Left leg looks like Escher's picture. Otherwise OK, though I didn't like single wing, it looks incomplete, because common sense says that every flying thing should have two wings.

9-bit color usually means palette R3G3B3 (512 total), like Sega Master System or Genesis had.

It is great work, though face proportions seems wrong for me.

She has really giant nose. And did you read rule 2 on the submission page?

Great idea and good realisation. The message is very clean and convincing.

All your musical gear art is good, but it looks like computer program interface, not like real objects - it's too flat.

The palette ruins the picture for sure.

Good, but too dark for me even in fullscreen.

This is anything but walking. Try to find animation of main hero from Lode Runner for Atari 8-bit, it has same resolution, but you'll have no doubts that it's running and not random jerking.

Does not looks like real PA for me. Quite jaggy lines. Looks more like hand-drawn picture, scanned and badly converted to b/w outline, or maybe manually traced in great rush, then slightly painted.

Colors are way too dark, it's barely visible.

Before trying to copy human figures, read any book about drawing and learn about representing objects using only simple volumetric primitives. I mean, spheres, boxes, etc. This is the basics of drawing, you must learn it first. Look at pictures here: http://www.drawmanga.ru/tutors-body/body.shtm (sorry, can't find english article).

How to make her better: first, you must master some much simpler objects and get skills of drawing good outlines. Next, learn classic drawing and human anatomy. Google 'how to draw (human) body' would help.

Sorry, I don't believe that there is no rotation on hats. Those single dots (line-empty dot-dot) and two pixel ladders at some edges are very specific rotation artefacts. There is no reason for them to be placed there manually, and that can't be done accidentally.

Is rotation allowed here? I don't know how else you can get so jaggy edges on hats.

Actually, zzman1, did you ever saw the ice? It have almost no color. Of course, you can use some color tones for artistic purposes, but too much saturation does not help it to look like ice.

Looks great except for low contrast.

Looks very professional.

There are many dolls-based works in PJ gallery.

Sorry, Exquisious, but it's really hard to post good comments for such a works. I think, would be better if you will not submit every random 5-minutes-of-work piece, but focus on just single piece and try to improve your skills to the next level (instead of comments like 'I will not do this, I suck at it'). It's gallery, after all.

Besides of gallery, there is also forum, where you can post your WIPs and get some help with improving it.
