I got bored at work and whipped a bunch of these out.  Here are the ones from the original MegaMan:
 
  MM1
  (first edit)
 
 
  MM2
  MM3
  MM4
  MM5
 
I stuck with a canvas of 16x16 for most, but the ones that needed more head room got a 16x20 canvas instead.  I also limited each one to about 12 colors and reused as many colors as I could between characters.

I really really like them ! I made an edit on megaman and cutman to show you how to shade it well :

That looks much better.  How did you come up with the pallet?  That's something I haven't figured out yet...

Don't use bright colors, not any more

don't make the shade like on a piece of paper, study the chape and shade the character in consequences

color choice skills come with time

some people sometimes say my color choices are good (sorry if it sounds boastful) but I am no way near to mastering it

but here a few tips:

experiment because if you don't it will take a longer to get good

lower your saturation also remember this the lower the saturation the more serious the mood of you piece becomes... but never have it at the top

use a medium amount of contrast

hope all of this has helped

but otherwise the sprites are good and I am in love with the lineart

I am definitely going to do as much of the series as I can...
 
I already had Protoman and Dr. Light.  I whipped up Dr. Wiley too:

Yeah, same here.  So how do you think they're turning out?  Any more C&C, or shall I finish up the series and post again at that point?

I always sucked at MegaMan. Great sprites, though!  Brings back memories... of defeat.

Well, since this is a WIP for the entire MM series (1-8), here's MM4:
 
 
Even the tiniest of suggestions are always welcome...
 
 
Oh, and an extra one:

these look wonderfull! ...except for Skullman. I recal his helmet design to be more Skull-like.

vote for squirrels crates!

Yeah, it is...
I'm having a hard time getting it to look like a skull on this small of a scale though.

Been stalking this thread for a while...

Like pharao and ringman, they are so cute

rest is also splendid though :D

a small edit on Skullman:

if you strive away from your usual eyes, you can work the skull shape out.

Well, for the sake of uniformity, I would like to keep all the eyes as similar as possible, but this gives me an idea of how I might improve it.  Thanks!
 
edit:
How's this?  I think it turned out pretty good.
