If there won't be any more objections within the next 24 hours (I waited this long, a little bit more isn't going to kill me) I'll go ahead and put it in the gallery... hopefully for the last time. 

It's not bad. But I already tried something like that (the highlights on the face and hair), and it got shot down, so I took it away.

And I played around with both really bright colors and really dim colors. The current colors, I think, are bright without being too bright. Since I am going for a 'cyber glow' effect (omnipresent lighting).


I'm trying to mix the two together.

I suppose it won't kill me to take another look at it. I feel like I'm running in circles now chasing my own tail.

Yeah that seems to have become apparent. 

May I suggest increasing the canvas to 64x64 pix, that's pretty standard avatar wise ;]

You could add light sources around him without necessarily making him bigger, but just raising him up to the center, ergo we'd be able to put the pic in context. Just a thought if you'd don't see it working then don't compromise you're vision man ;] Mind if I do an avvy in a similar vein? (never played Phantasy Star though :/

maybe its a bit late, but honestly, the animation doesn't do anything for the image, and rather it makes it look a bit... bad. in resume, the animation is pointless, IMO.
