In that particular stance he looks like he's being crucified. :D You may want break the symmetry of arm and leg positions in the pose, and give him a more interesting stance.

Yarrr. I... sort of attempted starting on this.



I wasn't sure how to show wise-cracking, so I just went for somewhat angry. Except I haven't finished obviously, hence it just being scribbled lines, oh well. Feel free to color and fix my line art!

It looks nice, but there's still no possible way a person's leg could twist like that unless her joints were broken. Adjust the left leg (our right), so that her foot won't point inwards like that. It just doesn't look natural.

Other than that, it's pretty awesome stuff. Good work.

I think the original was fine, but I have no problem with the slightly altered colors, as long as gradients are NOT considered. Gradients make baby jesus cry, especially when the style was intended to be cel-shaded.

The only problem is, as Camus said, it'd help to see more sprites in this style. Possibly an animated version of this sprite would make it a that much more awesome, like a dance or seductive walk of some sort.

Wikipedia knows all.

Pixel - "A pixel (a portmanteau of picture element) is one of the many tiny dots that make up the representation of a picture in a computer's memory. Usually the dots are so small and so numerous that, when printed on paper or displayed on a computer monitor, they appear to merge into a smooth image."

Dither - "Dithering is a technique used in computer graphics to create the illusion of color depth in images with a limited color palette (quantization). In a dithered image, colors not available in the palette are approximated by a diffusion of colored pixels from within the available palette. The human eye perceives the diffusion as a mixture of the colors within it. Dithering is analogous to the halftone technique used in printing. Dithered images, particularly those with relatively few colors, can often be distinguished by a characteristic graininess, or speckled appearance."

Sprite - "In computer graphics, a sprite is a two-dimensional image or animation that is integrated into a larger scene."

Pixel Dump - ...Well okay, it doesn't know everything.  Not in the wikipedia, but I'm pretty sure this term denotes sketches and random artwork done using a pixelling technique to draw them. "Dump" probably connotes they don't necessarily reflect the artist's best work, and display their skill in its unpolished form.
