This here's the sprite I designed for Mitch's RPG Status Screen. I spliced three Capcom sprites: Eagle for the legs, Fei Long for the upper body, and Jon Talbain for the tail. From there it was just color edits, add a nose and ear, and add more detail to the tail.

I wonder why there's no option for "Pixel" or "Sprite" in the Submission Categories?
