So this is my first attempt at pixel art, Please be critical. I want to make good art but I need the help of peers to tell me what is good and what must go. Thanks! http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/703/comedy1.png/">  Uploaded with http://imageshack.us - ImageShack.us |

Hey man, I thought your image was too large so i resized it. The phantom
reminded me of arakune from blazblue. And the scar reminded me of
baiken from guilty gear. Although I'm only making assumptions. I read the titile which makes me think there will be a tragedy phantom aswell. I removed some unnessecary colors, and made some shadow edits.  And a recolor:  http://www.animebox.eu/wallpapers/d/13413-2/guilty+gear+-+016.jpg - |

| Yeah man, I was definitely going for an Arakune feel. and you're right in that assumption. I have two in the works. I really like the re shading ideas, that's definitely an area I struggle with, any tips or good tutorials would be much appreciated! |

here's version 2, took MacNcheese's shadowing as a reference, replaced red paint mark with cracking of mask. Let me know what ya'll think! http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/849/comedy2.png/">  (note I didn't resize the .png so that it is easier for the community to see the scale I made at and to make adjustments, if I should work/upload in a different size please let me know) |

 Here's a shy guy alternative art I'd like you to take a look at, much better referance than my little quick edit. (Source of artist is at the bottom-right) What's so great about this is that it slightly resembles the look you're going for. Take a look at the cracks on the mask, at the shading etc. |

yeah that mask is magnificent! I'm going less for the idea that it's a robed entity, rather a classic "blanket ghost" idea, so it wouldn't have the depth and layers like that, none-the-less its a good ref. for refining my shading on cloth texture, ANYWAY, here is the updated crack, i think it looks more natural, dosn't abruptly stop http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/192/comedy2recolour.png/">  |
