   Hello

Here's something I made in about 3 hours for a project.  The sun was just to help me remember lighting.

This is the first time I've done pixel art in about 4 years.  I'm pretty rusty, but I really want to get back into it and get better.  Any advice would be much appreciated.

palette credit goes to Tanuki from the 2011 palette compo.

(Edit: fixed the shading on the hat.  It should look more cylindrical now.)

	I'm not sure what shape his hat is.. are you going for a cylindrical shape? if so the shading on the top part should be more \|_\|_\| instead of \|L__\| i like this piece. it's cute =) Iespecially like the little dot buttons. Edited by Partack - 15 March 2012 at 12:38am

	Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Okay, sort of fixed the hat. I'm working on animating it right now, and I might upload the finished product by next friday. Edited by Caesar Jaguar - 15 March 2012 at 8:02pm
