The squares behind the clouds aren't something I'm a fan of. I love the face of the shark thus far, and that you're already starting to put in subtle things to find in the picture which I always like. Such as the two skulls and crossbones.

The guy's face would look better if it were less rounded and maybe less slack on the reigns would be more convincing.

So what is the objective for this assignment? Is there a perticular thing the assigmetn is based?

ps: You could use it as starting point for Pixelween. Bruce the shark from Jaws v ???

just being motivational.
The rules state its villain v villain from a movie. Bruce the shark is quite the villain, I think. I suppose its not Halloween-Horror-ish but then again under those limitations there is not much to choose from.
anyhoo... the art is cute and the colors are pretty. I'm with Blick on the somewaht retarded looking clouds.

ps. Besides now that I'm through with the PR drive with my former project. I needed a new thing to push 

E: yes MoD, PB had the same question. The shark in Nemo is named after the shark in Jaws. Bruce was never actually used in the movie. Tha's what the cast and crew called him. It stuck.

With the squares not being the focus of the piece, if they were implimented behind everything I think it'd be fighting for dominance against the foreground action.

Uh... which is bad.

update:

Using a proxy to log in to the forum again, I hope the image shows, if not you here is the link: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g209/phototekcub/shurk.gif
and I'll just upload tomorrow from a different computer.

Anyway, a turn for the better, or a turn for the worse?  Criticism/suggestions welcome and appreciated.

I like the swirly sky thing. It's SO awesome. :D You're going to have to add some highlights though to the person to make him stand out from the background.

What the f**k, were you thinking with all those swirls? Jeez I go away for a few days and look at the sh*t that happens 

PS: jk, I think this piece is about keeping things simple and cartoony. As opposed to  overworking the pixelling details so that the details (crab, skull, the skull on the cloud) stand out some. You could turn a frond into a penis since you already have the coconuts. Maybe something inside a swirl. Something in a tooth. Like a puzzle thing or something.
Just my thoughts, ignore as needed. Besides it's not like you're goiing to be creating another 'pixel masterpiece again so soon'. Those happen very rarely, have fun.
