I'm a complete amateur, but I want to learn how to pixel.

Great start! I did an edit to highlight the importance of a more definite light source.



I couldn't help but give her some little eyeballs lol. The left leg feels a bit odd up close, but makes more sense when the viewer backs up. The overall resolution that this piece is displayed at will effect the readability to some degree.

Hope this was helpful!

I made a color change as a test right before I saw your post. I will give the light source method a go. At one point I was thinking about giving her a nose. Just a simple dot. The big problem will be animating. :(

A color that provides more contrast:

Two more edits:



A futuristic one:


Don't know where I will take the art style for the platformer. It will either take place in the prehistoric period or in the far future.

I am still working on this. The blue is just suit decoration. That is supposed to be the arm she shoots out of though so choosing that was a conscience decision.

I made an edit purely because I suck at sprites and wanted to experiment. Feel free to disregard all the things I changed/did:
