hey
The shape of the head looks odd to me, it also looks bare and not well defined, maybe some hair, or a hat could help???.
The shading looks lacking, nothing seems defined... I get a slight sense of pillow shading, even though it is not. Hmm, the pants and shoes seem to look better to me in your mockup image.
@Adarias: It looks darn nice, but I think it would be a horror to animate???, hehe
. I mean how cool would it be to have the other side of him light up when he walks in the other direction
, but yea... I think it would be tough. But then again, I've never really done any pixel animation, so I dunno what I'm talking about :\.
I think I remember thinking he was just crouching when I first saw, I don't think there is much to emphasize him picking something up?
Anyhows I don't want to discourage you :\, so yea... keep at it
.
