Pixel Art / Re: Need some help with colours (NES palette)

I think the character is floating one pixel too high on the ground.
Other than that it looks great.

Pixel Art Feature Chest / Re: [OC][CC][Newbie] Idle animation, something just doesn't seem right, HELP!

I did an edit to the arms of your animation. I tried to get the shading slightly changed, so you didn't get the banding effect.
Edit: My program made it slightly faster than what it was before for some reason, and I don't know how to fix it :/

I am kinda a noobie to pixel art too, but I noticed you have some serious banding going on in the arms, so try to fix that.

So what do I do from this point in the piece?
@Manupix Wow. That artist that you linked is crazy good! And he pretty much started from scratch many times.
@Ryu Yeah, I think I won't change the size this time, but I will definitely think about that in the future. I will do an edit on the grass color later today.

I might be too much of a newbie to critique, but I think you need to make the shading colors darker then they are right now. At first glance, I thought the wood on the box was all the same color.

Thank you Ryumaru, I can definitely see the improvement as well. And I think you are right about going larger, so I can work on readability.
--------- merged double post ---------
@Ryamaru
Do you know a simple way I can resize this image onto a twice as big background, preferably keeping the layers? I use Pyxel Edit and I want to use your advice.
Edit: I found out how, but it is getting really stressful. I have to re-draw everything
Maybe I will just stick to my normal resolution. and do a bigger one on my next piece.

I am just getting confused about the shading now. Could you maybe show an edit to the picture to tell me what you are talking about? I am just not getting any of this. I have done fairly well with shading in other mediums i.e. traditional paper and pencil as well as digital art. but I don't know what I am doing wrong here. I really thank you guys (particularly Manupix) for helping me get this going. I would have scratched the whole pixel art thing a while ago without this help and community.

I finally have something I can show you guys.
Is the shading still good with the statues? I think the farthest back ones may be off.

I am having more trouble than I thought I would on this piece! I tried to put the image to the basic cylinders to shade, as Manupix said, but I couldn't find a good way the statue looked like that.
As for the tree, I think I may have fixed the shading, but now how do I add texture? And how do I shade the statue now?
@Astraldata for the monkey, would I higher the contrast with hue, or with saturation? The statue wasn't really going for a monkey, but just a tribal statue thingy (mainly inspired by the jungle picture talking about blocking out pixel art pieces tutorial or something)

Ok. So I tried to take Agent00x's advice with the tree shading and the 'boulders'. I decided to go back to just focusing on the foreground. 
I think the grass looks ok when just seeing this, but not with the original background. I also added a monkey
@Astraldata does the dithering work well in this case, with the statue? I really like the way dithering looks, but I don't really know when to use it yet.
