Well, I haven't been here in a long time  :P
But I just got back into pixelart, and I'm here to ask the public(you) if these lines are okay anatomy wise before i refine it and color it :P

It's supposed to be my avatar when its done, and so I just dont want the anatomy to be screwed up xD
c&c is always welcome :)

P.S. I know it's not very readable as is, I'm hoping that color will fix that... Just so you know, the demon/devil is holding a man in his hand...and saying my favorite chatspeak phrase: "ORLY?"

EDIT//
I colored the demon a little bit and added a background, but its still obviously a wip....i cant come up with a good pallete so help would be much appreciated :)

EDIT 2//
Well, i finished it...thanks? lol.
c&c is still welcome...

Why don't you keep the old background and the new demon. It's very hard to read now, imho.

Howdy. Anatomically, the forearms could use some work. The elbow, also. The highlight on his skull is contradicting, I think. With your shading, the shadow tones and highlight tones are too mixed together, creating noise and breaking the form. Transition from highlight to shadow in accordance to the lightsource, rather than 'blob' highlights.
