I just thought your colors needed a little bit more fun

The other thing, this is a very messy style with a lot of broken colors and noise.  You may like that, but it might also look better to be simplified.

Yeah, i think so too, but i only have 31 colors,  so i have to share a lot, there are still characters need to be fit in it......

is there a way to get around with it?

i teach myself by studying others' sprites, bcos i cant find whole lot of good tutorials. do you have any tutorials that suggested?

talking about the styles, i would like to learn other styles too. what would you suggest me to start with?

I have to say that i am new to pixeling, so plz bear with me. 


Update:



I updated it in level 1, but i saw everybody else's wip is updated by reply....
so i move it down.

is it looks better now?


This is your last warning!  Please use the Modify button and do not quote images!  Thank you!

any suggestion on this?


To AdamAtomic: Sorry about that, my bad. I only saw it now....

Yes. My suggestion is to study reference and not invent anatomy

Wow, that's a good reference. I'm going to keep that!

On topic: Are you still working on the mockup? If so, I suggest you lower the sat of those yellows/oranges/reds; they're too harsh. I actually think the piece was too soft before, and it's too harsh now, especially the new dark brown, which makes everything look a bit too messy.
Just my thoughts.

the optimized background looks really nice, just not with suck vibrant oranges clashing in front of it, I would soften the tones a bit.

basicaly, they are graphic for an india mobile game




i know there are sort of muscular problems....
and i talked to them, but their concept is like that..... so dunt pick on that....
Notice that there are some highlights lost during gif optimization for internet.
