It's a peasant woman holding a basket. I'm using a monochrome palette containing five colors.

What a nice job. My only crit is the feet area wher the back bit that shows skin looks like an error at 1X maybe the skirt should be a px shorter? The front foot should have more shadowing and generally speaking the shoes are ugly looking and somewhat unfeminine.
Watch when you color your outlines too because in certain spots I can see where you where going but at 1X it reads like missing pixels and/or strays.

I liked your first submission (your avatar)and when I added to the gallery had no time to PM you to let you know that in Pixeljoint the small preview file when its over 10k in size it does not show on the front page (new pixels, weekly showcase or HoF) in case you wondered, k.

I disagree with the front foot needing more shadowing. If her foot is sticking that far out, I think it could have a little less. Also, make sure it's even with the other foot - that is, her heel may be raised, but are her toes on the ground?

Been working on the feet. Tried to fix the stray/missing pixels, too.

I love the shadows around the wrist, but I'm wondering if the upper arm shadows are a bit too dark. Also, I don't think the skirt would wrap behind itself. Or, at least not so drastically.

I was fine with the other shoes, but these have a definitely more 'cloggy' feel, which is probably more peasant..ly. Nice update!
