I'm making a game with my friend and will be doing the grapics. It's a pixel game, and I'm not sure of the dimensions yet. But to start out I'm just messing around and am trying to improve my skills in pixel art. This is one of the first creatures for the game I've made. I'm looking for any sort of tips or comments on it. Also I know it's very basic right now, I'm gonna be working up to a larger scale.

Thanks!

PS - If anyone could tell me how to properly upload images that'd be great! Thanks!

the leg closest to us (its left leg) should be the longest. and the shadows/highlights need to be a bit more drastic, right now its kinda unnoticeble
