Title: dash WIP

this was mostly a sketch, but the idea is from Virtual On dashing (thrust vectoring).

that's really just the basis, i'm not sure weather to go minimalist, or make it more coherent.  In any case, are there any crits on the anatomy? or anything else? C+C and help are greatly appreciated as i'm not a very good pixel artist yet.

off-topic; MS paint seems inefficient (no layers, no dithering tool, no transparency, etc.)  but i don't want to use Photoshop as it simply has too much.  Does anyone have any suggestions in this regard?

thanks! -DLM

Why not try the free Version of GraphicsGale? Or GrafX2? Or ProMotion? Or an old DOS Program running in DOSbox, like "DeluxePaint", "GrafX2", "VGAPAINT", and so on.
