Haha, interesting! I learned to pixel from studying the work of others. Keep it up! Just FYI, I am EmThree ; )

Yeah, i know its very similar ;) 
But, from copying and editing you learn allot to.
But thanks for the info :o

I'll go try and create an own piece now ni this kind of style. Thank you :)

Your piece is very similar to the original photo :x

I think, the colours you added to original palette doesn't fit to it. You should unite the colour saturation.

But I like the barber and the animation. It is nice! :)

The part you referenced heavily looks good because the original looks good. The parts you added seem considerably less polished and not quite in the same style. You should study the original some more and try to figure why the artist did some of the things he did, then use that knowledge to make a piece that's entirely your own.
