Wow, thats really great. I love your newer color choices! I'm not sure what could be done extra, but you could always make more!

Ok, so me and a friend are making a manga. Clockwork Industria. It's going for the steampunk look. I decided to pixel our hero, and this is what came out so far. It's a wip. I have minimal shading on it, but I posted it to make sure I got anatomy and colors right, because I would like to improve on my AAing and shading with this piece. I had some AA on it, but it was lighter than the board, so I took it off. Any help in that would be appreciated. Crits more than welcome! As are edits.

Ok, but for the most part, lineart isn't good for a beginner like myself to start with? I dunno much about forms, etc. which is why I wanted to know why lineart is "useless" or "discouraged". Note: I put did put those in quotes.

I see. But it's discouraged in pixelart?

Ok, so I'm redoing graphics for my team's game called Frozyn. Firstly, here is the main character, Patrick O'Grady:

Now, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have many problems, save for shading...Me and my team went through so many, so I don't want to change him, unless someone thinks he will look better in a certain way. I want to maintain the style, though.

Now, the real reason of this post. The Spydermine. Here is the old/new comparison:

'Blind' Version [No headlamp "eye"]


A teammates edit, which, in my opinion, looks less distinguishable from my original...

Ok, so the sprite is of a mine with legs, with a body of snow, and sticks of dynamite with a timer on them. In the game, the mine will collide and either light the fuse to explode, or explode on contact. In any case, I'm simply trying to give you an overview of what it is/does. Now, I guess what I'm looking for is some critique and general feedback, because I want it to remain the same shape/size relatively, yet I feel that I can improve on it, yet not sure how. So, any help is greatly appreciated.
