I loved his pallet, so the majority is from it.

On the Left:
This was my very first try. I used most of his colors, except for the lightest brown shade, I changed it up a bit.

On the Right:
This is after tinkering around some. I didn't change the shape at all, but more the pallet. I changed the flat black to a dark purple, and made the darkest gray lighter for more contrast. I was hoping it would pop out more.

Comments and Crits?

Side Note:

1) I plan on making an animation for this.

2) Once i get everything down and pact, i will make a tutorial for this. =)
