Absolutely, but tomorrow, I'm tired.
Yeah I figured you were going off original for the feet, the issue is that those feet really only work with that resolution, even the official double res sprites look a little dumb.

Also I would shade the eyelids if I were you, it looks weird going from shadowed eyes to unshadowed eyelids, assuming they are not completely flat.

I didn't realize it until you said so, but you're right. When I go back to fix the feet, I'll fix his eyelids in the blink animation.

I'm not sure whether I should just darken the whole area a shade or two or actually attempt rounded shading. I'll try both and see what looks better.

Edit: They appear to be mostly flat, so I am not sure whether shading is necessary.

Good, though I'd be careful about adding lighted spots on a character, it's always a bit risky. Sure, it's a part of shading, but sometimes it looks good to just darken certain parts.

You should watch out for pillow shading, I'm seeing it esp. with the first picture.

Yo, where does your Display Pic come from? It's adorable and I'd like to see the full version if I can.

You wouldn't be the first to use that as an Avatar. I don't remember who, but someone else did use it before.
