Great piece man, your best yet. I like the texture of the robe, and the expression on his face.
Nice you like it. Overlooked that - head is reworked. Thx.
@skamocore: i changed the things you suggested - the background is now warmer and the pixel square.
Heh, nice avatar, I like the idea. He reminds me of George Costanza from Seinfeld <- This is also a good thing, Seinfeld was awesome.
Why not make him 1 pixel shorter, though, so you can fit his whole head in?
Also, the pixel isn't quite square, you have enough colours to give the pixel some more AA, go for it.
IMO I think something orangier would work better as a bg colour.
NaCl: Thanks for your compliments, esp. for the "yet" .
