First time i felt the specifications of a challange allowed me to actually make a decent peice without having a huge pixel piece with horrible dithering.. I feel like a learned a lot about pixel art with just the making of this piece and i hope to enter many more challanges :D
Looking good but could use some contrast. Especially the hair. BG has different quality to it and maybe you can make it just a little bit more intersting... Nice gray!
