Thank you so much for the great comments. :D

Yes, I will try putting some sand into his hand, very great idea. but I don't think I can do that soon, I'm up to 80% on my latest work, and I can't wait to finish it.

Yes, the border between the sand and the sea is tricky, I could not find a great solution to it, anyone might suggest anything?

And I used black outline on the stitch, because the sea itself is already blue in color, thus without outlining it clearly, I would not be able to show the actual body of the stitch.

Xero: I would take suggestions on what color would be best to use though, I'm not very expert in pixel art colorings, I'm pretty okay with detailing, but coloring is a bit harsh on my side. Please suggest something to make it better. :D

Also, I can't wait to create my own apartment for the pixeljoint thingy hehehe.

Thanks!
