Brilliant, thank you.

I tossed you some more C+C over at /r/pixelart: http://www.reddit.com/r/PixelArt/comments/1hv3w8/ccnewbiefirst_pixel_art_in_a_while_need_help/ in case you don't wander over there much.
+ a quick edit:
3. Many do, many people do for more professional or paid projects.
4. If you look at any spaceship it won't be square. What you need to do is look at some examples. With a spaceship I have found that many are wider than they are high so for a spaceship I would suggest for this size perhaps a 48x32 canvas. The no square thing isn't really a rule but it shoud depend on what you are drawing.
6. Try to, it helps a lot
7. Could I see what this pallette can be used for. If you use someone elses pallette and if it is good see how the have used highlights and etc.
10. If it an alien object I would make it much more obvious by using brighter, nearly neon green.
11. What I mean is that be original in what you create not necessarily in the style. Nearly all (well not really) pixel artists have their own style whether it be cartoony, really realistic, dark colours or any more. Some pixel artists are easily able to adapt between these and the best can.
