  I'm certainly no expert but from the position of the hand the gun looks too flat should probably have a little more angle to it.  The shading and hair seem a little flat as well...I like the piece though fer sure.

  Keep it up!

Her stance seems very similar to that of the sprite in this thread, especially from the waist down... So the tips given there, (for example, lack of gesture, as said by EyeCraft) could also apply to this piece somehow. :)

Your skill in basic shading has improved however, as far as I can tell.

Woah it really is like that other sprite!

As others have pointed out:

- Fix the gun
- Fix the hair: looks like you've tried to paint it strand by strand, which is not feasible at all in pixel art, you should rather try to block some areas of hair
- Her left leg is a little too big on the end

but pretty good sprite overall : D

First example that came in my mind, the Iconoclasts -> http://img.brothersoft.com/screenshots/softimage/t/the_iconoclasts-450429-1302157406.jpeg

see how the girl has her hair kinda "blocked out"?
