*nods* I know, but I just can't figure out -how- to do it. How do I start to edit that?

Magical drop? No... (now I'm curious though).
Currently I'm playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance... but I started this mock-up before I started playing again, so that's not connected either.
edit: here's what I made out of all the edits

I agree with you about the eyebrows, don't worry. I never intended to make them dissappear.
That's a good edit.
I forgot I follow an evening philosophy course, so I can't edit today, but I'll try to put all the pieces together tomorrow, before the Sinterklaas celebration.

I'm still at school, but I've read the comments and I just wanted to add the girl was originally supposed to look a lot more tough. My version ended up far too innocent. I wanted the girl to be the warrior and the guy to be the more friendly mage.
And no arzosah, his name's not Phocas =P Both names include an L, an N, an A and a Y. The girl's name is two syllables, the guy's name is three syllables. You're making progress though haha.

Ah that looks better.
I went wrong with the palette because I did the top part of the thing first. I should have started out the other way around I see.
I'll try to edit when I get back from school.

I edited the shoulders, the ears and I tried the eyebrows. Did it work at all? I couldn't create any acceptable noses...
(I could swear they had ears at some point, I don't have a clue what I did to them along the way.)
Also, a palette edit is fine, but I do kind of like my icy world as it is...

Pixel Art / Christmas Competition Mockup

*takes a deep breath* I admit I am slightly scared to have this torn to pieces, but there's no other way to improve.
Anyway, this is my first ever try at a mockup and it's been great fun, only, I failed with the characters. I'm not really looking for critique on the top part, but those characters down there, they really bug me. I was going for a chibi anime sort of thing, but they just look creepy and awkward.
I'm obviously having a lot of trouble with the hands (and thus arms), so it'd be great if someone could tell me how to fix that (so far people only agreed they need to be fixed, but no one can quite explain how).
And then there's the other things of course like eyes, mouth, depth, the shading of the clothes, the light coming from the magic, etc. I -know- what's wrong, I just don't know what to do about it?
Right, also, the stupid swirls at the bottom are actually the character's names and they're supposed to be a mystery. Just saying, because they've been mistaken for terrible clouds.
Lets' see, what else. I'm also not too happy with the potion bottles and the shading on the kraken, the dithery stuff on the clouds and the big visible difference between the light and dark blue in the dark part of the sky.
I've evidently spent a lot of time on this already, but I've run out of solutions to my problems.
Ok, that should be enough explanation.
edit: and it's not my secret santa ^^; it for the competition thingie by Shonegold at dA, because I needed some distraction anyways.

But oh well, lets enjoy the freedom, right? Since they're so vague, they are not allowed to complain about the horrible twist we can give to a simple keyword.

I sign up!
I really like creative interpretations of a character of mine, Ekyra. She's Goddess of Gravity, she's got dark curly hair with golden decorations, she wears mostly red (and purple) and she is always holding onto a potion bottle called 'phoenix elixir'. Hope that's not too specific. Edit: Meaning, anything that's remotely inspired by her would be fun (phoenix, potion, mythology, rpg mockup, temple etc.).
Edit II: Oh and I'd like to add in that I am a very active lurker and I do pixel daily, so please don't worry about my postcount here.
