Frustration levels are really high at the moment, my phone sucks and keeps deleting everything so I've tried posting this 4 times, having to completely rewrite it everytime.....
So bare with me if it gets incoherent, I'm still trying because i see it as important to update everyone on What's happening and reassure you all I've not just abandoned or forgotten about this thread or the community on a whole (had some feedback and an edit to post at the time my net stopped),
okay firstly the reason why I've been absent a week, I've had some gripes with my internet provider some rather adverse issues, that they have failed to aknowledge or even attempt to remedy them, due to this and the fact the issue was contributing to that i couldn't get online, and not to mention the outsourced indian customer service who obviously couldn't care less, i cancelled the service, i should if i can deal with the amount of follow up and hassle, be making a complaint to the telecommunications ombudsman, other than that, the culmination of recent events has led to the decision to move into a new place, so I'll be dealing with all that that entails.. And right now i'm struggling to get this darn phone to do what i want it too, i'm posting from mobile if you hadn't already figured that, actually first chance I've had to read the replies too,okay, now on-topic;@Jad thanks for clarifying the situation on the page views, now that i know its normal its not as worrying, also thanks for your explanation on why you think not many people have, and i'm pleasantly suprised at the conclusion that my stuff is reasonably solid, coming from someone with a portfolio such as your own thats quite a confidence boost especially with how amateur I consider I am. And yeah that purple diamond eyesore was emitted pretty quickly, it never even made it into the game assets I've been systemattically compiling,
@zez thanks for taking the time to critique, that sheet was mostly experimenting, the mid row with indistinguishable objects in hand was just me experimenting on what type of weapons and items i could do in such a low pixel space, most fall flat and just don't read well, as for the far right, that started as an experiment to see how i could change the look of his armour without just a simple palette change, it was actually the armor of a milatant organisation the player later infiltrates in guise, the overall design of their outfits have changed, I've since adjusted alot and a few things you mentioned have probably been solved but I'll be sure to experiment with your suggestions, and lastly your the first of to perceive his cannon as phallic although i should have seen it as inevitable, in game with the swaying animation and while seen being tilted in the turn transition which i somehow nailed, in game its hard to see any phallic resemblance as It's establshed in 3 dimensions by the time your in that view,
also seeming as i can't upload anything from my phone(not through a lack of trying) I'll give a brief run down on some the assets I've created, some NPC sprites, (including an amphibian alien race with an unnatural obsession with headwear, most everyone will have a different hat or cap or form of headhear, even a Zelda-esque item trading side quest involving hats xD might even open a thread when i get internet back, doing some form of collab attempt to sprite as much unique hats as possible for them
)
also another NPC worth mentioning is the biologist who later accompanies you in your travels, and gives you a device to incapacitate alien wildlife from the various planetoids so you can capture and bring to him for analysis and suitable compensation for your efforts, I could keep going on about the concept and ideas, but I'll try not too, also done a multilayered parallax background, and the space ship itself, which Is 80-90% done and no matter how much i redesign usually ends up looking like Samus's smart ship, which i guess isn't inherently bad, has a descending elevator, tried 3 main ideas, steel hydrolic shafts but looked too clunky, some steel tethered cables, and a tractor beam, the latter a are decent, its the wires at the moment, and I've done some other misc tiles and props, would be better if you could see but regrettably seems i won't be able to for awhile,
probably forgot to rewrite some stuff, and sorry if the formatting is horrible hard to do on my phone, also the memory doesn't allow me to store more than 1000 characters so I've had to do write 4 individual txt files through a java app, or i would have lost it all again,..... i need a new phone :roll:

and that's the host I use, it
hopefully i can pull something decent off, might even do a WIP thread on it.
glad people are digging the style I've found a primative way of uploading something, my phone's memory stick registers as corrupt on PC so i can't do that bluetooth don't work data cable drivers don't work either hmmm, so i took some snaps with my crappy mobile camera so you guys could take a look at some of the progress, forgive the blasphemy that is uploading images of this poor quality, especially on a pixel art forum...
, also wasn't much to reply too i suppose 
,thanks for your patience, hope those that read it didn't judge me too harshly, because i did come across as a bit of an ass...

ie floating in front of the character not around its waist you should keep it synced with the sprite's movement and keep the shading of it consistent across frames,
