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        MM5I 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.
Please CC!

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

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

a small edit on Skullman: if you strive away from your usual eyes, you can work the skull shape out. ------------- vote for squirrels crates! |

edit:
How's this? I think it turned out pretty good.
