I don't think there was snow during the final Battle of Berlin. The white in the background corresponds to how German structures look when you shoot artillery to them, as I referenced from several pictures.

This said, I share that oppinion, but the cusomer's fursona coloration was not something I could change. I did my best to tune down the saturation as much as possible without making it more gray than blue, and hit the limit at that particular shade. But I agree, a sniper would cap him from half a mile away.

I think it was snowing during the Battle for Berlin, the battle took place on January 16th, mid-way through Winter.

Generally though in regards to the character I was referring to the atmosphere. Everything looks brighter with a tint of white, even the tank and the soldiers in front of the blue dragon.

:T well, the pictures -during- the battle don't seem to show any snow, nor the historical reconstructions, movies about it, videogames or anything. IDK.

And yeah, the color style I tried on this was supposed to look like the old illustrated history books, which often had these pastel-looking paintings. However the character was bright blue and I couldn't quite find the correct shade without straying too far from the original. C: I accept sugestions or corrected versions on how to work this onwards.

Furthermore, I read around here that final control of Berlin by the russian forces was acquired April 30th. I'm not sure about the weather cycle on Berlin during may-april...

Mid-april '45 already was quite warm and pleasant, so snow in the end of april quite unlikely. Since the red army advanced on Reichstag and the Brandenburg gate from the west (Tiergarten park), and this image depicts the gate from the east (Pariser Platz), the main risk for the soldier depicted would have been to be shot in the back from down Unter den Linden boulevard. Otherwise the square was still enclosed, apart from the gate and the end of the boulevard, by partially destroyed buildings. At that point probably the only seriously contended area likely were the New Chancellory at about 7 to 8 o'clock and 600 meters (shielded from the square by the ruin of a bank and the former academy of arts, then the seat of Albert Speer), and parts of the old ministerial quarter east of that (some of which still exists, including Goebbel's ministry of propaganda).
