I decided to finally submit this. Thank you to everyone who helped me in the WIP thread.

This is my first completed pixel piece, and only like my third one over all. I realize it's a lot sloppier than experienced pixel art, but parts of that are intentional in an attempt to simulate the flickering of candlelight and the rest is just because I fail. ;n;

For the weekly challenge. I'm new to pixel art AND any form of dramatic lighting, so it was definitely...challenging. xD BUT it was interesting to do. The concept is that he is lifting the flame from the candle (via magic). Here's a WIP gif. Because I've seen others do it and it is interesting to see the progression of a piece. AND I dunno what to say. So thank you for your time. ^ ^;;

C&C are still welcome, and if I have time to fix something before midnight, I'll do so. Otherwise, I'll probably fix it after the voting week is up.
