(be careful about staring at the top one! can hurt your eyes after a while.)

Supposed to be making game and things that follow will probably be for that.

Is the right leg on the flashing robot supposed to be going up twice? It looks like it's jerking like it's not supposed to. Seeing the armored bear at original size as well may help a bit. Even though we are just going to zoom in. It's still helpful to see how it's supposed to look like. And why are his feet pigeoned toed? Other then that, the light on the shoulders appear to be coming from two different directions. See the white highlite on the bears head.

It takes awhile to see it, but the robot is actually a guy with two guns. ::)
You should try to make it a bit more readable, cuz it took me quite sometime before I could see it properly.

More readable? Changed the face so it looks less like a robot, changed flash a little, added a blink. I also tried adding shells ejecting from the guns, but couldn't get it to look right and scrapped it :(.

Is that baggy thing a bag that carries a kid or just a kid with binoculars?

It might be nun-chucks too or just the opening of sleeves. The bobbing pixels make me assume it's not a rigid object (such as binoculars).

It's sleeves, yeah :( The boy is wearing a baggy robe, he's supposed to be a student/squire in a sort of Renaissance military academy.
Will work on making it more readable. :blind:

Thanks :)
It was just sort of a mockup for how character randomization would work in a sort of Roguelike sidescrolling shooter game.
