My girlfriend and I are working on a game together so that she can learn pixel-fu and so that I can learn Unity and C#. Together we came up with the concept for our character - Strix - a grumpy robot owl in a futuristic setting where hard light is the way to be.

To that end, this is her first pixel art ever, which she asked me to post here for critique while she's at work. She's done plenty of art in traditional mediums as well, but we both want to know what's been done well and what's been done not-so-well here and how to improve. Hopefully in future we'll also both be able to post more pixel art here as we get further into development, as I'm also learning the craft. So basically hi, everyone, it's nice to meet you.
