I'm making an icon for the game. How can I correctly arrange the pixels to make the image correct? Thank you.

Start by smoothing out the shapes made by the various colour, get rid of the noise. Then, once that is done, add some texture back in where it's needed (and nowhere else). You may also want to get rid of some of the harder-to-discern colours, as they just make working on the piece more complicated. |

Mohawk needs texture.

| For the mohawk, consider not having any outlines inside of it. Hair generally doesn't have very clear edges, even when it's shaped like that. Instead, convey the form of it with shadows. |

Whoa, this is such an improvement compared with the original! Nice work :D There are still some rough areas, for example the earring could be polished, the bottom of the top lip doesn't need to be that dark, the diagonal line in the background could be straightened by having 3 pixels to the side on every part of the stairs unlike the occasional 2pixel jags popping up now, and the text is a bit hard to read (why is it rotated away from him? The opposite might work better) I see you've already resubmitted it, and I'd be happy to approve this for the gallery :) |

I'm still a beginner in pixel art, and I do not know much. |
