And Evil shall reign o'er all.

[Hoeloe]

Okay, so, this might take a bit of explaining, but here goes:

I'm unsure as to how exactly this started, but I, along with some friends of mine, have fabricated The Institute of Evil. In this, we have placed out "members" as high ranking officials, with the C.E.O (my friend who first conceived the idea) at the top. This has expanded to include many characters such as The Egregious Professor of Pyro-Nectromantics (based on me, who raises people from the dead and sets fire to them), and The Legasaurus (A cross between a dinosaur and a leg). I was bored, and decided to begin spriting some of these characters, as there is a possibility of a video game based around this idea at some point, so I thought I might get a head-start.

Currently, I only have the C.E.O, but I would like some pointers on the style and the sprite itself first, before making any others. The style is supposed to be quite detailed and reasonably de-saturated, but I fear it may be lacking in readability. The two versions here are one with a black outline, and one without.
