Adarias: Yes, it's a male.
I'm assuming the pink is what's throwing people off with the gender.
If it was blue, you'd probably be able to tell that it is a guy right off the bat.
I choose to make the shirt pink because I was sick of plain black shirts and pants.
I've never made tiles before, so I was taking step 1 and made a grass/dirt tile to get accustomed to how they work.
I'm still unsure on what to do with the background since I've never made tiles or backgrounds before.
Thanks for the crits Adarias.
pkmays: Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's the pink shirt that's throwing everyone off.
Yeah, as I said never made tiles until now so expect more as I begin to learn.
Thanks for the comments pk. :]

I began work on a basic bomb explosion.
Once again this is a first, so I'm still not sure how it's supposed to look.
Not sure if it's too fast or not.
I didn't add the bomb charge just worked on the explosion.
