It's on hold while I work on more character sprites. In the meantime, I started a sprite for my friend. It's a hi-res macro sprite, since his character is a macro. ^.-.^

Size is compared to Midi. I like doing sprites to scale, and he should fit well into most 16px tilesets, especially town tiles. ;3 (Don't worry, he's a gentle giant, not a kaiju.)
Because of how big it is, I'll have to use skeleton animation to move the parts in order to get smooth motion, but it shouldn't look too bad. Current movable parts are the ear, head, bicep, forcep, torso, thigh, shin, heel, and toes. For the torso, I'm thinking I would need some sort of deformation thing to bend the texture itself in order to move naturally; breaking it into segments would undoubtedly look weird, unless I do like I'm doing with the other parts and having the caps be rounded. I'll see what I can pull off with it without him looking too segmented.
Also, have not done the hands yet because I'm not sure what style to use for them and I'm scared to. XD
