what the hell was that Helm? yes, yes I do? and justifying your behavior with you being a mod? since when is this a place where mods must be respected just because? Filax was actually right, you shouldnt be littering the forum like that with your random discomfort, if you thought he was doing some form of piracy or lying you SHOULD have made it trough pm, I think you were quite obviously being an ass.
Cremated Pumpkin, actually very little of what Helm said had anything to do with the topic, he was just bashing the creator of the topic in public because he gets kicks out of it as he accepted himself, only the"oh: BTW" part is about the sprite, and frankly I dont understand what he meant when he used the computer term "buffer" either, but I do know his comment is limited to optimizing the pallete.
I think the picture is pretty good, I think you do have something going on there with the way the rectangular shape of his eyes paralel to his mouth, makes him feel extremely bored but also mentally active because of the squinting, his skinstone is a bit too red for my tastes, I would add a bit of desaturated yellow, and I think I would also add a bit of yellow on the hair, specially the highlight.
The highlight is also a bit too regular in it's shape, you should make it a bit more......wiggly for the lack of a better word, to make the hair look less like it's wrapped in a thick layer of hairgel.
