I'm quite new to pixel art as I am mainly a programmer. Any tips on how to improve the quality of my art?
:P

Use the link with the .png or .gif at the end and put it between [img ] and [/img ] (without the spaces) and post it at original size. If you click any image in the forum it will zoom in :)
I like this kind of stuff, and it looks ok, but they could be a lot more interesting.
I would change the timing of the movements and make movements faster or slower, maybe adding some ease-in or ease-out too.
The sprites themselves look kind of plain because of the colors. There isn't a lot of contrast and grey isn't the most interesting color :P

Thank you for the tips!! I tried some things with color (will probably continue tweaking those since I don't really know what I'm doing) :P and will get to tweaking the animation next.
are there any good guides on color usage with pixel art or colors for art in general somewhere online you could recommend?
edit: changed some colors on the first one!

The second one looks better now imo, but the red in the first one contrasts too much and the yellow parts contrast too little from the white and is hardly noticeable at first sight.
I always recommend reading this: http://pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11299
I'm noticing the first one looks a bit too slow. It's ok with the second one because it looks heavier, but the first one looks fast and light so maybe a faster animation would fit better.

I like it. Simple but not plain, makes it easier to look at. Great job!
