I would be shocked as well.

I would be shocked if nobody had ever mixed wide and reg pixels before. However on this piece its showcased in such a unique way that the piece really stands out above the crowd.

the widepixel dither looks awesome, a bit like scales which suits very well here

Thanks. I've seen the dithering somewhere before, but I thought that it would give him a more aligator like texture.

Haha, yeah I know. I was originally gonna go with an even flatter design, because doodling is always fun.

He doesn't look flat though...just geometric.

Clever mix of reg and double wide pixels, it works.
