I'm not quite happy with this, but I'm not sure why. Critiques would be appreciated, before I go and do umpteen animation cycles of her.
For context, this is the hero sprite for a cute little gardening game. She's supposed to be looking down at the garden she's working on.

Aww, she's so cute. But she needs more... contrast! I like the lineart and color choice. And it doesn't really seem like she's looking down, more to the side. ------------- Every pixel counts, even the dead ones. |

Haha, this is really nice. The cute style is great, and i think the contrast is fine. I think the weakest parts may be the fringe and the legs at the moment.
The fringe could possibly have a less blurred and dark outline? Not much i can say about the legs/feet, but there's just something about them... owel. -------------  http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">

Looks like a pregant women, rather than a little girl.. Unless that's just me. Overall it looks very nice.

heh! I like her! :) her smile seems a bit odd to me tho. I can't tell if she's smiling a big smile or it's just a little half C. I'd either make it one or the other. I think it's a :D smile, in that case the line below the nose should be a bit more darker, I think. I think the style of a bigger body is alright. That may make her look pregnant like skull mentioned but... maybe you could solve that by making a different style of dress? maybe one that has a sort of "top" and a line at the waist http://www.modestapparelchristianclothinglydiaofpurpledressescustomsewing.com/look%20a%20like%20little%20girl.jpg - like this one ? that might help. Awesome work so far. She's very cute. :D I think she should have a matching bow in her hair. ------------- |

Well, I decided not to go through with this game idea -- I like the concept, but I don't love it, and I don't think that would be enough to motivate me in the long haul.
Of course, after reaching this decision, I went and puttered around with the sprite I no longer need:

 ...and I'm not even sure that I like it better. Ah well. FYI, this is the last edit I'm likely to do. Thanks for all the crits, anyway. :)

Wow, the dress is much better now, and the ribbon is a great girlish touch. (erm... that's just me though). I think there's something about the size of the eyes, they look slightly Bride-of-Chucky-ish. 
Apart from that, a great sprite!

My favourite parts are the big eyes.  I know you've finished but if you animated them so that they spin around randomly like googly eyes, I'd love that.
