I didn't do this one to learn anything, just to goof around a bit.

The sprite's looking good but there are some serious issues with banding, and his arms do look somewhat strange as if they were just pasted on, so here's a quick edit to fix that.

The shadow still looks a bit wrong, though. I'm pretty tired right now.
