Yes, that kitty is either very wet or very sharp.

I'm also not very sure about the whiskers on (your) right. They're a little odd.

I kinda like the bucket though. Just needs smoothed out.

I think that the bucket is fine just bring in the 2nd dark green shade in a little more. Also for the hair i suggest you try to make it in clumps, never try to work on individual ones

That's why it's cute, not why it looks weird.

Dirty puns should be a bannable offense.

Clean the bucket more.  Those things are usually symmetrical, no?

Elongate your AA pixels on the sides of the bucket. AA the rope? Perhaps darken some of it's edges or suchlike when outside the bucket so it's more visible. Perhaps  add another colour between the highlight of the bucket and the midtone. Darken the first shadow of the bucket colours.

You need a colour to go between the tan colour and the brown colour on the cat. The dark brown is also too close to the black colour, it should be lightened. You need to work on your ramps basically, the rope's colours are too light for the shadows. Etc etc. Neaten up your dithering too, and make it longer lasting and more useful.

The background and frame are horrible imho. :) I don't know what you could put in their place though. Also, the cat seems incredibly emotionless, it's kinda scary and statue-like... check out some cat references with some life in them to get a feel for what kinda ways you could add expression there are.

Hope that makes sense, this is a nice little piece, keep it up!

and increase the darken areas arround the face of the kitty.

I thin its the best one so far. maybe the nose could be more like an Y. and y was thinking about making the eyes even more smaller they are now, but i'm not sure... about the white line, as I see, you need to make it more subtle...

I can't tell if I'm making improvements any more!  Maybe I'll give it a day before I work on it some more....

MAke him smile!
