Whoops! Actually, from my computer, my try is the only one I can't see. What would a "better location" be? I'm using imageshack.

Try Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/)

Imageshack usuall works fine for me, though I think this site has a problem displaying .pngs, which your image is.  Dunno, hope that helps.

For some reason my brain seems to REALLY like that..... O_o Aaaand why hasn't anyone commented on the picture? You've all been commenting on how the picture was posted.....

I'm far from being good but I can point a few flaws in the piece :

-Never ever use blakck outlines inside the sprite
-Use more contrast on the horn palette and less on the brown one
-Since there is too much contrast on the brown palette, the dithering looks obvious and useless
-Your AA is not correct, here is a quick example of how it should be done (left  : yours ; right : correct AA.  Still you should not use pure black)

-There's an overall lack of texture :  is it made of rock ? fur ? plastic ?
