A couple of references were apparently enough to carry out doing a basic form of the guy (I could have made him more "skeletal", but revenants were never fully skeletal to begin with), but same cannot be said about my shading. I'd guess I may end up leaving shading for someone else eh.
Spoiler: The same sprite before I tried shading (click to see content)
Soon I'll return to regularly trying to do more rough animations of Dink unless something else would distract me.
