This ones messy, very messy,
Almost no flow is visible, the sprite itself is hard to make out out and the light source is in the wrong place.
Maybe its just me but just because it may look horrible in colour it does not mean you cannot make it look cool by mixing around with some gradient maps.
I'm sorry for the rather bad comment but its better than me saying "wow so cool bro"
