I definitely noticed it and was surprised to come back and see that nobody had commented yet. But you're right, people are definitely upping their game during the pandemic! So much great pixel art being posted these days, it's kind of overwhelming!

Anyway, great job, great design and great shading. I hope it's not 3 years before you post again. 

Thanks, surprised anyone noticed this post since theres so much impressive stuff being uploaded.
I didn't focus too much on the rifle since i've never really done weapons before lol.

Well done! Might have been cool to add more metal reflections to pimp the visuals on the rifle.
