First new topic I've posted, trying to grok your pixel-fu ways..

This is for a flixel-based game I'm working on; can't quite nail some of the details & coloring.  Ideally, Cupid should have blond hair but, no matter what skin shades I use, it just gets lost at this resolution; not that my skin shading is good to start with.  



Any tips greatly appreciated; he's going to be scaled to 64x64, but I'm working in 32x32 to retain that blocky old-school flavor.  

This is such a great community - thanks in advance!
