Finally, my first attempt at spriting.

Not bad for a first attempt eh. Of course I drew it out first and scanned it but this is my first time actually coloring a sprite ever and then to actually complete it.

No, no, no!
Don't save pixel art as jpg. It really screws up the quality and makes everything messy and, really, pretty much just puts all your hard work to no avail.

But that's bmp not jpg.

Besides the point.. you;ve lost the quality of the image.. It looks rather good, but it'll need to be cleaned up and saved like a gif or png.

It says jpeg for me.
you also should get rid of the huge unused white space.
The sprite itself doesn't look bad indeed. Especially for your first go at pixelart.
Good job.

If you upload BMPs to photobucket they automatically turn into JPGs, fyi.

Thanks, but how can I get rid of the white space? I use Graphics Gale so what would I do?

Cropping/ trimming/ cutting the image wpuld be what you need to do.
I don't even know what it's called in gale (using photoshop) but that is what you need to do.
Hope that somewhat helped :P

Besides the fact that it's a jpeg.

I think his right leg is much too long.
The colors are just much too dark and the contrast between each color is so small that it doesn't even show up.
His upper body also seems a little long in comparison.

sorry im just too tired to fully explain but I tried to salvage it back into a PNG from JPEG reduced the colours a bit and tried to illustrate how I'd go about it. maybe someone else can elabourate on this.
