Yeah he has really awesome work!

 Ah yes -- I think I'm going to clean up the rest of the lines. Initially I thought it might be okay to leave some thick on the shadowed sides, but it didn't really end up flowing well.

And I'm really sorry that it ended up looking like oceanscented style. I hadn't seen his gallery before now but there is a definite resemblence, especially to ones he did in limited palettes. I hope this isn't too similar though.

It is actually a very different spriting style than I often used back when I pixeled a lot and I've only used it for this collection of creatures. I do a similar shading technique, which the limited colors, for making colorable adoptables, but not in such a cartoonish style. My aim was to make pixel creatures that would fit well stylistically on to something like a Tamagotchi device. The biggest critique of my old style was that it bordered on pillow shading... which hopefully, as an experiment, this helped me shift away from.
