crap, I was quite impressed by this and added as its own image.
B.O.B. is correct of course, if you would add the link to the colored finished version and then delete this page from your gallery it would be awesome :)

Oh, sorry. I meant insert this animation gif link, in the description of the finished piece, by using the hyperlink/link button in the comment tool bar...

@The B.O.B. : no I don't start in grayscale, but I have had a problem of low memory on the Amiga 1200, wich don't allow me to create the animation in full color, I had to reduce the colors number.

P.S. : I don't know how to 'attach this to the original', what do you mind by this ?

   Do you normally start out in gray scale, and add colors later? Just found it interesting that new colors or sections are added, especially in the forehead(above his left brow) of the finished piece, that aren't showing in this w.i.p.

" The source for the picture is my own mind"
   Ripping is not what we're concerned about in this piece, just the way in which it was done, as ILKke and Tomic mentioned before. No, we don't think MSpaint is the GOD of pixel tools, and other programs to pixel are encouraged. In my opinion, this looks ok, and I would like it to go in, but there still may be some concern with others. I would also like you to attach this image to the original finished piece, as well. I'm fairly sure this will get in sooner or later, though.

And if I haven't said it before, I'll say it now: this looks great, and I can't wait to see some of your later stuff...

This is great either way. But just include it in the original. The animation is also cool, I liked it.

No need to create a separate image. Just include this with your actual piece.
