Mario & Luigi styled Magnus Von Grapple

[Nezumi]

Hey everyone! I recently embarked on my first big custom sprite project (the others were pretty small) and I wanted to do a Mario & Luigi style sprite. I went over to the Custom/Edits section and noticed one of my favorite Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door bosses was missing. Using a photo for reference, I managed to produce this first draft with a simple animation.

Naturally, this is an animated version, but any actual submissions would be on a sheet with all the individual frames and parts.
Tell me what you think! My previous experiences with custom spriting taught me that feedback is really useful. Seriously, don't ask to see my first draft of my first project... it's pretty bad in comparison to the final draft.
