I don't mean to be a jackass to either of you, lol, so keep that in mind.

I'm sorry about the lack of "lobsteriness", But I can change the face if you want.
Its a quality sprite but in all honesty its not what we are looking for for the fire lobster. We might be able to find another place for it however so do not lose hope, lol. Thanks!

A couple issues with this (and I am sorry because I know how long and hard you work on your sprites). For one there is no transparency on the adult version so it seems out of place to do it on the juvenile. Now you might be thinking "Well then I can pretty quickly add some to the adult and everything will be great" but in truth the transparency on the juvenile makes it kind of hard to determine what is going on with all of his different frills. The thing we really need to strive for is clarity above all with such a small medium to work with. I would say to maybe get rid of the small wings behind the eyes and stick with just the side frills and then make those non-transparent... also the lips seem out of place and the adult doesn't have eyes... lol. Yikes, sorry dude. I really do like your work though.
