You're definitely taking a step in the right direction, it's moving towards a far better outcome.

Anyway, the first issue that needs to be adressed is contrast and saturation. I know you want your colours extremely bright to look like comic book characters, but that doesnt mean they can't be saturated. Contrast. Alot of your colors have a good amount of contrast, but such tones like your skin tones need more contrast. Otherwise you're fine with this issue.

Heres a quick edit adressing a few issues


The pose. The pose you're trying to go for is good and will work right, but the way youve brought it out can be improved. I'm liking what you're going for, i just changed it up a bit.

Anatomical issues. The headshape is more octagonal than anything else, so i changed it a bit into what it should like more.

face issues. a few of these, made a edit as to what they could like.

I'm not awesome at pixel art but i tried my best to give you an example of a step in the right direction. I like the direction you're going in though

you dont notice there is a gap between the legs. thats how he moves. there is roots hanging from there just making it look like 1 leg

a toggleable tilebox option where it shows you the boundaries of a box on an image


example you have a 64x64 image, and it shows you the boundaries of all the 16x16 boxes in it


if you dont get it i can just draw something up quick

computer crashed
and though psp7 usually recovers most if not all of the open files because it crashed twice in a row i only have the first half of the images (generally i have about 200 images open at once, i'm too lazy to close any)

if you do 15 xhunter ill work around it to do 37 and/or 38
