@TRUEvector I won't be touching up these past 2 pieces, but it's def something to keep in mind for future works.

@IvoryFalcon Yeah, colors have always been a bit of a shortcoming of mine, gonna up the contrast before calling anything done in the future! Thanks for the suggestion.

Didn't really give it much thought when animating this but now that's been pointed out I can see how big of an issue it is. I'll be sure not to use easy cop-outs next time I'm making something like this. Thanks a bunch for your input.

@NoeleGrosie Thank you! And like Manupix said, 12 frames.

@Manupix You're right, I wanted his lower body to have some movement but I couldn't think of a better solution. Thank you for your feedback tho!

Reminded me of Sir Artorias from DS at first glance haha-
Nice colors and animation!
 

Very interesting animation effect, my fave pumpkin thus far-

@Pix.Ed. - Thank you so much! That was exactly the feeling I was going for with this piece.

The subpixelling on this is just gorgeous, I could stare at it for hours on end. Great job Frar!

@andrae - I don't blame you, I meant to make a robot but I was afraid I would make it look too generic. Although I think I went a lil' bit overboard to the point where you can't tell what it is anymore whoops. Thanks though!

@Ubisavis - Taking a step back looking at it now it does kinda resemble a wine bottle haha- Thank you!

@Mandrill - Thanks Mandrill!

@Lyud - Thank you so much. Though I'm sure that before the week is over something else will get posted that will top this by a mile haha.

Thanks! And this is the full version haha, didn't do anything beyond the max canvas size for avatars.

Thanks!

@Adcrusher - Thanks! I appreciate it.

@binderbear - Thanks for the input! I made the eye one shader lighter so hopefully it doesn't look as washed out haha.

I would like to clarify that the screen shot shown was the first WIP I sent. The last thing I worked on was actually this (after some other designs, of course): http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/227/e/d/asgsh_by_omentis-d7v9rw8.png

The left one is what I started by showing him, the right one is what it ended up looking like after all the editing.
I will also state that I have our full conversation on skype and not once did I call him any names, or 'acted like a teenager'.
As soon as I read that there would be an exchange of services for money, I acted in the utmost professional fashion, being 17 doesn't make me an idiot, just young.
 

Having read through all the comments I truly apologize for having posted this here, I should've either read the rules better before posting this or kept it to myself, I acted way too immaturely towards the whole thing and I am sorry.

I'm really thankful towards everyone who left their thoughts/opinions on the matter, I learned a lot and hopefully I won’t make the same mistakes again. It was really insightful to learn about your own experiences and how to go about with dealing with cases like this.

Again I want to apologize for making such a big fuss about this, I should’ve figured that loads of people have gone through the same situation I was in already. I hope I didn’t leave a bad taste in anyone’s mouth…
Thank you to everyone for your kindness and help towards an inexperienced amateur like myself.

I agree with you on both regards, looking at this now the animation does feel kind of wonky, I'll consider remaking it sometime in the future.

@Zarto & Terff - Thank you! :D

@caca - It's a bit tricky to explain, but if you want an example take a look at what's happening with the animation in the face! You can google for a more in-depth explanation if you'd like to know more about it.

Thanks dude! And thanks for the 'eye opening' comment on my last work haha-

Thank you!

Oooh I see what you mean, I wasn't even thinking about that when making this. 
I'm gonna try to switch out the leg cycles and hopefully that'll fix it haha. Thanks for pointing that out.
 

@Damian - Thanks man! I appreciate it. :D

@Zizka - Thanks! I will try to do so haha-

Yes it is! It was my first attempt at it too hahaha-

Thank you! :D

@MFlanaga - Thanks for the input! I'll make sure to take that into consideration when remaking this.

@miro42 - I see what you mean by that and that's actually something that was kind of bugging me after I finished this haha, I'll try to correct that soon! Thanks!

Hmm I guess you' have a point, I shouldn't be worrying about how long it will take me to finish this haha, I'll keep playing around with different styles and see what I'm confortable with the most then.

Thanks! The animation is what took the longest to make, it always is hahah.
