This is another character of mine. He has no name yet, but I know his nickname is "G.G." He's a gamer and stays up late playing on his PC. (The "stray pixel" on his face is a mole, btw.)

I've had this idea for months but it was only a sketch, until today. I've been wanting to have this as my avatar. And I swear to God that this is the first time I've used a monochrome palette like this... There's another piece I'm working on that also has a monochrome palette, so this served as practice for that. Also, I couldn't decide whether to keep the black background, or make it transparent so you could see the actual shape of his hair, so I just uploaded both lol

There's a couple of things about this piece that I wasn't quite sure how to handle, such as the light coming from the monitor. All that dithering wasn't intended at first, but once I applied it a little I couldn't stop. How does it look? Critique is welcome...
