Harry Handler sprite

Here is the first (and only) sprite I've done so far...and ever.  Using a beta prog called Pixen (which crashes alot and is buggy as hell, but free :) I finished this late last night.  I really like it, I can see alot of work ahead to get this game off the ground, but this was a fun and interesting process, so I'm motivated.

Harry Handler Characters

Ok, so I fought with myself whether to post this or not, and so far a friend and I from H.S. has been collaborating (or at least kicking the idea around) about developing an app for an ANDROID or comparable mobile device/smart phone.  He has the computer know-how and by default I have the artistic talent (we'll see how that goes).  I came up with "Harry Handler" a touch game based on our main zoo handler Harry.  Because this is a work in progress I hesitate to reveal too much to both of my followers' however, I'd hate to see this idea done by someone else and kick myself for not keeping a lid on it at least until I get further into the project...Like say, an actual game screen with pixels! Rest assured that I've played many a time killing app (my pod is bursting at the seams with them) and I think we have something here, or at least a jumping point.  Part of what sells an app are the character designs coupled with the game mechanics and addictiveness; SO here are my main characters so far.  Harry, the lead, Professor Kitten (the damsel in distress) and the antagonist Mortimer.  Yes, he's a super smart yellow gorilla.  DEAL WITH IT.
