Hehe, well it's originally from a portrait challenge we had at work where we were supposed to make very tiny bodies of ourselves with a very limited space. So that's why it "sucks". But I still think it's cool because of the old school factor :D. Maybe I'll get around to making a proper avatar for myself if I start to feel at home here.
Out of all your submissions, this looks really out of place. All of the others look like you've worked hard on them, but this looks like it took ten seconds.
Not to be an ass, but why? It's a sprite of yourself too, so I thought you'd work hard on that.

Reminds me of the old LucasArts games... quite nice, given the size you have to work with.
