I claim this post in the name of my Pixel art.

The one in the OP is amazing and I'm jealous that it was only 5 bucks, but the winking dog thingy (second one) looks like it has a fair amount of pillow shading. That's the only problem with it, though. Clean up the shading a bit and it'll look absolutely horrorshow.

ZennaBug: the newest one was about 6 hours total.
Stuntmang: I see what you mean about the shading, I hate how that turned out, it seems to always happen when I work on something yellowish.  [size=78%] [/size]
