First post, long-time lurker. These boards are so much fun! Like, work-preventing levels of fun 
Here's my maiden voyage. Four idle & slightly cartoony sprites for my game. I'll add the rest as I get to 'em.

I wasn't sure where to start palette-wise, so I just blended the Arne Palette (v19? v20? I forget) with itself @ 50% and picked the colors I liked best, tweaking along the way. I tried to keep colors per sprite under 16.
Critique, comment, eviscerate, what have you
