Heya everybody!

So this is going to be my first post, and actually this is my first try at pixel art at all. So bear with me. 

I'm working on a game with some people, Driftwood, and I'm the monster idea guy, but I wanted to start doing the pixel art, and this is what I have come up with:


It's called a spore creature because I'll mostly have it spit danger spores out of it's mouth.

Right now, I'm not happy with it, so any critiques I could get would be awesome.

This is a mock-up screenshot of it in the game. Sort of:


See it doesn't really look like it belongs.

It doesn't really look very good at all, but hey, this is seriously maybe the 2nd time I've ever made any pixel art ever. 

Oh and I don't think the ground in the actual game will be that flat, so the unevenness on the bottom shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you so much for the help!
