This is rather cute, i love your style and color choice. I feel like the characters should be at like half the size they're at now. When i looked at the image before i looked at the characters, i expected much smaller characters, unless you make the terrain bigger so it won't feel so cluttered. Maybe i just thought that due to lack of space? Still, it'd be easier to make the characters smaller. Also, it seems to lack shading, but since this is a WIP that's to be expected. Just don't forget it!
Nice job. How long have you been pixeling?
Cheers!
