pixel art of my character, wanting to improve

[Kazuya Mochu]

well, just look at the one in your signature. no problem there... you did that image too right? you should be able to fix the nose your self!

yeah but thats a character from a game, i was drawing it from an official art and did that for the likeness of him. this is my own character. oh well ill try and find a way to fix it

heres a little update.in the process of fixing the nose thing(just maybe tidying things up) and i added his mark on the forhead. at first i thought i wouldnt like it but know i do. its supposed to be IV but it might look a little like a III. it was hard trying to make it go with the flow of his skin. is this a good improvement? also if someone knows a good technique for really cool hair please show me or an example by someone else.
edit: i didnt even post the image ! lol

great as always, dont listen to people when they say that you should make it smaller. how fun would it be if all sprites ever made were 16x16 pixels big?

Honestly i think the cheek looks worse when it's all smuged like that, but the marking on the forhead, i'd center it a bit more, it looks like its a bit too much on the left side of his face.

[Ryumaru]

alright, ill just make it back like the other cheek, i liked its bonyness anyway. ill fix the symbol to.

It's good to see that you're still working on this. I know that most of my large scale pixelings are usually abandoned. I am sorry that I was not specific in my comment about anatomy. I was mostly talking about the nose, but I did not realize that half the nose is in shadow. Know that I see that, I think it looks much better.
