**Updates below**

Well, here is my second pixel art ever.  Obviously it痴 a work in progress.  I plan to remove the out line, and finish coloring it.  Right now I知 wondering how the basic shape and colors are looking.  Some times I think the orange is a bit much, but other time I like it.  Any one who has suggestions, I would appreciate it!  Thanks in advance.


update...

Here is the concept drawing I did for it: Concept


***edit* 6/07 I wil be updating this guy over the weekend.  Thanks for the help so far!***

his right ankle/heel is looking odd, so is his crotch. and he doesn't have hands, just blobs =o. you should at least suggest fingers in the lineart phase, so you're not stumped later.

I don't think gravity would allow for that pose, it's very good for a second pixel art piece.

Thanks for the crits!  I havent fixed the ankel yet, but i wil for the next post, also and I added fingers.  I have included a picture of the reference i used because I got a lot of comments on his pose.  I Think I知 pretty close to the referance pic, but if you guys see where I知 off, ill switch it up.  Anymore c&c would be great!

uHH...

Your shading is everywhere.
It doesn't seem like you have one primary light source.
On the front of the face there is shade yet on his leg it is highlighted.

Hi!
Thanks for the crits so far everyone, I am very grateful.

Souly:  Thanks for the tip.  Lighting is my weakest link, so I知 trying to improve on it.  I made a lot of changes on this one; it might be too dark now...

I made some changes to his pose, fixed his lower leg, and worked some more on the coloring.  Let me know how I知 doing.  Thanks in advance!

Omg dude, the concept drawing is the shizz! I think you should pixel the same pose of that in say, half the size.

But ignoring that, i feel that now it seems as if there's an imaginary light-blocking wall between his legs. And at the moment, because the upper half of his leg (above the knee) is flatter and higher, it should catch the light differently than the shin, as now it seems that the leg is generally small. I'm also not so keen on the dithering, as it is very contrasted and so makes the image seem very rough in places. Anyways, keep at it.
