I really like the stance and viewpoint. The hand positions appear to be well-formed.

There are two glaring problems here. The first is the shading of the green areas. You only used to tones of green, and that's fine, but if you're only going to use two tones, you should probably consider using your lighter tone more often. As it is, his legs look a bit flat because of this. ]

The second is a perspective problem. This image is 3/4 overhead (I think. I can never remember the names of these things), so things on the ground should appear smaller than things a yard and a half in the air. His right boot, and the rest of his lower right leg, seems to be disproportionately large compared to his hands. 1 pixel smaller in both dimensions would probably suffice.

The lineart here is very well executed. Your cousins and immediate relatives ought to be proud of you. should be proud of you.

Perhaps everyone should get five stars, cause you're all five stars special!

That made me shiver just now.


Anyway, this should be just fine as a pixelation until Pixelation is back. The only problem is that smilies aren't automaticly off. I'd much rather have a colon P than a  .

They contrast with each other like hell! What's a colorful cartoon pimp doing in Castlevania?

Getting away from the question of whether or not they go together, why don't we look at the actuall art. It's easy enough to say that thay don't match. What I really want to do is talk about the environment and background a bit, but I have to adress the pimp first.

That pimp is all fine in his own right. good use of color theory. There are a few nagging problems, though. Fiest and foremost, that stace makes him look like he just had back surgery. You might want to change that so that his arms rest at his side. Unless, of course, your intention was for him to have just had back surgery.
The shape of his shirt doesn't work. It's longer at the back than it is at the front. Is that some kind of pimp thing?

I'm probably safe in assuming that the environment is bassed on Castlvania. If you look at a screenshot of any Castlvania game, you'll notice that everything is crammed with detail (except Circle of the Moon).



Here's a screen from Castlevania: Harmony of dissonance. Maybe you can use that as a refrence.
