blame you lazyness XD~
i must admit that i suck in paiting clothes, but the belt i know i could do better, in fact i didn´t finished this work yet, it comes with a background, but i took it off coz its unfinished...
You sure have got a nice metal shading there, specially on the gauntlet and on the Inu-Yashed sword XD
Still, you gotta revise the metal shading on the "belt", the outline shows a shape, while the shading show another. Plus, you used somekind of gradient shading, that's a no-no.
You've got to improve the cloth shading too, since it seems too squary and unnatural. Although you did a great job on the flurry parts. Congrats ;D
4/6
I´ll stop using black lines... if i cant get rid of my lazyness first ^^
All I can say is wow, this is ine of the most impresive pixel art I have seen.
Specially love the sword and the metal glove.
