Hey, guys! I've been working on my new avatar lately. Here's a WIP sprite of him in a front-facing pose for reference.

The basic idea is that he's a sort of robotic puppet - a fusion of wood and steel. So why are his hands weird plasticy circles? Well, I guess to sort of give him some level of simplicity. They're kind of like Bomberman's hands, if you will. He has some secret weapon compartments and other robotic-puppet esque features, but he mostly just attacks with whatever he can grab. What do you think of him? How about the shading?
So why is this a WIP? well, as you can see, there is no shading or grain or any of that fancy stuff on the wood parts. This is... because a rodent could sprite wood better than me. Does anyone have any pointers?
Other than that, what do you think of the idea and the design as a whole?
