Man, this is like my third one this weekend. I've just been crankin' out the art, hoping for suggestions. I think I have finally nailed down a pixel style that I am good at. ;D What do you think?

[EDIT]
Just fixed some thing, made it work more with "anatomy", and made the collar more visible.

it's not shaded, even tho you're using four different colors for both pallets (which is probably too many at this scale). shading would help a TON to in this, giving it a lot more depth, helping tell the hair from the arms etc.
actually, for your colors, even zooming in, I barely notice the contrast between a lot of them. at this scale, probably two reds and two greys, collapsing to a same purply color, would be all you need. that brings me to the color scheme, actually: there's not a connection between the red and grey, so I'd recommend adding a bit of red to your metal, it might make it fit more, giving a lot of unity to the piece.
finally, I'm confused on what this is: with the lack of contrast/shading, all i see is like a head and eye and chains, everything else is really indistinguishable. the line art also contributes to this, its really sloppy on the arms.
my biggest recommendation: don't "crank things out" when you're trying to learn. focus on making one piece the very best it can be, instead of doing as many as possible. you'll learn a lot better that way, that's how I learned. and I think with a better single piece, you'll learn techniques which will help all your pieces look a lot better, more developed, and more "mature."
to be blunt, and sorry if it's rude: right now the witch / fox / this thing all seem unfinished to me, but you've just moved past em. you say you're happy with em, I understand, but you could do a lot better (heck, I could too!)

I cant tell what it is.

I feel like the image is not interesting in itself, comparing to the one Decroded posted you can see that the angle of lighting gives it an interesting shade and therefore, a more pleasing to explore visually. (even though I don't like it that much)
The one thing that comes into my mind is the game 'I have no mouth and I must scream', that's where you get creative with the whole 'tortured soul' theme. :blind:
