Thanks Pistachio. The red orb is meant to be the eye, but I couldn't fit the eye lids. I refused to make major changes to the sprite for the sake of experience. It became clear to me that I would've need a bigger canvas and sprite anyway when I got around to drawing the fist (although the fist mark became harder to remember how to draw as time went by, so I just did what I could).
I did draw a very good sketch, but I didn't bother trying to sketch out the fist and just decided to improvise.
Thanks for drawing a proper fist imprint, it's very appreciated.
What's your advice on my decision to refuse to change the size of the sprite? While I am trying to make something good, I want to learn, through experience, the limitations of pixel art, such as implementing a small fist imprint on an already reasonably small sprite.
