So, forever ago I was messing around in shishi and saw sprites had a huge amount of room around their head, and i wanted to do something with all that room.

This is the first sprite I've seriously worked on so there are bound to be mistakes with shading, but I think it is far enough along to post.
Well Well, haha. I was considering doing Ashton myself not too long ago, heh. It's a nice base, with some refining it would look pretty kickass. Good job on this.
Definitely not a bad first sprite by any means. I've seen hell of a lot worse. Like Kagebunji said it'll be a great sprite once it's refined. I'd definitely see this one through.
I will be excited to see how this turns out. Keep it up!
